[Shifty-16AAB- 0]

Alright, we've seen the first videos and pics, now it's time to have a look at the choice of weapons in the game. So if anyone could list the guns, rifles, etc. that have been confirmed so far, i'd be very happy. Screenshots would be even better!!!

ak74

g36c

at4

Im not very apt at spotting american equipment correctly but I recall seeing a south sahrani soldier carrying a FN MAG and a US soldier sporting a FN Minimi.

[Messiah 2]

Yeah, you're right on those... althought given its likely to be yank equipment, then techinically the M240 and the M249. I'm also quite sure I spotted a PK in a few images too, as well as a HK MP5SD (or at least i think so - im crap at knowing what HK is what)

[Balschoiw 0]

PK

Yes.

One of our beta testers created a list of addon names for weapons/vehicles, should in theory be the same as the retail version, I uploaded them to my Box.net account http://www.box.net/public/mvt0t9qbqt

[Messiah 2]

this could always be put up on the Biki surely?

seems like an obvious place to me

Go do it then

could someone please comfirm the weapons uses for the grenades and satchels? At the moment I assumed its the same as in OFP, but please correct me if im wrong (I don't own arma). The article could also be expanded to include vehicle weapon and ammo names.

Its all there, i still cant believe there is no hind though, amongst some other stuff .

West rifles:

East rifles:

AK74

AK74GL

AKS74U

AKS74UN

PK

SVD

....

A vintorez, bizon and RPK would fit, and also properly configed 7.62 AK47's.

I think the G36's are Gerrilla/south Sahrani rifles... its obvious that FN Fal's and H&K G3's would make more sense..

[dm 9]

M16

M24

SVD Dragunov

SR 25

Its not an SR-25, its a Mk 12 Mod 0 SPR (which is a Navy/Marine Corps weapon)

Edit: oh, should read the rest of the thread first, but the point still stands. Its not an "M4 SPR" (tho it is based on the M4) the correct designation is Mk12 Mod 0

[KeyCat 131]

Thanks for the lists, been searching all over for this info!

Don't intend to moan but a bit sad the only prop plane is the Camel.... Would have prefered the Cessna with some cargo capabilities so I could finish my paradrop scripts now when we (supposedly) have steerable chutes.

Anyway, we can't have it all ( yet! ) ... I'm pretty sure someone will make some great prop planes as soon the tools are released to the public

thanks for the feedback!!! now we only need some pics of those weapons in game.

i wonder if all the ballistic data is still stricly attached to ammo in a config.

[ricnunes 0]

i still cant believe there is no hind though, amongst some other stuff .

Yeah me too! I really can't undestand why the Hind is missing!

And the most stupid thing is that there will be a Ka-50 for North Sahrani and not a Hind, specially when the Hind is a helo that was exported very extensivelly while the Ka-50 as not been exported yet (except for two helicopters that fought for the Ethiopian side during the Ethiopian-Eritrean conflict).

Hopefully, modders will add one.

Guess they wanted variation though hind would have made more sense from a gameplay and realism standpoint..

[sickboy 13]

Maybe the makers are more facinated by the KA-50 than by the Mi24 You Never know Altough after seeying Ffur2006/RHS/Scars Mi24 you wouldn't know why

[Commando84 0]

nice to know what weapons will be in arma, i wonder if Bis will add a few more in any pathces like they did with ofp and res

also btw keycat i can't wait to see how group link and other a.i scripts will work out in arma.

[DaSquade 0]

Thanks for this info (for those waiting for their copy).

Bit sad to see it doesn't have that much weapons, especially specific US Army ( or where it the marines now) in it.

Anyway, this gives us modders some room and work for adding new contence . Well glad to see my WIP weapons aren't in the list yet.

Maybe a bit offtopic: Maybe i'm wrong or i'm still on the speculation train, but how are the scopes now? I don't suppose 'proxy' scopes made it in ArmA? But afaik there was something new regarding sillenced and non-silenced (model and sound).

After 5 years of OFP and now ArmA i still wonder what the G36A/C/K are doing in those weapon list. Maybe i misted something, but that isn't a standard US riffle...feel free to shoot me (virtually), just wondering.

More offtopic ( maybe i misted a modelers topic or new modelers features of ArmA tread ), but any news regarding the magazines? Meaning, will it be possible to cfg or fill your mags ingame with a mix of normal and tracer bullets (especially like 3 tracers for last remaining bullets)? This was meantioned in the past (one of the many suggestions from the comunity). Also is the ammo (auto filling at reload) fixed now. Not saying it was a bug in OFP/VBS, but it was never my cup of tea, having 3 clips with 2-3 bullets, if you know what i mean.

And maybe most important, are animations possible on weapons now (reload, sight adjustments, ironsight, bipod etc). Guess i don't need to ask regarding the light/laser request...

Sorry for my Q's, but just some 'normal' questions a modeler is wondering about.

[Messiah 2]

the G36's are specifically for the South Sahrani Army i think... or at least thats how they're trying to play it.

[Big Dawg KS 6]

According to Placebo's list (well, my interpretation of it at least), most of the weapons accept both SD and regular mags (for those mags with SD versions available), including the SD weapons. M16s and M4s also share the same magazines, except the M16 doesn't accept SD mags, though the list might not represent the final version (I saw several things that were definatly WIP). And the M249 accepts all of the 5.56x45 STANAG mags as well as its own 200 round belt.

I hope the ACOG attachement is in the game. Nothing better for midrange engagements imho.

Guess they wanted variation though hind would have made more sense from a gameplay and realism standpoint..

What puzzles me the most in this decision is that BIS took the excelent decision to model the North Sahrani army as being an army equiped with relatively outdated equipment (or not so modern in term of latest equipment) in which its strenght is based on numbers so this lead to the decision to leave out weaponry such as the T-80 or T-90 MBTs or BMP-3s in which I agree at 100% with BIS and then (and what really puzzles me) BIS decides to put the Ka-50 which is an helo that wasn't operational during the USSR-era (and still isn't 100% operational) and which is one of the most modern gunship helicopter in the world in the place of the Mi-24 which is the backbone of the gunship force of almost every country that uses Russian made equipment. Well, I guess that's one of those weard and unexplainable decisions....
