Battlefield: Bad Company
Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following weapons are used in the video game Battlefield: Bad Company:
Battlefield Bad Company is the first of the Bad Company branch on EA's highly successful Battlefield franchise. The game itself revolves around a single squad during an unclear conflict between USA and Russian forces. The game itself was praised for it's unique destructive features, powered by the Frostbite engine, which allow a greater deal of realism to be introduced to the player. Buildings in particular suffer damage to a degree that only the frame will remain. However, it will not collapse entirely, due to balance and gameplay stability reasons. The sequel, however, allows buildings to be completely decimated.
Battlefield Bad Company was also the first to feature pre-order in-game bonuses, in this case 5 weapons, 1 for each class. As of September 2011, unlock codes exists for 4 of these 5 weapons, allowing new players to unlock them as the original unlock methods for 2 of these 4 have long since expired or become invalid soon after the game's release.

Beretta M9
The Beretta M9 is the handgun that is paired with the Barrett M95 and other American guns. Somehow this pistol is more effective than some assault rifles.
MP-412 REX
The MP-412 REX is the revolver that is paired with the GOL sniper rifle and other Middle Eastern guns. Deadlier than even the M9.
MP-443 Grach
The MP-443 Grach is the pistol that is paired with the SV-98 and other Russian guns. Similar stats to the M9. On the mission "Crash and Grab", an MP-443 paired with grenades is the player's starting weapon.
Submachine Guns
PP-2000
The PP-2000 is used by some Russian specialist troops. This weapon has the highest rate of fire of any gun in the game, but poor accuracy and damage. It also has a Silencer attached.

Shotguns
Remington 870MCS
The Remington 870MCS is standard issue to US Demolition troops. Used by Pvt. Haggard as his main weapon in the game. This weapon has the same characteristics as the other starting pump-action shotgun in the game, the TI-94.
Neostead shotgun
Neostead shotguns are used by some Legionnaire's demolition troops. The Neostead shotgun is the most accurate and therefore the best shotgun in the game at range, but its tight spread makes it harder to fight at close range.
Saiga 20K
The Saiga 20K is the standard issue weapon of Russian demolition troops. Called the S20K in game, it is the only semi-automatic starting shotgun available. Has some sort of carrying handle on the handguard.
Franchi SPAS-12
The Franchi SPAS-12 is used by some of the Legionnaire's demolition troops. It is identical to the two starting pump-action shotguns in the game aside from the handling statistic, which is slightly higher due to its short length; the stock is never shown extended. It is incorrectly used as pump-action only.
Franchi SPAS-15
The Franchi SPAS-15 is a semi-automatic shotgun, and is the only weapon that doesn't reappear in the sequel.

Assault Rifles
Heckler & Koch HK416
The Heckler & Koch HK416 is standard issue weapon to US Assault troops with designated name of 'M416'. One would think that a version used by the US military would use AR style iron sights instead of the H&K style sights. Also, on close inspection, the 416 you use has the ejection on the left side. So it's a lefty 416 which hasn't been actually produced yet. It is odd that you start out with this rifle, but your character is right handed. It is used by Sgt. Redford and Pvt. Marlow (Player Character) as their main weapons of choice. The three basic Assault Rifles in the game all behave in exactly the same way for balance purposes; this includes the AEK971, the AUG, and the HK416.
FN F2000 Tactical
The FN F2000 Tactical is a multiplayer-only weapon unlocked by going on the EA website and registering your other Battlefield games for "veteran" status. It is characterized by an insanely high rate of fire and moderate accuracy, making it extremely effective at close range.
Heckler & Koch XM8
The Heckler & Koch XM8 is a high rate of fire assault rifle with good accuracy, but is not generally used because of its low damage. Instead of the XM8's built-in scope, all variants of the XM8 use the rear sights from the G36C with custom forward sights.
Used by some of the Legionnaire's Assault troops. The vanilla XM8 uses an XM320 grenade launcher.
Steyr AUG A3
The Steyr AUG A3 is standard issue to MEC Assault troops. This has the same statistics as the other two starting assault rifles, namely the AEK971 and HK416. It mounts a M203 grenade launcher.
AEK-971
The AEK-971 is standard issue to Russian Assault troops. This has the same statistics as the other two starting assault rifles, namely the AUG and H&K 416. A Golden AEK-971 is seen hanging up on a wall in Zavimir Serdar's Office in the Palace.
AN-94
The AN-94 is used by some Russian assault troops. Comes with a GP-30 Grenade Launcher. The AN-94 has a clear sight picture, very high rate of fire and good accuracy balanced by low damage. It's considered one of the best rifles in the game, next to the M16.
M16 Rifle
The M16A3-like full-auto Assault Rifle appears as a name 'M16' with M203 Grenade Launcher. It is used by some of the Legionnaire's assault troops. The most accurate and powerful assault rifle in the game. Considered one of the two best rifles in the game, along with the AN-94.

