World War Z is a third person shooter developed by Saber Interactive that is loosely based on the book of the same name and set in the same universe as the movie it shares it's name with. In a style similar to Left 4 Dead, players play 4 different survivors spread around various locations such as Moscow, Jerusalem, New York City and Tokyo dealing with massive hordes of zombies as well as various objectives. The guns in-game are broken into 4 different tiers with a few basic types of gun such as shotguns, semi-auto rifles, burst fire rifles and so on within each tier.
Tier I
M1911
The M1911 appears as the "Pistol" although the story calls it the "1911 Protector" The M1911 is the starting Secondary Weapon of every class unless upgraded. The pistol also comes stock with a suppressor which is good as it allows you to be stealthy and pick off zombies from the horde.
Glock 18
The Glock 18 appears as the "Machine Pistol" in the menu and the "Geist 17MP" in the story. The pistol looks to a mix of different Glock products, sharing bits from the Glock 17, 19 and most obviously the Glock 18 although it fires in 3 round burst over the actual Glock 18's fully automatic.
Ruger Mini-14
The Mini-14 appears as the "Scout Rifle" or "Mini-21" as one of the three starting primary weapons for certain classes.
IMI UZI
The Uzi appears as the "Compact SMG" as well as the story name of "Gal-9" as one of the three starting primary weapons.
Remington 870
Although it is named the "M500", the Tier 1 shotgun is really a Remington 870 with only a scant resemblence to the Mossberg with the squared off trigger guard. It is one of the other starting weapons.
Tier II
AR-15A2 Sporter II Lightweight
The AR-15A2 Sporter II Lightweight appears as the "Sporting Carbine" or the in-game story name of the "PAC-15". This is a possible upgrade over the Scout rifle for certain classes.
AK-103
The AK-103 appears in-game both as the "Assault Rifle" as well as the lore name "ARM-103".
H&K MP5A3
A slightly modified MP5 appears in the in-game world as the "SMG" or "TMP5".
SR-25
The SR-25 appears in the in-game world as the "Sniper Rifle" or the "MK110".
Benelli Super 90
The "Combat Shotgun" or "S890" is a bit of a mix of influences, seemingly based on the Remington 1100 but fitted with parts from the Benelli M4 Super 90, namely the collapsing stock and top rail/rear sight.
There is also a modified version of this Remington/Benelli hybrid as a secondary weapon, known as the "Compact Shotgun" which appears to just be the "Combat Shotgun" that someone sawed the barrel down on.
ST Kinetics CPW
The ST Kinetics CPW appears as either the generic "PDW" in-game or the "Senjata PDW" in the lore as a full auto secondary weapon.
Tier III
HK 416
The HK 416 appears as the "Assault Carbine" although the lore name does call it a "HW416".
FN Scar-17
The FN SCAR-17 appears as the high-tier semi-auto rifle as the "Battle Rifle" or "HAMR-17".
IMI Tavor TAR-21
The IMI Tavor appears as the "Bullpup Rifle" or the "XTAR-95 as the high-tier 3 round burst rifle.
KRISS Vector
The KRISS Vector appears as the "Advanced SMG" or the "Keris V10" presumably as a reference to the Kriss K10 prototype.
Fostech Origin-12
The Fostech Origin-12 appears as the "Assault Shotgun" although the in-game lore seems to have gotten it confused with the gun it's based on, the Saiga 12 given the lore name "Taiga 12". It also comes complete with a full stock instead of a brace and non-standard length barrel and handguards.
Unknown Crossbow
A crossbow appears simply as the "Crossbow" although the story in the game calls it the "Repeater X". Unlike most real world crossbows, the in-game one seemingly uses explosive bolts, most likely for balance reasons as it would not be all that useful as most weapons in-game can acquire suppressors rendering the crossbow's advantage a tad moot.
Other
Browning M2HB
Emplaced Browning M2HB turrets appear throughout the game and are player-usable against the horde.
