=Assault Rifles and Battle Rifles=
==5,56A-91==
The [[A-91|5,56A-91]] appears as "A-91" in the game. This designation is incorrect, as it refers to the 7.62x39mm version.
[[Image:A91.jpg|400px|thumb|none|5,56A-91 - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

[[Image:AKMRifle.jpg|thumb|400px|none|AKM - 7.62x39mm]]

==Enfield L22A1==
The [[Enfield L85 rifle series#L22#L22A1|Enfield L22A1]] can be seen during weapon selection. It is mislabelled as the "L22A2", possibly in reference to the fact that it is an improved version of the weapon featuring a MIL-STD-1913 sight rail, slightly lengthened barrel and handguard, and a [[Noveske Rifleworks rifle series|Noveske]] style flash hider.
[[Image:Sa80A2-l22a2.jpg|400px|thumb|none|L22A1 - 5.56x45mm]]

==Knight's Armament Company XM110 SASS==
The [[SR-25|XM110]] appears in the game as the "M110". This variant is distinguishable from the officially adopted M110 by the lack of a length-adjustable buttstock, a feature added during the rifle's transition from ''XM110'' to ''M110''.
[[Image:M110 ECP Right Bipod.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M110 SASS with Harris bipod, Leupold Mark 4 scope, and tan paint scheme - 7.62x51mm NATO. The XM110 lacked the length-adjustable buttstock.]]

''Battlefield 3'' (also known as ''BF3'') the is upcoming twelfth installment of the ''[[Battlefield|Battlefield series]]'', also the direct sequel to ''[[Battlefield 2]]'', which was released on June 21, 2005. The game is been developed by the Swedish company Digital Illusions CE (DICE) and will be published by Electronic Arts on October 25, 2011 in North-America, later in Australia on October 27th and on October 28th in Europe. One of the main features of the game is the new engine, the Frostbite 2, which bringing a large improvement from ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]]'s'' engine, and includes the graphics, sounds, animations, gameplay overall and much more. ''BF3'' is developed for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Battlefield 3'':'''
__TOC__ 

= Handguns =
== Beretta M9 ==
In the beginning of the single-player mission that was shown during gameplay footage, 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 in [[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]] and [[Medal of Honor (2010)|Medal of Honor]]'s multiplayer, the M9's magazine has 15 rounds + 1 in the chamber like in reality. An M9 fitted with a suppressor can be seen in the CO-OP trailer.

[[File:bf3m92.JPG|thumb|none|650px|M9 fitted with suppressor used by the player in co-op footage.]]

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

[[File:Grach.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Grach MP-443]]

== Glock 17 ==
The [[Glock#Glock 17|Glock 17]] is shown in an official screenshot for the Battlelog. Called "G17C" in the beta, although it is modeled after a standard Glock 17 as there are no compensator cuts on the top of the slide and comes standard with a laser sight.
[[Image:Glock173rdGen.jpg|thumb|none|350px|A Generation 3 Glock 17 - 9x19mm]]

[[File:Glock bf3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Glock]]

== M45 MEU(SOC) ==
The modern USMC variant of the [[M1911]]. The [[M1911#M-45 MEUSOC|M45]] can be used if the player is a Battlefield Veteran, or a member of the EA Gun Club. It is a standard M1911A1 with a three-hole trigger, commander-style hammer, beavertail grip safety, rubber grips, and uses 8 round magazines.
[[Image:M-45 MEU(SOC).jpg|thumb|none|350px|M45 MEU(SOC) - .45 ACP. Not the exact model in-game.]]

== Beretta 93R ==
The [[Beretta 93R]] can be unlocked a sidearm, and is correctly named "93R", while most games seem to call it the "M93R", which is incorrect.
[[Image:Beretta93-1-.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta 93R - 9x19mm]]

== Glock 18 ==
The [[Glock 18]] appears as the "G18". It has an extended magazine base that gives it a 19 round capacity, and also has a non-removable laser sight.
[[Image:Glock18c_01-1-.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Glock 18C (3rd Generation) - 9x19mm. The model in-game is not a "C" model.]]

