__TOC__<br clear="all">

= Pistols =
== Beretta M9 ==
In the beginning of the new "Fault Line Episode 1" video, a Marine who is sitting in front of the player has a [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92F/FS|Beretta M9]] pistol holstered to his vest. It can also be seen in the multiplayer footage of E3 that the player is reloading his M9. Another note of interest is that unlike [[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]] and [[Medal of Honor]], the [[M9]]'s magazine has 15 rounds + 1 in the chamber).

[[Image:Bf3_pistol_m9.png|thumb|none|650px|A Beretta M9 holstered to a Marine's vest's is circled in red. Also note that the same US Marine is inaccurately shown to have a US Flag Patch on his sleeve. US Marines do not wear flag or unit patches.]]

== MP-443 Grach ==
The [[Yarygin_PYa#MP-443_Grach|MP-443]] apparently returns from Bad Company 2, as it's briefly visible in the multiplayer kill list in the "Operation Métro" trailer.

= Sub-machine Guns =
== FN P90TR ==
An [[FN P90#P90TR|FN P90TR (Triple Rail)]] can be seen in E3 coverage from IGN.

= Assault Rifles =
== M16A4 Rifle ==
The [[M16 rifle series#M16A4 Rifle|M16A4 rifle]] is shown during gameplay footage. In the early footage it has no rear iron sight. This is because the game was still in early alpha development.

[[Image:M16A4withANPEQ&ACOG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M16A4 MWS (Modular Weapon System) with RAS rails installed, AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, RIS foregrip, and Trijicon 4x32 ACOG scope - 5.56x45mm. This is the USMC style setup.]]
[[image:M16BF3Teaser.jpg|600px|thumb|none|One of the Marines on the top right is carrying what looks like an M16A4 during the briefing scene.]]
[[image:Eapwned_m16a4.jpg|600px|thumb|none|They appear to have put a carrying handle on it.]]
[[Image:M4nosight.jpg|thumb|none|600px| They seem to have removed the front gas block like in ''Call of Duty''. The rifle would not properly function like this in reality.]]

== M4A1 Carbine ==
The [[M4A1 Carbine]] is commonly seen in gameplay footage which is also in the hands of the main character. Because of the alpha stages, the in-game [[M4A1]] can be seen fitted with iron sights, EOtech 551 Holographic sight, Trijicon 4x32 ACOG scope, Surefire Universal Weaponlight, AN/PEQ-2 laser designator, Magpul Ranger Plate and an unknown stock (possibly a painted LE stock or Magpul CTR stock). Two different "reload-from-empty" animations currently exist. The "Fault Line" trailers had the player rack the charging handle, while the Operation Metro trailer, and the PS3 Fault Line gameplay from the June 16th, 2011 edition of Jimmy Fallon's Late Night show had the player use the bolt release button. Another thing to note, the M4 depicted in the Operation Metro trailer has full iron sights and has not been seen with an optic. Not to be mistaken with the M16A4 in the trailers, which is lacking a front sight post/gas block with the ACOG.

== M240B Machine Gun ==
The [[FN MAG#M240 Machine Gun|M240B]] appears in the hands of some U.S. Marines, and in the hands of the player, fitted with an EOtech 551 Holographic sight. The trailer shows the weapon as having a deployable bipod which can be used to increase accuracy during prolonged firing, at the cost of player mobility.

[[Image:M240-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M240B with newer style lower handguard (designed to attach RIS rails via hex nut) - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

==Mk. 46 Mod 0/M249 SAW==
The [[M249_SAW#Mk_46_Mod_0|Mk. 46 Mod 0]]/[[M249 SAW]] was seen in E3 multiplayer footage. Because of the sticking out rail on the top of the handguard, this likely to be the Mk. 46 Mod 0.

[[Image:Mk46.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Mk 46 Mod 0 light machine gun - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:BF3-M249.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mk. 46 Mod/M249 SAW used by the player in E3 multiplayer footage. Note the M145 ELCAN scope.]]

= Shotguns =

==Armsel Striker==
The [[Armsel_Striker_and_variants#Armsel_Striker|Armsel Striker]] is included, identifiable by the winding key on the front of the drum magazine. The weapon is referred to as the "DAO-12" in material advertising the game's pre-order rewards, as it was in [[Battlefield 2]]; this stands for "double action only, 12 gauge" and is a ''description'' of the weapon rather than a correct name for it.

[[Image:Striker.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Armsel Striker Shotgun - 12 gauge]]
[[File:BF3_DAO12_Warfare_Pack.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"DAO-12" pre-order image. Note the Picatinny rail added to the top of the receiver.]]

=Launchers=
==M136 AT4==
The [[M136 AT4]] appears in the hands of US Marines. In the trailer, it seems to have a pistol grip instead of having the trigger on the back of the weapon behind the sights.

[[Image:AT-4Launcher.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|M136 AT4 - 84mm]]
[[Image:BF3TeaserAT4.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|The M136 AT4 is in the hand of the player as the Marines are engaging a sniper hidden in the hotel room from the rooftop.]]

== Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun ==
The [[Browning M2#Browning M2 Heavy Barrel|Browning M2HB heavy machine gun]] appears in the game mounted on vehicles, including M1A2 Abrams tanks. The Abrams appear to be fitted with a remote mounting for the M2HB allowing the Commander to fire the weapon from inside the safety of the turret, a feature recently implemented on real-life M1A2's operating in Iraq.
