Talk:Half-Life

Alien Weapons

Should the alien weapons be put into this article? I know they aren't real, but they are still weapons from the game

Nope --AdAstra2009 06:24, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Why not? Why not the Gluon gun or the Tau as well?

They are considered as fictional firearms and have no use being put here. - Kenny99 20:04, 17 September 2011 (CDT)

Different mods

I think we should probably divide the guns up among pages for the original Half-Life, and also make new pages for Opposing Force and Blue Shift. I don't think we should throw the OpFor and Blue Shift (read: HD Pack) weapons on this page.

Half Life norm smg

Isn't it a Bizon not an MP5 with the MP5 being added via mods?

You have that the wrong way round.

dose the crossbow count as a weapon on this sight?

MP5 SD

I'm pretty sure the mp 5 in th egame is the silenced variant, it sure looks like it.

it is an mp5. if you look at it while its on the ground you can see its an mp5

This is a very well-known continuity error. The Player (p_view) model is an MP5SD3, but the World (w_view) model that lies on the ground is an MP5A3. On the other hand, the weapon certainly does not sound like an MP5SD3. -MT2008

The thing that looks like a silencer is a compensator used to protect the grenade launcher. ---Drake2

Yeah, just like the one from "End of Days"

No, it's not. Look at the model some time using the Half-Life Model Viewer or any other such program. The p_view MP5 model clearly has an MP5SD hand guard and suppressor, not a ported compensator and G3-style hand guard like the End of Days MP5. Not to mention that Half-Life was released almost a year before End of Days, so I doubt the Half-Life artists used that gun as their reference point. -MT2008

M4?

The "M4" would be a Colt Commando seeing as it has a fixed carry handles and no features that would identify it as an M4. --AdAstra2009 23:51, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

If it has a stepped barrel, it could be...sort of. The Colt Model 777 (which is the first gun that was adopted as "the M4") did not have a detachable carry handle. But the 777 also fires burst. The full-auto version of the 777, the 727, was never adopted. And I think the Half-Life: Blue Shift "M4" is a full-auto weapon. -MT2008

RPG

For me the RPG looks kinda wierd too,but Combine OverWiki(half life wikia) says that it resembles an Armbrust.Is this true?

i think it does. i checked with combine overwiki (i am a member) and it does say that, when i googled it,it doeslook just like it. its called the HECU RPG, but RPG is rocket proppelled greneade and this isnt its more like laser guided rocket launcher smish34

Taken from Main Page

They've only used the single action .45 ACP M1911/M1911A1, and the SIG-Sauer P226 and M9 in 9mm.

Just one question: when has the USMC ever used the SIG? They don't even give SIGs to their pilots (contrast this with the Navy, who issues the P228 to their pilots as well as SEALs.--24.15.51.1 23:55, 15 April 2011 (CDT)

Can anyone please help with these guns?

Thanks. - bozitojugg3rn4ut 14:04, 16 October 2011 (CDT)

1 is supposed to be a Bradley, so it's an M242 Bushmaster chaingun. 2 doesn't really have enough detail to ID; it looks more like they based it on a WW2 anti-tank gun than a modern artillery piece, though. 3 would just be "fictional gatling gun." Evil Tim 14:39, 16 October 2011 (CDT)

Also, get a picture of the Abrams, it's worth commenting that the hull machine gun it has is totally wrong since I can't off-hand think of any MBT that's ever had a hull MG; it compromises the glacis plate. Evil Tim 14:46, 16 October 2011 (CDT)

Ok, will get an image. But first tell me which tank is the Abrams. There is a yellow tank or the green tank. The green tank has a Browning on its top, the yellow one has no MG on it. (so I'm thinking it is the green one) - bozitojugg3rn4ut 15:25, 16 October 2011 (CDT)

I only recall one tank (the green one, IIRC). When do you see the other? Evil Tim 15:27, 16 October 2011 (CDT)

There is a tank with desert finish when climbing up from the sewers I think. I didnt cap it because there was no gun on it.

The Green Tank

Is this the Abrams? And back to the Bradley: can we add the TOWs too? (see, I did some research in the past minutes...XD) - bozitojugg3rn4ut 15:40, 16 October 2011 (CDT)

You can, yes. The tank with the hull gun is in an open area with trenches you can use to sneak around it, I think it's just after that Bradley you've got in the picture. Evil Tim 16:28, 16 October 2011 (CDT)

This is what you meant, right? This is from the original game. In the HD version there is a small window and the Browning is sticking out from there so it is a little bit more acceptable.

+ a bonus mortar awaiting the IDing

bozitojugg3rn4ut 08:56, 17 October 2011 (CDT)

Fictional again (if it were anything real it would be a >12 inch siege mortar), and that stupid little mount would probably just make it flip over backwards if you tried to fire it in real life. Evil Tim 09:35, 17 October 2011 (CDT)

I do think you should leave one non-HD screenshot at the top of each section, just to illustrate the difference better. That's what I'm planning to do when MGS HD Collection comes out. Evil Tim 07:32, 18 October 2011 (CDT)

Changed the order of some of the images. now most weapons have pics of both versions, Maybe I will get the rest when I have the time but to be honest playing the old version hurts. Really. Oh, and the combine wiki claims that the artillery is a M198 Howitzer. What do you think? - bozitojugg3rn4ut 08:06, 18 October 2011 (CDT)

I think not. Take a look. [1] - Mr. Wolf 10:55, 18 October 2011 (CDT)

Yeah, game-specific Wikis can have some fairly "interesting" ideas about weapon IDs added. If someone held a gun to my head and said I had to ID it as something, I'd say it was a deployed PaK 44 with the wheels missing, but it looks nothing like any modern field gun. And looking at the mortar again, I think they based it on a telescope. Evil Tim 11:01, 18 October 2011 (CDT)

Mills Bomb instead of Mk II Grenade

I've been looking at the handgrenade in the original game and it looks more like a Mills Bomb rather than a MkII. What do you think?

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Mills Bomb High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Original version of the Mk 2 grenade.

The fuze looks nothing like a Mills bomb's fuze. It is just a big fat Mk2 grenade. - bozitojugg3rn4ut 11:52, 22 May 2012 (CDT)

Could say that the the scoring patterns on the body looks nothing like a Mk2. Perhaps a hybrid?

Beretta 92FS

Why does it say that the 17-round magazine is incorrect for the Beretta 92FS? On the main page for the Beretta 92 pistol series, the 17-round capacity is included --Ultimate94ninja 15:59, 11 August 2012 (CDT)

Where on the page for the Beretta 92 does it say that there is a 17 round magazine for it? I want to know because I just checked and found none. Jeddostotle7 20:26, 11 August 2012 (CDT)