== MP-412 REX ==
The [[MP-412 REX|MP-412]] revolver returns from Bad Company and Bad Company 2 as an unlockable sidearm.
[[Image:Mp-412-1.jpg|thumb|none|350px|MP-412 REX - .357 Magnum]]

== Taurus Model 44 ==
The [[Taurus Model 44]] appears as an unlockable sidearm, and can be fitted with a scope. Appears as "T44", one of the few weapons in game that does not go by its proper name, most likely due to legal reasons.
[[Image:Taurus 44.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Taurus Model 44 with 6" barrel - .44 Magnum]]

= Sub-Machine Guns =
Unlike previous games in the series, SMGs are all-kit unlockables, and not strictly limited to an Engineer/Spec Ops-type class.
== Heckler & Koch UMP45 ==
A detailed pick-up icon for the [[Heckler & Koch UMP#Heckler & Koch UMP|Heckler & Koch UMP45]] can be seen in GameSpot's recently released Tokyo Game Show gameplay footage.
[[Image:UMP_45.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch UMP45 - .45 ACP]]
[[Image:UMPBF45.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Pick-up icon for the UMP45.]]

== PP-2000 ==
The [[PP-2000]] comes standard with a 20 round magazine, with extended 40-round magazines as an option.
[[Image:Pp-2000.jpg|thumb|none|350px|PP-2000 with red dot sight - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Pp-2k.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PP-2000]]

[[Image:FN_P90_Triple_Rail_(TR).jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|FN P90TR - 5.7x28mm]]
[[Image:battp90.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Soldier wielding the FN P90TR. Notice that the magazine in the P90 is not locked inside the mechanism but inside the weapon itself(!). This is probably just a model error only within the alpha version of the game. It also appears to be a tad over-sized too.]]

== Heckler & Koch MP7A1 ==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP7|H&K MP7A1]] can be unlocked and used by any kit, and can also be equipped with 40 round magazines, as opposed to the 20 round standard.
[[Image:MP7 40rdmag.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch MP7A1 with Zeiss Z-Point red dot sight and 40-round magazine - 4.6x30mm]]

= Assault Rifles & Battle Rifles =

== Colt M4/M4A1 ==
The [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 Carbine]] is commonly seen in gameplay footage which is also in the hands of the main character. During the alpha stages footage, the in-game M4A1 can be seen fitted with iron sights, EOTech 551 Holographic sight, Trijicon TA01NSN 4x32 ACOG scope, Surefire Universal WeaponLight, AN/PEQ-2 laser designator, Magpul Ranger Plate, and a SOPMOD stock. Two different "reload-from-empty" animations have been seen. The "Fault Line" trailers had the player rack the charging handle, while in the more recent Operation Metro trailer, and the rest since then, the player uses the bolt release. It has been confirmed that both the M4A1 (full-auto) and M4 (3-round burst) will be available for use within the game. In multiplayer, the M4A1, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit, and is the starting weapon for US Engineers.

The [[AK-74#AKS-74U|AKS-74U]] has been seen in gameplay trailers, fitted with a SureFire Universal WeaponLight. In multiplayer, the AKS-74U, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit, and is the starting weapon for Russian Engineers.

[[File:Aks74u.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aks74u]]

== FN Mk 17 Mod 0 (SCAR-H CQC) ==
The FN Mk 17 Mod 0, or [[FN SCAR#FN SCAR-H|SCAR-H CQC]], can be seen in the new Caspian Border gameplay trailer. In multiplayer, the SCAR-H, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit. A modelling mistakes shows the fire selector switch set on semi-auto as the weapon itself fires on full-auto.
[[Image:2fff2537c0.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Third Generation Fabrique Nationale SCAR-H CQC - 7.62x51mm NATO.]]
[[Image:BF3Scar.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The player reloads his SCAR-H, fitted with a Trijicon RX01 reflex sight and RIS foregrip. Note that even though the weapon fires on full-auto, the fire selector switch is set on semi-auto.]]

