Battlefield 3 (2011)


Pistols

Beretta M9

In the beginning of the new "Fault Line Episode 1" video, a Marine who is sitting in front of the player has a Beretta M9 pistol holstered to his vest. It can also be seen in the multiplayer footage of E3 that the player is reloading his M9. Another note of interest is that unlike Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Medal of Honor, the M9's magazine has 16 rounds (15 in the mag, one in the chamber).

Assault Rifles

M16A4 Rifle

The M16A4 rifle is briefly shown during gameplay footage. For some reason it has no iron sights or even optic sights, but this is because of the alpha stages of the game.

M4A1 Carbine

The M4A1 Carbine is commonly seen in gameplay footage which is also in the hands of the main character. Because of the alpha stages, the in-game M4A1 can be seen fitted with iron sights, EOtech 551 Holographic sight, Trijicon 4x32 ACOG scope, Surefire Universal Weaponlight, AN/PEQ-2 laser designator, Magpul Ranger Plate and an unknown stock (possibly a painted LE stock or Magpul CTR stock). The player character also performs the weapon's reload procedure wrong, racking the charging handle after loading a new magazine rather than using the bolt release. Though this would work, it is much less practical. Another interesting thing to note is that at the start of the same trailer, the player's magazines shown to have 31 rounds of his M4A1. This would mean that he has a 30 round mag and 1 in the chamber. Although during combat, one might conduct a tactical reload, loading a fresh mag while one is still in the chamber, it is not common for a Marine to already have a round chambered and a full mag loaded from the very start. Another thing to note, the M4 depicted in the Operation Metro trailer has full iron sights and has not been seen with an optic. Not to be mistaken with the M16A4 in the trailer, which is lacking a front sight post/gas block with the ACOG.

Machine Guns

M240B Machine Gun

The M240B appears in the hands of some U.S. Marines, and in the hands of the player, fitted with an EOtech 551 Holographic sight. The trailer shows the weapon as having a deployable bipod which can be used to increase accuracy during prolonged firing, at the cost of player mobility.

Mk. 46 Mod 0/M249 SAW

The Mk. 46 Mod 0/M249 SAW was seen in E3 multiplayer footage. Because of the sticking out rail on the top of the handguard, this likely to be the Mk. 46 Mod 0.

Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun

The Browning M2HB heavy machine gun appears in the game mounted on vehicles, including M1A2 Abrams tanks. The Abrams appear to be fitted with a remote mounting for the M2HB allowing the Commander to fire the weapon from inside the safety of the turret, a feature recently implemented on real M1A2's operating in Iraq.
