Tropico Series

Tropico 4 (2011)

Tropico is a construction and city building game series where the player assumes the role of the leader of a tropical banana republic. Tropico 1 (2001), Tropico 3 (2009), and Tropico 4 (2011) have a modern setting which gives the player the control of small Caribbean island during the Cold War. Tropico 4 uses the same engine and models as Tropico 3.

The following weapons are featured in the Tropico series:

The statues have M16A2 rifles and AK type rifles. The right statue uses the soldier and the rebel models from the game.

M16A2

Soldiers in Tropico 3 & 4 carry M16A2 rifles. These rifles are anachronistic because the M16A2 was introduced in the 1980s and Tropico starts in 1950 and the M16 rifle series would not be around until a decade after the game is set.