== A-91 ==
The [[A-91]] appears and, being a carbine (or just a really short rifle), is used by the Engineer kit. It does not have its 40mm grenade launcher.
[[Image:A91.jpg|thumb|none|450px|5,56A-91 - 5.56x45mm]]

== Heckler & Koch G36C ==
A [[Heckler & Koch G36#Heckler & Koch G36C|Heckler & Koch G36C]] is briefly seen being used by one of the players in PAX coverage from NVIDIA. In multiplayer, the G36C, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit.
[[Image:G36CwForegrip.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch G36C with vertical foregrip - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Battlefield 3 Tourney PAX Prime Day 2 Wrap Up.mp4 000021722.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A teammate in front of player is seen using a G36C.]]

== SIG SG 553 ==
The [[SIG SG 550|SG 553]] has been confirmed by DICE in the official Battlefield Blog. In multiplayer, like the M4A1, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit.
[[File:SIG SG 553-2.jpg|thumb|none|450px|SIG SG 553 with railed handguard, vertical foregrip, flashlight, ACOG and 20-round factory magazine - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:Bf3sg553.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The render of the SG 553 showing the various attachments and combat roles available for the weapon.]]

== Colt M16A3/M16A4 ==
The [[M16 rifle series#M16A4 Rifle|M16A4 rifle]] was one of the first weapon to be shown on early gameplay footage, but was lacking rear iron sights and even optical sights because of the alpha stage development, though were added later on. It has been confirmed that both the M16A3 (full-auto) and M16A4 (3-round burst) will be available for use within the game. They have M16A1 flash hiders and a rail cover on the right side rail, and the fire selector is also always set to semi.
[[Image:M16A4withANPEQ&ACOG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|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|The Marine on the top middle of the screen is carrying an M16A4 during the briefing scene; note the lack of rear iron sight or even optical sight.]]
[[image:Eapwned_m16a4.jpg|600px|thumb|none|A demonstration of the character's movement animation, using an M16A4 with carrying handle attached. You can also note a Magpul attached to the magazine.]]
[[Image:M4nosight.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In this picture, it seems that the developers have removed the front gas block like in '''Call of Duty'''. So in this case, the rifle would not properly function like in reality. This has since been fixed by having the player co-witness the sights.]]

[[File:M16 ups.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M16 UPS]]

== AK-74M ==

The [[AK-74#AK-74|AK-74M]] has been seen in gameplay trailers.

[[File:Ak74m.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ak74M]]

== Heckler & Koch HK416 ==
The [[HK416]] returns from Bad Company and Bad Company 2 having a 10.4" barrel and OD furniture. It is the first unlock for the Assault kit and can have an M320 (which replaces the kit's Medkit) mounted as long as a grip or bipod are not. It once again appears as the "M416", most likely for copyright reasons. For some reason is has semi, auto, and three round burst firing modes, something that most Stoner platforms aren't capable of. (Korean M16 Clone is semi, burst, full.)

[[Image:Heckler and Koch 416.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch HK416 with 10 inch barrel - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
[[File:Hk416.jpg|thumb|none|600px|H&K HK416]]

== AEK-971 ==
The [[AEK-971]] is an unlock for the Assault kit, and, like the real weapon, has virtually no recoil.
[[Image:aek971_545.jpg|thumb|none|500px|AEK-971 (Current Model) with folding stock - 5.45x39mm]]

== FN F2000 Tactical ==
The [[FN F2000]] returns from the Bad Company series, and has much more realistic statistics, most notably that it doesn't have a fire rate resembling a minigun.
[[Image:FN_F2000_tactical.jpg|thumb|none|450px|FN F2000 Tactical with folding vertical foregrip - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

== AN-94 ==
The [[AN-94]] returns from the Bad Company series. The rifle's distinct dual-rate full-auto mode has been split into 2 distinct fire modes: An 1800RPM 2-round burst mode, and a 600RPM full-auto mode.
[[Image:Russian AN-94 Abakan Nikonov 5.45x39mm assault rifle 3.jpg|thumb|500px|none|AN-94 Abakan Nikonov - 5.45x39mm]]

== DIO KH2002 Khaybar ==
The Xbox 360 Operation Guillotine gameplay trailer shows a PLR militant using the DIO Khaybar (aka KH2002) assault rifle. The weapon is a bullpup conversion of the DIO S-5.56 assault rifle, which is a direct copy of the [[M16 rifle series#Norinco Model 311|Norinco CQ]] assault rifle. The KH2002 was put into service in 2004 as a replacement for the Iranian Military's obsolete G3A3. The model featured in the game is the improved model introduced in 2009, as noted by its longer carry handle and barrel mounted front sight.

