BlackSite (2007)


BlackSite: Area 51 (also know as BlackSite-only in Europe) is a horror first person shooter developed by Midway Austin. It was published in 2007 for PC, XboX 360 and PlayStation 3. The game is unrelated to the 2005 video game Area-51, however both games share the same developer and publisher.


The following weapons appear in the video game BlackSite:


Colt M4A1

The M4A1 fitted with EOTech holographic sight and dual mags is the most common weapon in the game. Delta Force members and ReBorn soldiers carry it as their primary weapon. Referred to as "Assault Rifle". Holds (erroneously) 45 rounds in a standard 30-round STANAG magazine. The reload animations of this weapon are completely mixed up: When there is a bullet in the chamber and the player reloads the weapon, the player's character will press the bolt catch release button. But when the rifle is completely empty, he will just swap the magazines without any chambering action after.

Heckler & Koch USP Tactical

The standard sidearm for every mission in the game is the H&K USP Tactical. Many other Delta Force members carry one in their holsters, but they never use it. The pistol holds 15 rounds in the mag and is useful against small aliens. The game and the manual calls it "MK.23" but it can be clearly seen that the gun is the Heckler & Koch USP Tactical not the Heckler & Koch Mark 23.

Heckler & Koch XM8 Sharpshooter Variant

The Heckler & Koch XM8 is used as a sniper rifle in the game and being unrealistic, only has a 5-round magazine. Maybe it's meant to fire 6 rounds in one burst so you only pull the trigger 5 times. Convenient.

Izhmash AK-47

The AK-47 is used only by Iraqi Republican Guards in the prologue. Not usable by player. (Strangely when an Iraqi soldier is killed, he will drop ammo for the M4A1.)

Mk 2 hand grenade

The standard fragmentation grenade in the game is the Mk 2 hand grenade. The player can carry up to 5 in single player, 3 in the MP. They are very useful against stronger aliens and ReBorn soldiers hiding behind cover. These grenades seem to be a little bit futuristic, since they explode on contact.
