Handguns

M1911A1

The M1911A1 is the main sidearm available to the player throughout the game. Upgrades give it a quick draw holster to switch weapons with the pistol faster, a match trigger to improve rate of fire which allows you to fire the pistol as fast as you can tap the fire button, and lastly, "Magnum" rounds for increased fire power.

Mauser C96

The Mauser C96 is available only as a choice in the final "Der Flakturm" level. Upgrades include a shoulder stock to reduce recoil and 20 round magazines. The 3rd and final weapon upgrade eventually turns the C96 into the 712 model with full automatic capability. It should be noted that it is underpowered in the game, takng 5 rounds to the torso to take out an enemy. This is in contrast to its rounds (7.63x25mm mauser) real world ballistics, only slightly less powerful than a Tokarev TT-33 Pistol (7.62x25mm tokarev), a pistol known to be a good stopper, and even more so for its incredible penetration, which the C96 also exhibited.

M1903 Springfield

The main sniper rifle for "Travers". Upgrades give it an improved bolt for ejecting spent cartridges faster, stripper clips, and finally a grenade launcher. This should make the weapon the 1903A4 version used as a sniper weapon during the entire war by US troops.

Browning Automatic Rifle

Given the date this weapon becomes available in the game (post Market-Garden) this is the 1918A2 model. The upgrades include a muzzle brake to reduce recoil, adjustable sights, and dual magazines taped together "jungle-style".

Sturmgewehr 44

Finds its' way into the later stages of the game the first "storm gun" (which became assault rifle) eventually replaces the MP40, Karabiner 98k and Gewehr 43 in the hands of German troops. Upgrades give it a muzzle brake, a tactical scope and dual magazines.

Shotguns

Submachine Guns

Thompson Submachine Gun

One of the first weapons available in the game is the Thompson Submachine Gun. Upgrades include vertical foregrip, Cutts compensator, and 50 round drum magazines. It's accuracy is so high while having a higher damage than the MP-40. Often ends up running out of ammo quickly, it was sometimes disfavored. Note: The fully upgraded Thompson is a 1921 model because it empties a 50 round drum in 2 1\2 seconds.

MP40

The ubiquitous German weapon of WWII. The upgrades give a dual magazines taped "jungle-style", a 64 round magazine (for a 128 round stack, which makes the magazine almost bottomless, since the charecter never switches the stack for a fresh one), and an SS dagger for more effective melee attacks (though the dagger isn't even attached to the weapon itself.)

Explosives

M18 Recoilless Rifle

One of the anachronistic weapons in this game. Although the M18 recoilless rifle was developed towards the end of WWII it would not have been ready in time for the Normandy invasion (the only time it is openly available in the game). The upgrades give it a variable powered scope and increased ammo capacity. It's also a "hidden" weapon during the "Der Flakturm" level of the game at the top of the front right building. You must parachute into the top to get it.

Panzerschreck

The Panzerschreck is the main armament of Panzergrenadiers. It's available from the "Market-Garden" stages onward. This was an evolution of the American M9 bazooka often coming with shaped charge warheads. Available only as a pick up weapon in the game, not an optional load out weapon. Most famous for being used by the deadly Panzergrenaders, though they were fictionally portrayed in the game equipped with the Panzerschreck and ONLY the Panzerschreck, along with gas masks. In real life, Panzergrenadiers wielded MP40 submachineguns Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifles, and Karabiner 98k rifles in their arsenals. The Panzergrenadiers also use the rocket launcher to actively fire at infantry, which is highly unprofessional and unrealistic in military and historical regards.

Mk 2 Hand Grenade

The standard hand grenade of the Americans in the game. Eventually, with the proper weapon upgrades, you are able to launch them from the M1 Garand and the M1903 Springfield. Upgrades gives it bigger bags or satchels so the player can carry more grenades.
