Raid: World War II is a co-operative first-person shooter developed by Lion Game Lion, a Croatian Starbreeze partner studio that made various DLC packs for Payday 2. Much like that title, it uses the same engine (Diesel 2.0) and features a similar mode of gameplay. Up to four players can play as members of the titular Raid gang, a group of POWs tasked with crippling the German war machine through various sabotage, assassination and heist missions.
The following weapons appear in the video game Raid: World War II:
Players can assemble a team from four classes: Recon, Assault, Insurgent and Demolitions. Each class has a different range of weaponry, stats, and special abilities known as War Cries. As they level up, they can learn proficiencies that can boost their stats such as more health, speed, or easier lockpicking.
Recon - Recon raiders provide long-range fire support for other members. Their Sharpshooter war cry locks on to enemies, restores health for each enemy killed, and boosts the damage of teammates. At max level, the war cry also makes a successful headshot ricochet to nearby enemies, which is effective for clearing large groups. They can wield sniper rifles, SMGs, and assault rifles.
Assault - Assault raiders provide heavy firepower against the enemy. Their Berserk war cry reduces the ammo spent and continuously heals the team for its duration. At higher levels the ammo is not spent at all, and at maximum the war cry even refills the current magazine. They can wield assault rifles, SMGs, and LMGs.
Insurgent - Insurgent raiders specialize in close-quarters combat. Their Untouchable war cry grants the team a speed boost, a chance to dodge enemy fire, and also an ability to see nearby enemies through walls for the user. At max level, the dodge chance is 100%, essentially being god mode, but you can still be damaged by explosions. They can wield SMGs, shotguns, and LMGs.
Demolitions - Demolitions raiders obviously specialize in blowing things up. Their Ignition war cry gives them cluster grenades and grants some damage reduction for the team. At higher levels you pull a couple extra throwables out of nowhere when using the war cry, and they also explode when close to enemies as opposed to being timed. They can wield shotguns, assault rifles, and LMGs.
Weapons are unlocked by leveling up (every class has different unlock levels for weapons) and when upgraded can resemble different variants like in some other WWII shooters, like Call of Duty: Vanguard. To give the game credit, most of the visual upgrades are based on real and period-appropriate options.
Handguns
Handguns are available as a secondary backup weapon to all classes.
The upgraded M1911A1 is based on the Himan Lebman .38 Super machine pistol variant, wich was used by John Dillinger's gang, but with additional buttstock. It's actually based on this gun: [1].
The predecessor to the MP40, the MP 38 can be distinguished by its distinct milled receiver as opposed to the stamped receiver of the '40. It is available at level 28, and is the main weapon carried by regular enemy soldiers.
The Patchett Machine Carbine, a prototype of the Sterling SMG appears as an unlockable SMG at level 40, under the name of Sterling Machine Carbine. While it sounds anachronistic, the earliest Sterling models did see action in late November of 1944, so it makes sense for it to be a late yet formidable replacement to the Sten. The model appears to be specifically a Mk.I, No.62.
An equally unknown double-barreled shotgun that has been sawn-off to pistol size is an available sidearm at level 8 for Demolitions, and level 11 for the others.
The Sturmgewehr 44 is the only assault rifle in the game, available to all classes at level 33. It is also the main weapon used by veteran enemy soldiers.
The Bren gun is available to the Demolitions class at level 28, and to the Assault class at level 25.

This example is missing the folding metal butt strap on top of the stock: note the dovetail mount and screw hole on the side of the receiver under the magazine, which was for attaching a dial sight which does not seem to have ever been issued, and is only present on this version.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe upgraded Bren, which looks much more like the original Mk.I variant.
MG42
The MG42 machine gun is available to the Assault and Demolitions classes at level 38.
