Tropico 4 the most recently released title in the series (2011)

Tropico is a construction and city building game series where the player assumes the role of the leader of a tropical banana republic. Tropico 1 (2001), Tropico 3 (2009), Tropico 4 (2011), and Tropico 5 (due 2014) have a modern setting which gives the player the control of small Caribbean islands during the Cold War and beyond. The series is also well known for its soundtrack, humor, and the cast especially El Presidente.

The following weapons are featured in the Tropico series:


Flintlock Pistols

There are several Flintlock Pistols in the menu screen in Tropico 2.

M1911A1

Generals and El Presidente carry M1911A1 pistols in Tropico 3 & 4. Despite being American made handgun they will still be available even if Tropico is allied with the USSR unless there are meant to be Spanish Star Model Bs.

Smith & Wesson M&P

Policemen carry Smith & Wesson M&P pistols with a two tone finish in Tropico 3 & 4. Customs officers were introduced in Tropico 4 and carry the same pistol. The Smith & Wesson M&P is anachronistic because it was introduced in 2005 and Tropico starts in 1950 meaning it would not be around until decades after the game is set. Note that the pistol skin is mirrored and is missing the ejection port because of that.

M16A2

Soldiers in Tropico 3 & 4 carry M16A2 rifles. These rifles are anachronistic because the M16A2 was introduced in the 1980s and Tropico starts in 1950 meaning the M16 rifle series would not be around until a decade later. Despite being American made your military will still equip them even if Tropico is allied with the USSR unless they are suppose to be Tropican made clones.

KPVT Heavy Machine Gun

The Junta DLC adds military-themed decorations. These include armored fighting vehicles, which appear to be BTR-60s with a standard KPVT Heavy Machine Gun. The BTR-60s will be available even if Tropico is allied with the US. Getting a "Heavy Machinery" upgrade for the Weapons Factory will have a BTR-60 with a KPVT parked outside.
