FGM-148 Javelin
The FGM-148 Javelin appears as the only guided anti-armor weapon in the game, and like the real weapon can be operated in two modes; direct-attack and top-attack, the latter being the default mode, wherein the missile flies above the target and hits it from directly above, while direct attack has it flying straight at the target to hit it head-on.

M67 Hand Grenade
The M67 hand grenade is one of the weapons available in multiplayer mode, and is one of two lethal grenades available. Standard practice in multiplayer mode is to send the message "Frag out!", informing members of the player's squad that one of these grenades has been thrown, giving them time to clear the blast area to avoid friendly fire, which can have heavy penalties in multiplayer mode.
RGD-5 Hand Grenade
The RGD-5 hand grenade appears as the OPFOR counter to the M67 hand grenade]], having the same degree of lethality.

M18 Smoke Grenade
The M18 smoke grenade is another grenade available in the game and one of two non-lethal grenades available. During airborne training, a green M18 is used to mark the landing area the player must land their parachute in during the live jump in order to successfully qualify. In multiplayer mode, it emits only white smoke, and is useful for obscring the enemy's vision and providing temporary cover.
M84 Stun Grenade
The M84 stun grenade appears as the second non-lethal grenade in the game, first seen in the "Shoot House" and "ESS McKenna" training missions, as well as in multiplayer mode. A direct hit from one of these grenades leaves the player blind and deaf for several moments and unable to defend themselves. In the "Shoot House" mission, using these grenades delays the timer in that room, allowing the player more time to distinguish valid targets from friendlies and non-combatants.
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
The Browning M2HB heavy machine gun appears mounted on M1114 Humvees in one of the training missions, mounted in powered CROWS (Common Remotely Operated Weapon System) mountings operated from inside the vehicle.

GE M134 Minigun
The GE M134 Minigun appears mounted on UH-60 Blackhawk helcopters in one of the Special Forces training missions, dropping the player off for escape and evasion training.
