Duke Nukem Forever (2011)

Duke Nukem Forever is the longly awaited sequel of Duke Nukem 3D. It was developed for 15 years (1996-2011) by four different studios. 3D Realms started developing the game in 1996, several months after the huge success of the prequel. Due to financial problems in 2009 Triptych Games and Gearbox Software (known for Half-Life: Opposing Force and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway) took over the development and finished the game. The multiplayer part was developed by Piranha Games, the creators of Need for Speed: Shift.

The game was released in June 2011 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows.

The following weapons can be seen in the video game Duke Nukem Forever:

Usable Weapons

"M1911"

Duke's primary handgun is a heavily customized M1911-type pistol. The pistol has a golden slide and hammer, is fitted with a laser sight and tritium illuminated sights. Appears as "M1911" in the game and holds 8 rounds. A black version is also used by Pigcops (sometimes two in Akimbo), EDF Troopers and Secret Service agents. "HoloDuke" also uses the black version.
Sadly, the "M1911" offers relatively low power so it's pointless to carry it around in the later levels. Also, since Duke can only carry two guns now at a time (what a shame!), this pistol should be discarded as soon as possible.

Winchester 1300 Defender

The Winchester 1300 Defender seen in Duke Nukem 3D returns as a devastating close quarters weapon with high damage, decent accuracy, tolerable range and extreme dismemberment ability. It is fitted with front and rear Tacstar pistol grips and a heat-shield. It is usually used by Pigcops and EDF soldiers. The ejection port is portrayed on the wrong side. Called simply "Shotgun" in the game and holds 6 shells.

Duke pumps the Winchester. The shotgun is incorrectly pumped after every reload, even if there was an unfired shell in the chamber. The same inaccuracy can be found in many video games.

Close look on the shotgun shows that it is indeed a W1300 Defender.

"Ripper chaingun"

The Ripper is a gun loosely based on the Russian Pribor-3B triple-barreled assault rifle, though with a front-mounted magazine and side grip. It returns from the last game with the classic useless holo-sight replaced with an equally useless Picatinny sight rail. It is sometimes used by Pigcops and EDF soldiers.
