Operation Flashpoint: Dragon RisingOperation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising - Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video GamesOperation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is the official successor to Operation Flashpoint, developed by Codemasters instead of Bohemia Interactive Studio. The game revolves around a hypothetical conflict between the United States and China over the oil-rich Russian island of Skira, a fictional island based on the real life island of Kiska in the Aleutian Island chain.
The following weapons can be seen in the game Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising:
The standard issue sidearm of the Marine Forces in the game is the M-45 MEU (SOC). Although accurate for the Force Recon operators in the game, it is unrealistic for the front line Marine units, who would normally be issued the Beretta M9A1. The M-45 is noticeable for it's higher recoil in contrast to the primary weapons, on account of the heavy .45 caliber bullet.
Norinco QSZ-92