Fun Fact: The rifle is named after "The Battle of Khaybar," where the Muslim Prophet Muhammad lead a victorious attack against a large settlement of Jews living in the Arabian settlement of Khaybar. Muhammad believed that the loot and prestige gained from Khaybar would be necessary in order to fund his future military campaigns.

[[File:KH2002_pick_up.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Detailed pick-up icon that definitively proves the Khaybar variant used in the game is the 2009 model.]]

== Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==
In the new "Securing the Apartment Block" gameplay footage that was recorded at the Tokyo Game Show, a pick-up icon for a [[Heckler & Koch G3#Heckler & Koch G3|G3A3]] can be seen. Since Battlefield 3 takes place (for the most part) in Northern Iraq and Iran, it is entirely possible that this is actually an Iranian manufactured G3 and not a standard H&K one. The Iranian-manufactured version differs in that it utilizes a slimline handguard and has Farsi writing on the receiver, whereas the version depicted appears to have a wide handguard.

[[File:G3a3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Heckler & Koch G3A3 with wide handguard - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:G3A3bf3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The detailed pick-up icon for the G3A3.]]

== AS Val ==
The [[AS Val]] appears as an all kit weapon, most likely due to its small size and unique integrated suppressor, making it too specialized for any specific kit.
[[Image:As val1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AS Val - 9x39mm]]

== Magpul PDR ==
The [[Magpul PDR]] appears as an all kit weapon, most likely because, other than firing the 5.56mm round, the gun is basically an SMG. For unknown reasons, it appears as the "PDW-R".
[[File:MagpulPDR.jpg|thumb|400px|left|frame|A more recent model of the Magpul PDR]]

= Machine Guns =
== Heckler & Koch M27 IAR ==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK rifle series#Heckler & Koch M27 IAR|Heckler & Koch M27 IAR]] is the starting weapon for the US support class, and uses a 45-round extended magazine.
[[Image:H&K M27 IAR.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Heckler & Koch M27 IAR - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
[[File:Iar+.jpg|thumb|none|600px|IAR]]

== FN M249 SAW ==
An [[FN Minimi#M249-E1 / M249-E2 / M249 Paratrooper SAW|M249 SAW]] was seen in E3 multiplayer footage. In the open beta, the STANAG magazine well can clearly be seen.

[[Image:Pecheneg.jpg|thumb|501px|none|PKP Pecheneg machine gun with ammo box - 7.62x54mm R]]
[[File:BF3-PKP.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]

== FN M240B ==
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 Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS). 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.

[[File:2401.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Full view of the M240B as seen in the recent Fault Line 3 trailer]]

== M60E4 ==
The [[M60E4]] is the last MG to be unlocked in the Support kit. Extended magazines gifts the weapon with a massive 200 round box and this is visually shown on the weapon when attached.
[[Image:M60E4-mk43.jpg|thumb|none|470px|M60E4 Mk.43 with picatinny rails, RIS foregrip, and ammo belt - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

== Norinco QJY-88 ==
The [[Norinco QJY-88]] returns from Bad Company 2, once again called the "Type 88". It appears in the material marketing the pre-order rewards.

[[Image:M-39EMR.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M39 Enhanced Marksman Rifle with Harris bipod - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

== Barrett M82A3 ==
The [[Barrett M107|M82A3]] (aka M107) is confirmed to be in the game, however, DICE felt that the .50 caliber round it uses would either be overpowered if depicted properly, or feel useless if kept balanced, so they opted to simply not have it multiplayer.

