UFO: Aftermath
|
Developed by Altar Interactive, UFO: Aftermath is a real-time tactics game heavily inspired by the original X-COM, (Altar bought the rights to a cancelled X-com successor, The Dreamland Chronicles: Freedom Ridge, though Altar found the game's engine too unfinished to be usuable and made their own game using some of the story concepts from it.) just like the original X-COM, the player will fight battles on a tactical view, just now in real time and use a geoscape view to select missions and pursue research and development of weaponry to fight back the Alien Threat that has almost completely wiped out humanity.
Many weapons in the game are capable of a "Burst" firing mode, though often single-shot weapons such as handguns have a "Burst" mode, any weapon that isn't a Sniper Rifle, Shotgun or Rocket Launcher usually has a burst function, the game also splits weapons into "Pistols", "Rifles and "Heavy" weapons, which often feature weapons that are simply "close enough" in that category. (for instance all submachine guns use the "Pistol" category and skill and Shotguns go into the "Rifles" category in-game, Sniper Rifles also go into the "Rifles" category in the equipment menu despite using their own seperate aiming skill.)
While the game does correctly track what caliber a weapon uses in the in-game Glossary, weapons use non-interchangable magazines in-gameplay.
UFO: Aftermath was followed up by UFO: Aftershock and UFO: Afterlight

Sa Skorpion Hybrid
The Skorpion SA machine pistol appears as the lightest submachine gun in the game, making it a good submachine gun for units with low strength. It has the wooden grip of a Vz.61, is called the Vz.83 and the in-game glossary claims it is chambered in 9mm which neither version was available in.

Heckler & Koch CAWS
The Heckler & Koch CAWS appears as one of the shotguns, it and the Super Striker are the only shotguns with a Burst firing mode.

An odd weapon in the line-up, the "Super Striker" as it's called in-game (and "SuperStrike" in the Glossary description), is a Shotgun exclusively firing 20mm grenades instead of shotgun shells, it appears to be based on the Armsel Protecta.
Assault/Battle Rifles

Snipers
Remington 700
The Remington 700 appears as the first available Sniper Rifle, the bolt is textured on and since the textures are mirrored, the weapon has a bolt on both sides of the weapon.
Heckler & Koch PSG-1
The Heckler & Koch PSG-1 appears as one of the game's sniper rifles. It is modeled with a 20-round magazine, but holds 30 rounds in-game; its ammunition is also treated as distinct, despite it and the Heckler & Koch G3 (upon which it was based) being able to freely interchange magazines in reality.

The RPG-7 appears as one of the usable Rocket Launchers.
M72 LAW
The M72 LAW appears in the game with a fictionalized deisgn as the "OSAW" (Which according to the game, stands for "One Shot AW"), it was likely originally going to just be a LAW as the game seemingly calls it a LAW in the description for the fictionalized SMAW (While the LAW's description mentions the SMAW by it's in-game fictional name to compare the two.)
Mk 153 SMAW
The Mk 153 SMAW appears in-game as the "SLAW" (Standing for "Shoulder Launched AW), according to the game, it is an improved version of the "OSAW" (or LAW as the Glossary slips up and calls it)

Other
