American Weapons

Browning .30 Caliber M1919A6 Deployable Light Machine Gun

Range: Long
Rate of Fire: Very Fast
Damage: High
Mobility: Slow



The air-cooled M1919A6 was introduced as a lighter alternative to the monstrous, 93-pound water-cooled M1917. Weighing about 43 pounds with tripod, the M1919A6 was easier to transport with infantry units, as well as easier to mount on tanks. It was one of the most reliable weapons of the second World War.

2.36-in Rocket Launcher, M1A1 "Bazooka"

Range: Short
Rate of Fire: Slow
Damage: Very High
Mobility: Slow



One of the simplest, yet most effective, weapons in the United States arsenal, the Bazooka was little more than a steel tube fitted with wooden stocks for aiming and securing. Although GIs used bazookas to flush out pillboxes, blow lanes through minefields and even disable artillery, its claim to fame was as an anti-tank weapon. Its superiority in this regard prompted the Germans to copy its design after capturing examples of the M1 in Tunisia in 1943.

Russian Weapons

Tokarev SVT-40

Range: Long
Rate of Fire: Medium
Damage: High
Mobility: Fast



The Samozaryadnaya Vintovka Tokareva-40 ("Tokarev Self-Loading Rifle"), manufactured between 1941 and 1945, was a major upgrade from the standard Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifles of the Red Army. Though most Russian troops were ill-trained to use the reloading rifle effectively, German troops considered it a trophy weapon, prized for its accuracy and superior firepower.

Degtyarev-Pekhotny 28

Range: Long
Rate of Fire: Very Fast
Damage: High
Mobility: Fast



The 7.62 mm Ruchnoy Pulemyot Degtyaryova pakhotnyi ("Degtyarev Hand-held Infantry Machine Gun") was a paragon of simplicity and easy maintenance. Apart from a bipod which was prone to break if handled roughly, the DP-28 provided the Red Army with reliable and effective fire from its introduction in 1928 to the end of the War.

Tokarev TT-33

Range: Short
Rate of Fire: Medium
Damage: Moderate
Mobility: Very Fast



The Tokarev TT-33 became the standard pistol of the Red Army in 1933. It was an evolution of the American Colt-Browning automatic pistol, similar in design to the M1911. Russian engineers improved several aspects of the design, making it more reliable, easier to produce, and capable of withstanding a tremendous amount of abuse.

British Weapons

Silenced Sten Mk IIs

Range: Short
Rate of Fire: Very Fast
Damage: Moderate
Mobility: Very Fast



The Sten derives it name from its two designers, Major R.V. Shepherd and H.J. Turpin, and the place it was made, the Enfield Lock Small Arms Factory. In 1940, Britain found itself with a shortage of weapons, and Shepherd and Turpin's design proved simple, easy to manufacture and reliable in the field. More than a hundred thousand Sten Mk Is were produced, providing British troops with a lightweight, compact, easy-to-maintain machine gun. A limited number of Mk IIs models fitted with silencers were produced for SAS Commandos and raiding forces.

Webley Mk 4

Range: Short
Rate of Fire: Slow
Damage: High
Mobility: Very Fast



Used extensively through the armies of the British Commonwealth from 1939-1945, the Webley Mk 4 revolver was a simple, no frills combat revolver. Firing a smaller 0.38-inch round than the World War I-era Webley 0.455-inch pistol, the Mk 4 was lighter, easier to fire and required less training and practice to use. The Mk 4 is so popular it remains in service in various parts of the world to this day
