The IR Laser Pointer gives the user a beam of light down the muzzle, giving off a NV-visible only laser that indicates the user's muzzle point. It's used by both BLUFOR and OPFOR.

Flashlight
The Flashlight gives off light. It's used by both BLUFOR and OPFOR.

Optics
These mount on the rifle's optic slot.
RCO (Rifle Combat Optic)
The RCO gives a 12x image, and has built in drop comp. Used by the BLUFOR faction.
Despite the Advanced moniker, these are very similar to the RCO, both having built in rangefinding and 12x zoom. Used by the OPFOR faction.

Holosight
The Holosight is an EOTech-like sight, used by BLUFOR.

SOS (Sniper Optical Sight)
The SOS is mostly used with the anti-materiel rifles. It has a variable 10 to 84x zoom, and can be adjusted to hit up to 2300m targets. It's shared by both BLUFOR and OPFOR.
The ACO is one of the few attachments with two versions, one for BLUFOR, and one for OPFOR.

Suppressors
These mount on the Muzzle slot of the weapon. No weapon needs to change ammo type if a suppressor is attached, though this may change post-Alpha.
6.5mm Suppressor
This is used by every 6.5mm weapon, namely assault rifles.

9mm Suppressor
These snap on 9mm weapons, like pistols.

6.5mm LMG Suppressor
This is used exclusively by the Mk 200 machine gun.

7.62mm Suppressor
Used by 7.62mm weapons, like marksman rifles.

F2000 Foregrip
The F2000's foregrip is a Monolith Arms Tri-Rail System. Since Monolith Arms got bought by Magpul, Magpul may start producing them. I don't know. But that's why the F2000 has the P90 style foregrip.

If they started producing them again I might actually take a look at buying an FS 2000. That Monolith Arms foregrip is just too badass. --AdAstra2009 22:17, 10 July 2012 (CDT)
Sniper rifle on the poster.
I put it down as a Barrett M99, but can't be absolutely certain that its not a Barrett M95 without seeing the magazine (of lack thereof), but the length of the forend makes me think M99. Can anyone who knows more about these confirm? Jimmoy 09:52, 23 June 2011 (CDT)
Well, the guys on BIS forums are guessing M95. Also, about that unknown gun, it kinda sorta could be the new Skorpion. The EVO one? Tanaj 18:20, 26 June 2011 (CDT)
I think your very well right about the unknown gun being the CZ SCORPION EVO 3 A1, yep, it's defiantly it, way to go Tanaj! :) Mr. Wolf 21:51, 26 June 2011 (CDT)
Well, to be honest I looked it up on their forum. But to my credit it was one of my guesses even before that. :) Tanaj 09:02, 1 July 2011 (CDT)
Difficult to say, might be just an early model, but I do remember seeing a screenshot from the E3 presentation with a reload/pickup prompt with some more exotic round. 6.8 I think, but I'm not sure. Tanaj 09:02, 1 July 2011 (CDT)
Looks to just be Bohemia's take on the Remington ACR, similar to their take on the KAC LMG. Stock seems to be a cross between the ACR adjustable stock and a Magpul UBR, receiver configuration looks to have the same profile. Same overall weapon profile, with some key differences (Like location of the charging handle, and rail system). But my money is that it was just based off of the ACR.

Confirmed by a inside source, its in game name is the MX, its the NATO standard rifle and it fires the 6.5 Grendel. scarecrow 06:36, 7 June 2012 (CDT)
Not so much inside source as its name being plastered on all the E3 infantry gameplay.Temp89 06:31, 7 June 2012 (CDT)
No, inside source, I've known for a few months but haven't been on the site for a while; the gurrilla's also use the tavor... scarecrow 06:36, 7 June 2012 (CDT)
Tavor was one of the first weapons shown. Post something unknown for credibility. Temp89 10:07, 7 June 2012 (CDT)
Well i would love to but i prefer to avoid breaking my NDA and losing €25,000... scarecrow 19:22, 14 June 2012 (CDT)
Is it just me or does the magazine look too small for 6.5mm Grendel? Or maybe the scaling is just off in that first screenshot. Also, it is odd they have made the magazine straight, as the 6.5mm Grendel roung has a taper so the mag would need to be curved just like a .223. --commando552 06:45, 7 June 2012 (CDT)
That said, could it perhaps be chambered in some fictional caseless round? From what I understand (which is, granted, only stuff freely available online), the LSAT concept using a 5.56mm round isn't finalised and could be subject to change (assuming it ever sees the light of day). I suspect that this might be Bohemia's guess at what the LSAT rifle might look like. Just conjecture, but I thought it couldn't hurt to float the idea. Jimmoy 20:10, 4 July 2012 (CDT)
Glock 19
As noted as a PO7, it is most likely a place holder for the CZ PO7 Duty, thoughts? scarecrow 01:49, 10 July 2012 (CDT)
It's probably just a fictionalized name. ArmA II used G17 for it, and it looks like a nearly photo identical model was used for ArmA III. Dannysaysnoo 18:19, 2 February 2013
Well, everything is possible. We'll just wait and see :P --RaNgeR (talk) 13:49, 3 February 2013 (EST)
Click on that and expand it. The "Glock" is chambered in 9x21mm. It seems to mention a weapon similar to the PP-2000 as well. Dannysaysnoo 21:49, 8 Febuary 2013
Alpha release on March 5th
The alpha release will be on March 5th. We've been promised 12 weapons. I'll try and find out which as soon as I can. Dannysaysnoo 22:48, 26 Febuary 2013
Extended list of guns in the final game
In the Alpha a list of gun references were extracted from the files (with BIS's blessing). It may not be final or complete but it has some interesting entries:
