In Counterstrike:Source the player can use the FAMAS F1, in most other games the newer version (FAMAS F2) is available. Two versions: Giat FAMAS F1 and Giat FAMAS F2.Main difference:The effective range of the FAMAS F2 is a lot higher:F1: 300m, F2: 450mAdditionally the FAMAS F2 has a higher rate of fire and a bigger magazine (30 rounds instead of 25 on the FAMAS F1).

Wikipedia claims, the F2000 is the civilian version of the military FN FS2000 assault rifle. Still there are armies who use the F2000 assault rifle (e.g. Belgium if I am not wrong). So what is the real difference between these two versions? Battlefield Bad Company 2 uses this rifle instead of the FS2000, no idea why :).

Used for example in the games Battlefield 2 or Splintercell.The FN FS2000 is a "civilian" version of the FN F2000 assault rifle. The FS2000 has no slug for a bajonett (not used very often in civilian areas ) and is semi automatic only. This means there is a big bug in the naming for this rifle in Battlefield 2 .

The SCAR exists basically in 2 versions:SCAR-H andSCAR-LThe SCAR-H has a 20 round magazine, the SCAR-L has a clip with 30 rounds. You can easily recognize the versions, because the magazine is different: the 20 round clip is straight, the 30 round clip is a little round like the one from the M16 rifle.

The FN Herstal SCAR-L assault rifle fires 5.56x45mm rounds from M16 clips..The FN Herstal SCAR-H (heavy) fires 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition. Usage in real life: The SCAR-L is chosen to replace the M4A1 carabine, the Mk18 CQBR and Mk12 SPR. The SCAR-H will replace the M14 and Mk11 sniper rifles.

The first game that used this weapon was the role play game Jagged Alliance. The Unreal Tournament modification "Infiltration" was the first bigger mod I know of, that used this rifle.

This rifle is used in different versions by the german special forces "KSK" (Kommando Spezialkräfte = "Special Forces group"). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_G36

This rifle really exists, but even on the manufacturer's homepage I coudln't find a specification of it... wierd.

The G36K is the short version of the G36.It has a foldable stock, a shorter barrel (so also a shorter effective range). It has an additional bottom rail to attach flash or laser lights. Especially the flash lights for Heckler & Koch USP pistol can be switched between the G36K and the USP.A grenade launcher can NOT be used on the G36K.

Especially in dust tests the HK 416 performs better than the M4 (Source: http://www.armytimes.com/news/2007/12/army_carbine_dusttest_071217/). Real Life vs. Games: Battlefield Bad Company 2 calls it M416 (and many sites claim, it's a combination of M4 and M16), but this rifle is a complete new development from Heckler & Koch, designed to use parts from the M4 and M16 series. The HK 416 was developed by the german manufacturer Heckler & Koch with support by the US Delta Force. It is designed to use parts from other weapons (especially the stock and trigger group from the M4) and combine it with the new parts from the HK 416. Who uses it? Afaik the special forces chose to switch to the HK 416, but then the US Army decided, that the special forces have to use the M4 instead of the M416. According to this source (link), the AWG (Asymmetric Warfare Group) Games: This rifle is called "M416" in Battlefield Bad Company 2 (it says, this is a combination of the M4 carabine and the ...

It's a clone of the Chinese CQ assault rifle.Image submitted by Cypher3 (http://military.wikia.com/wiki/Khaybar_KH2002).

Old rifle from WWII. Most players already saw it in one of the World War 2 games. I have no idea, why DICE chose to put this ancient rifle in Battlefield Bad Company 2 :(.

The M16 is one of the rifles that is used by a lot games. In fact it is a pretty old weapon (see below), and more and more it is preplaced by the M4 carabine.   Deutsche Artikel: Gewehr M16 A2 (23 Photos) und M-16 Sturmgewehr The M16 assault rifle was developed after the Korean war. In 1963 the M16 A1 was manufactured, but it had some serious difficulties:1) it was not very reliable in a muddy environment 2) if a soldier used a fully filled magazin, bullets often got stuck3) a lo soldiers called it a "toy rifle" because the butt stock was made with plastic The different versions are:M16 A1: 5.56mm, full auto fireM16 A2: 7.62x51mm, stronger rifle, 3-round bursts onlyM16 A3: used only by US Navy, 7.62mm, semi and full auto fireM16 A4: mixture between M4 and M16A2, using standard mounts Clones/copies and variants: AR-15 (Colt Models 601 & 602) XM16E1 and M16A1 (Colt Model 603) M16A2 M16A3 M16A4 Colt Model 655 and 656 "Sniper" variants XM177 Colt Model 733 M ...

Normally we don't list WWII rifles here... but somehow Dice decided to put this ancient rifle in Battlefield Bad Company 2.

In Call Of Duty 7: Black Ops this weapon is called "Commando", do not mix this with the SIG551 Commando.

M4 SOPMOD (Special Operations Peculiar Modification)

The QBZ-95 (also called Type 95) can use a 30 round magazine or a 75 round drum magazine.

The SG553 is a version of the SIG 550 assault rifle.The LB stands for the long barrel.

The SIG 551 Commando is a variant of the SIG 550 rifle. The changes are minimal, this si why we list both versions as one item here.

HBAR = Light Machine Gun Version

Reality vs Games: The XM8 series existed only as prototypes. Even though test results were sometimes a lot better than competing products, the US Army did not want it. Heckler & Koch continued the program for some time but stopped it finally. This rifle is not produced anywhere (afaik). grenade launcher cannot be attached Difference to XM8 The XM8C is the compact version of the XM8 assault rifle: shorter barrel (9" instead of 12") foldable stock grenade launcher cannot be attached Some games list it as a submachine gun, while others list it as an assault rifle.