= Shotguns =
For the first time in a main Battlefield series game (excluding spinoffs like [[Battlefield Play4Free]]), shotguns can be iron-sighted. They can also be used in every kit, like the SMGs.
== M26 MASS ==
The [[M26 MASS]] can be mounted on any of the assault rifles in the Assault kit. It can fire buckshot, flechettes, frag rounds, or slugs, same as the other shotguns.
[[Image:XM26 2 highRes.jpg|thumb|none|470px|M26 MASS - 12 Gauge, mounted on [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 carbine]] with C-More red dot sight - 5.56x45mm]]

== Remington 870 MCS ==
The [[Remington 870|Remington 870 MCS]] appears as the "870 MCS" in the beta. The player characters pump the shotgun right immediately after fire and very quickly, which makes it seem almost semi-automatic in the game, like a pump action combat shotgun should be. It should be noted that when the extended magazine attachment is equipped, the magazine tube on the in game model changes from the 4+1 round model to the 6+1 round model.
[[Image:Rem870mcs 14.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Remington 870 MCS Entry version - 12 Gauge]]

== Benelli M1014 ==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90|Benelli M1014]] features semi-automatic firing and its tactical stock fully retracted during gameplay. Also featured pretty decent range as opposed to other games which force the player to see the whites in the enemies eyes to make a shotgun barely effective. Should also be noted the reload animation shows the player loading the first round into the breach first, then loading the remaining shells underneath shotgun. Magazine capacities available are either the civilian legal 4+1, or the full-length 6+1 (Indicating the use of 3-inch magnum rounds. The full-length tube normally holds seven 2.75-inch rounds)
[[Image:M4Super90.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Benelli M4 Super 90 with 7-shot tube - 12 Gauge]]

== Saiga 12K ==
The [[Izhmash Saiga series shotgun|Saiga 12K]] returns from ''Battlefield 2'' and is the second semi-auto shotgun unlocked. Magazine capacities are either the standard 5+1, or an extended 8+1.
[[Image:Saiga 12k-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Saiga-12K - 12 Gauge]]

== 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:XM320 stock extended.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch M320 with optional telescoping stock - 40x46mm]]

== GP-30 ==
Interestingly, if the M320 is mounted to a Russian weapon, it instead becomes a [[GP-30]], though the name is not mentioned.
[[Image:Gp-30 ak-74.jpg|thumb|none|500px|GP-30 40mm grenade launcher mounted on an [[AK-74]] (5.45x39mm)]]

The [[SA-18 Igla|SA-18 Grouse]] appears as the Russian Engineer's anti-air launcher. Oddly, in game it is named "SA-18 Igla", using the US designation for the weapon, but the Russian nickname.
[[Image:Igla 191.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SA-18 Grouse (9K38 Igla) launcher and missile - 72mm]]

== FGM-148 Javelin ==
The [[FGM-148 Javelin|Javelin]] appears and can be used in either top-down or direct-fire modes.
[[Image:Javalin.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FGM-148 Javelin - 127mm]]

== 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. As of the Beta it has not been seen in Multiplayer at all.

== M15 Anti-Tank mine ==
The [[M15 anti-tank mine|M15 Anti-Tank mine]] can be used by the Engineet kit.

[[Image:BF2 DSHK 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The player mans a technical-mounted Kord heavy machine gun.]]

== Browning M2HB ==
The [[Browning M2#Browning M2 Heavy Barrel|Browning M2HB heavy machine gun]] appears in the game mounted on vehicles, including M1A2 Abrams tanks.

[[Image:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Browning M2HB heavy machine gun in vehicle mount - .50 BMG]]

== FN M240C ==
The [[FN MAG#M240 Machine Gun|M240C machine gun]] is most likely being co-axially mounted on the M1A2 Abrams MBT.

[[Image:M134.JPG|thumb|none|450px|General Electric M134 - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

[[Image:M242 25mm gun.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M242 Bushmaster chaingun - 25mm]]

== Mk 19 ==
The [[Mk 19 grenade launcher]] is seen mounted on M1114 Humvees.