Sniper Rifles
GOL sniper rifle
The GOL sniper rifle is a German made sniper rifle used by MEC recon troops. This has the characteristics of the other two sniper rifles in the game, the M24 and the SV-98.
M24 Sniper Weapon System

Barrett M95
The Barrett M95 is used by some US and Legionnaire's recon troops. The M95 is depicted as having a 5 round magazine, likely for game balance purposes. It is by far the strongest gun in the game, being able to be used as an anti-aircraft gun.It's got a Camo paint job.
Norinco QBU-88
The Norinco QBU-88 isa semi-automatic sniper rifle unlocked by pre-ordering the game. An interesting note is that the animations used for the weapon are exactly the same to the ones used on the same weapon in Battlefield 2.
SVU Dragunov
The SVU Dragunov is used by some Russian recon troops. The SVU is a semi-automatic sniper rifle equipped with a suppressor. It has enough power that players can take down helicopters in only a couple magazines. In singleplayer the SVU is rare, only appearing twice and only on one level.
VSS Vintorez
The VSS Vintorez is the highest capacity and highest rate of fire sniper rifle available, but also does little damage. It has enough accuracy that some players can actually use it unscoped at close and medium range.
Light Machine Guns
Heckler & Koch MG36
The Heckler & Koch MG36 is used by of the Legionnaire's support troops. The MG36 is accurate, but not very powerful. It is widely used because the reflex optic makes it the easiest to aim accurately at long range, acting as a makeshift scope.
Since the MG36 is shown with an export sight despite the real weapon never being exported, it is most likely based on a G36 with a bipod handguard and Beta-C Mag rather than an authentic MG36.
M249 SAW Paratrooper
The M249 SAW Para is standard issue of US support troops, and to Pvt. Sweetwater. This has the same characteristics as the other two starting LMGs in the game, the PKM and the QJY-88.

Heckler & Koch XM8 LMG
The XM8 LMG is a middle of the road weapon, and not widely used. Used by the Legionnaire's support troops.
MG3
The MG3 is the highest rate of fire LMG in the game, but is also a little weak and very inaccurate,Which is strange because 7.62x51mm NATO packs a punch.

XM312
The XM312 is seen mounted on US "Humvee" light trucks.
XM307
The XM307 is seen mounted on vehicles.
AT-14 "Spriggan"
AT-14 "Spriggan" (Russian designation 9M133 Kornet) missile launchers can be found in fixed positions. They fire a slow-moving, steerable SACLOS guided missile which moves towards the middle of the player's crosshair as it travels; as per older videogame standards, it will do this even if there is no actual line of sight between the missile and the beam it is supposed to be seeking. This allows it to be steered even if the crosshair is actually pointed at a wall directly in front of the launcher.
ZU-23-2
ZU-23-2 antiaircraft guns are deployed in various maps and seen in the first mission of the campaign, and can also be seen mounted on BMD-3 hulls during the helicopter mission.
M230 Chain Gun
M230 Chain Guns are seen mounted on AH-64 Apache attack helicopters.
Shipunov 2A42
Russian Hind-D attack helicopters are incorrectly shown with a Shipunov 2A42 gun mounted under their nose rather than the normal Yak-B gatling. Presumably, this is to give their chin gun the same range of motion as the M230 on the Apache. It is also shown as the main armament of Russian BMD-3 IFVs.
