Death Stranding is a 2019 video game developed by Kojima Productions. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world in the former USA, after an event called the "Death Stranding" that united the worlds of the living and the dead. The game follows a porter called Sam Porter Bridges (portrayed by Norman Reedus) in his attempt to reunite America.
The following weapons appear in the video game Death Stranding:
An unnamed rifle heavily based on the AR-15 and AR-10, but with a side charging upper receiver is seen used by Clifford Unger (portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen) and his skeleton soldiers. Note the KAC Gangster Grip-style vertical grip with integrated weaponlight, a neat touch regarding Cliff's past as an American special forces operator in Iraq.
Fictional rifles heavily based on the pre-production AR-15 and AR-10 are used by American soldiers during a Vietnam War flashback in Episode 11: Clifford Unger, sometimes with an XM148 grenade launcher attached. These rifles are very clearly predecessors of the rifle wielded by Clifford Unger himself.
The XM148 grenade launcher can be seen attached to a few of the franken-ARs in Episode 11: Clifford Unger.