The game is been developed by the Swedish company Digital Illusions CE (DICE) and will be published by Electronic Arts on October 25, 2011 in North-America, later in Australia on October 27th and on October 28th in Europe.

''BF3'' is developed for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Battlefield 3'':'''
__TOC__ 

= Handguns =
== Beretta M9 ==
In the beginning of the single-player mission that was shown during gameplay footage, 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 in [[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]] and [[Medal of Honor (2010)|Medal of Honor]]'s multiplayer, the M9's magazine has 15 rounds + 1 in the chamber like in reality. An M9 fitted with a suppressor can be seen in the CO-OP trailer.
[[Image:M9-pistolet.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta M9 - 9x19mm.]]
[[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 U.S. Marine is inaccurately shown to have a U.S. Flag Patch on his sleeve. In reality, U.S. Marines do not wear flag or unit patches on their sleeves.]]
[[File:BF3-M9.jpg|thumb|none|650px|M9 being reload by the player in multiplayer footage.]]
[[File:bf3m92.JPG|thumb|none|650px|M9 fitted with suppressor used by the player in co-op footage.]]

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

== Glock 17 ==
The [[Glock#Glock 17|Glock 17]] is shown in an official screenshot for the Battlelog. Called "G17C" in the beta, although it is modeled after a standard Glock 17 as there are no compensator cuts on the top of the slide and comes standard with a laser sight.
[[Image:Glock173rdGen.jpg|thumb|none|350px|A Generation 3 Glock 17 - 9x19mm]]

== Beretta 93R ==
The [[Beretta 93R]] can be unlocked a sidearm, and is correctly named "93R", while most games seem to call it the "M93R", which is incorrect.
[[Image:Beretta93-1-.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta 93R - 9x19mm]]

== Glock 18 ==
The [[Glock 18]] appears as the "G18". It has an extended magazine base that gives it a 19 round capacity, and also has a non-removable laser sight.
[[Image:Glock18c_01-1-.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Glock 18C (3rd Generation) - 9x19mm. The model in-game is not a "C" model.]]

== Taurus Model 44 ==
The [[Taurus Model 44]] appears as an unlockable sidearm, and can be fitted with a scope. Appears as "T44", one of the few weapons in game that does not go by its proper name, most likely due to legal reasons.
[[Image:Taurus 44.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Taurus Model 44 with 6" barrel - .44 Magnum]]

= Sub-Machine Guns =
Unlike previous games in the series, SMGs are all-kit unlockables, and not strictly limited to an Engineer/Spec Ops-type class.

[[Image:battp90.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Soldier wielding the FN P90TR. Notice that the magazine in the P90 is not locked inside the mechanism but inside the weapon itself(!). This is probably just a model error only within the alpha version of the game. It also appears to be a tad over-sized too.]]

== Heckler & Koch MP7A1 ==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP7|H&K MP7A1]] can be unlocked and used by any kit, and can also be equipped with 40 round magazines, as opposed to the 20 round standard.

The [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 Carbine]] is commonly seen in gameplay footage which is also in the hands of the main character.

Two different "reload-from-empty" animations have been seen. The "Fault Line" trailers had the player rack the charging handle, while in the more recent Operation Metro trailer, and the rest since then, the player uses the bolt release. It has been confirmed that both the M4A1 (full-auto) and M4 (3-round burst) will be available for use within the game. In multiplayer, the M4A1, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit, and is the starting weapon for US Engineers.

[[Image:2fff2537c0.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Third Generation Fabrique Nationale SCAR-H CQC - 7.62x51mm NATO.]]
[[Image:BF3Scar.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The player reloads his SCAR-H, fitted with a Trijicon RX01 reflex sight and RIS foregrip. Note that even though the weapon fires on full-auto, the fire selector switch is set on semi-auto.]]

== Colt M16A3/M16A4 ==
The [[M16 rifle series#M16A4 Rifle|M16A4 rifle]] was one of the first weapon to be shown on early gameplay footage, but was lacking rear iron sights and even optical sights because of the alpha stage development, though were added later on. It has been confirmed that both the M16A3 (full-auto) and M16A4 (3-round burst) will be available for use within the game. They have M16A1 flash hiders and a rail cover on the right side rail, and the fire selector is also always set to semi.

