Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014) is a first-person shooter developed by Machinegames and Betheda Software. The game continues the story of BJ Blazkowicz, a year or so on from the events of the Wolfenstein semi-reboot. The year is 1946; an alternate timeline has been formed where the Nazis refuse to surrender and are able to continue the war for another year, using this time to create giant dieselpunk monstrosities and oddly lumpy psuedo-fictional weaponry. Following a botched attempt to finally kill General Deathshead after all these years, Blazkowicz is put into a coma by shrapnel. When he wakes up again, much to his horror, the year is 1960 and the Third Reich has the world in their hands. With the help of a Polish nurse called Anya, Blazkowicz attempts to find any smatter of resistance within the world and try to fight the Nazis, while also fighting his steadily weakening sanity...
Handguns
Luger P08
Called "Handgun 1946", it appears in 1946 as a standard weapon of the Nazi powers. It can be dual-wielded and suppressed. Also BJ can use it in 1960 in his nightmare, as well as being the weapon of Frau Engel - one of the antagonists of the game. The in-game version incorrectly holds 10 cartridges in the magazine, contrary to the real Luger, which has 8. It's often found in the hands of resistance members.
Handgun 1960
A dieselpunk Luger appears as the main sidearm of the Nazis during the 1960's. It fires in a three-round burst and can also be dual-wielded and suppressed. When suppressed the gun becomes single fire and a special, permanently suppressed white version of the pistol can be found on the Lunar Base. Both versions hold 20 rounds. Honestly, it's a good question why its barrel is so big.
Shotguns
Double barreled shotgun
William can use a double-barreled shotgun that is first found within the Asylum, then later within the sewers of Berlin. It holds 2 cartridges and can be dual-wielded.
Fictional Belt-fed shotgun
A mostly fictional, fully-automatic, belt-fed double-barreled shotgun that appears to have the barrel shroud of a MG42. The weapon is weakly based off of the M1014 - seemingly anachronistic, seeing that Benelli shotguns were not produced before end of the 1970s. First found in the Prison and can be dual-wielded, holding 20 shells apiece. An alternate ammo type, Shrapnel Shells, can be found from the U-Boat level onwards that ricochet off walls.
Submachine guns
Thompson M1928A1
Blazkowicz and his fellow troops uses this dieselpunk Thompson during the 1946 tutorial level. Has a fast fire rate with easily scavengable ammo, but is rather weak. Some versions seen in the hands of Allied troops carry custom vertical foregrips; Blazkowicz's version never has this. Simply referred to as the "SMG". It actually appears to eject small rifle casings.
Assault Rifles
STG-44
A retro-futuristic (and lumpy) STG-44 called "Assaut Rifle 1946" is used by the Nazis during the 1946 chapter. Holds 30 rounds and can be dual-wielded. It also appears in 1960 in the Wolfenstein 3D nightmare, replacing the original "Machine gun" from the Wolfenstein 3D (which was an MP40). On a side note the magazine will always have at 5-6 bullets in it,even when the gun is empty.
Assault Rifle 1960
A strange hybrid of the STG-44, Heckler & Koch G3/MP5 and FN FAL that is the main weapon of the Nazis during the 1960's. Holds 45 rounds and can be dual-wielded. In cut-scenes, Nazi soldiers hold variants with foregrips and burst fire, while some models in-game have what appears to be a bulky Rocket Launcher with internals best left ambiguous (weakly based on Kampfpistole Z): Blazkowicz's version never has the foregrip, but the Rocket Launcher is found on the Gibraltar Bridge. During the game, Blazkowicz will sometimes fiddle with the weapon, either checking the magazine, checking the gun is loaded and moving the rear sight.
Battle rifles
AR Marksman
A semi-auto marksman rifle that appears in 1960 as weapon of the Nazi forces. No soldier ever uses one until the Lunar Base, however; before that they are simply strewn around the levels for the player to use. It weakly based on FN SCAR, possibly the SSR variant - while technically anachronistic, because no SCAR rifle was produced before 2000-s, it may be it's alternate timeline equivalent (it's certain that FN does not exist within the game world). It also can be dual-wielded, but due to it's nature is rather unwieldy to the point that dual Handgun 1960s are a lot better for close combat. A variant found on the Lunar Base flips the scope aside and enables it to fire lasers; after this level the gun can change between lasers and bullets at any time by flipping the scope up or down. Exactly HOW this is done is best left unknown too.
Machine Guns
MG42 Minigun hybrid
A bizarre weapon resembling a bulkier MG42 with a minigun assembly made of four MG42 barrels appears in 1946, and after a fight with several Ubersoldats in 1960.

Laser MG42
The MG42 minigun is then replaced for an equally MG42-like weapon in 1960. Except it shoots lasers this time, but that's normal by this game's standards.
Other
Einhandgranate 39
A Model 39 Eihandgranate is used by Wilhelm Strasse in a rather spoiler-tastic part near the end of the game.
Stielhandgranate 24
Model 24 Stielhandgranate is a weapon of Nazi in 1946. It is only used by Blazkowicz; rarely for a first person shooter, enemies never use the grenades. An updated version appears in 1960 as the "Telsa Grenade" that has the ability to temporarily short-circuit various mechanical enemies. The enemies actually do use it.
