An emplacement gun used to shoot down enemy aircraft.
Assault Rifle refers to a basic design of a weapon that combines the abilities of older long-range rifles and the rapid fire of sub-machine guns. Common designs include the M-16, M-4, AK47 (and 74), and the L85A1.
Shotguns that can fire semi or fully automatically
A popular weapon that is used in many shooters. The flamethrower is considered one of the most unique ways to defeat a foe.
A Gatling gun is a machine gun that uses multiple rotating barrels to rapidly fire bullets. Commonly mounted on vehicles or gunships, some larger characters may carry a hand held version.
A grenade is an explosive device traditionally thrown by hand, but may also be propelled by a rifle or launcher.
A Jeep is usually a 4x4 vehicle equipped with a mounted machine gun, it is best used as a transport vehicle.
A laser is a focused beam of light, invisible through the air without some other medium (such as smoke) to illuminate it. Lasers are often used in video games as part of a targeting system, or as an offensive weapon in their own right.
A heavy machine gun designed towards the end of World War I. A version of it is still used today. It uses .50 BMG rounds.
The M249 SAW is the US Military's primary man-portable light machine gun.
The M4 Carbine is a popular firearm in video games and a standard infantry weapon for the U.S. military, and many law enforcement agencies.
Machine guns, generally, are heavier weapons with a rapid rate of fire. To quote the Quake manual, they "eat ammo like popcorn."
Mechs (or Mecha) are humanoid-like pilot driven vehicles often depicted in media as a combat machine. Early examples of Mech/Mecha in video games are often derived from early manga and anime as well as table-top games.
An explosive ordinance propelled by a rocket engine designed to blow an object to smithereens. A missile is often guided, in some way, to its target. For example; by laser, remote control, or computer/GPS.
A nuclear bomb is a device made up of fissionable materials (ie Uranium) and standard explosives. It creates a nuclear chain reaction, which release large amounts of radiation and a shockwave.
A pistol is a very basic hand-held side arm, usually used in case of low ammo or tricky situations. They have appeared in many types of games.
A mechanical lifeform, typically exhibiting superhuman abilities, that can be found in games as either the main protaganist or as powerful enemies or allies.
A weapon that launches rockets.
The most powerful weapon at short range. Effective against Zombies, Nazis, Demons, etc. Videogame shotguns tend to have exaggerated inaccuracy at long range- real life shotguns are still fairly accurate over a decent distance, while videogame shotguns rarely go more than fifteen feet before becoming completely ineffective.
The weapon of choice for accuracy at long distances. The sniper rifle's slow rate of fire makes it ineffective for close range combat, but its high calibre round ensures that it inflicts maximum damage against the target.
A large pole with a light at the top of it that illuminates streets and paths
A firearm capable of firing pistol ammunition automatically. Favored for shorter distances, or dealing death indoors.
A tank is generally a heavily armoured and armed, tracked vehicle designed to be at the front of a combined forces attack.
Technical trucks are basically civilian trucks or flatbeds that are converted into combat vehicles usually being equipped with some form of turret and added armor.
A gun turret is weapon mount designed to protect the user or mechanisms of a weapon system. The weapon itself is not a turret, but rather the protective housing of the user or mechanisms of the weapon system.