[[image:Eapwned_m16a4.jpg|600px|thumb|none|A demonstration of the character's movement animation, using an M16A4 with carrying handle attached. You can also note a Magpul attached to the magazine.]]
[[Image:M4nosight.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In this picture, it seems that the developers have removed the front gas block like in '''Call of Duty'''. So in this case, the rifle would not properly function like in reality. This has since been fixed by having the player co-witness the sights.]]

== AK-74M ==

The [[AK-74#AK-74|AK-74M]] has been seen in gameplay trailers.

== Heckler & Koch HK416 ==
The [[HK416]] returns from Bad Company and Bad Company 2 having a 10.4" barrel and OD furniture. It is the first unlock for the Assault kit and can have an M320 (which replaces the kit's Medkit) mounted as long as a grip or bipod are not. It once again appears as the "M416", most likely for copyright reasons. For some reason is has semi, auto, and three round burst firing modes, something that most Stoner platforms aren't capable of. (Korean M16 Clone is semi, burst, full.)

[[Image:aek971_545.jpg|thumb|none|500px|AEK-971 (Current Model) with folding stock - 5.45x39mm]]

== FN F2000 Tactical ==
The [[FN F2000]] returns from the Bad Company series, and has much more realistic statistics, most notably that it doesn't have a fire rate resembling a minigun.

The [[AN-94]] returns from the Bad Company series. The rifle's distinct dual-rate full-auto mode has been split into 2 distinct fire modes: An 1800RPM 2-round burst mode, and a 600RPM full-auto mode.

== DIO KH2002 Khaybar ==
The Xbox 360 Operation Guillotine gameplay trailer shows a PLR militant using the DIO Khaybar (aka KH2002) assault rifle. The weapon is a bullpup conversion of the DIO S-5.56 assault rifle, which is a direct copy of the [[M16 rifle series#Norinco Model 311|Norinco CQ]] assault rifle. The KH2002 was put into service in 2004 as a replacement for the Iranian Military's obsolete G3A3. The model featured in the game is the improved model introduced in 2009, as noted by its longer carry handle and barrel mounted front sight.

Fun Fact: The rifle is named after "The Battle of Khaybar," where the Muslim Prophet Muhammad lead a victorious attack against a large settlement of Jews living in the Arabian settlement of Khaybar. Muhammad believed that the loot and prestige gained from Khaybar would be necessary in order to fund his future military campaigns.

[[File:KH2002_pick_up.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Detailed pick-up icon that definitively proves the Khaybar variant used in the game is the 2009 model.]]

== Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==
In the new "Securing the Apartment Block" gameplay footage that was recorded at the Tokyo Game Show, a pick-up icon for a [[Heckler & Koch G3#Heckler & Koch G3|G3A3]] can be seen. Since Battlefield 3 takes place (for the most part) in Northern Iraq and Iran, it is entirely possible that this is actually an Iranian manufactured G3 and not a standard H&K one. The Iranian-manufactured version differs in that it utilizes a slimline handguard and has Farsi writing on the receiver, whereas the version depicted appears to have a wide handguard.

[[File:G3A3bf3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The detailed pick-up icon for the G3A3.]]

== AS Val ==
The [[AS Val]] appears as an all kit weapon, most likely due to its small size and unique integrated suppressor, making it too specialized for any specific kit.
[[Image:As val1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AS Val - 9x39mm]]

== Magpul PDR ==
The [[Magpul PDR]] appears as an all kit weapon, most likely because, other than firing the 5.56mm round, the gun is basically an SMG. For unknown reasons, it appears as the "PDW-R".
[[File:MagpulPDR.jpg|400px|left|frame|A more recent model of the Magpul PDR]]

= Machine Guns =
== Heckler & Koch M27 IAR ==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK rifle series#Heckler & Koch M27 IAR|Heckler & Koch M27 IAR]] is the starting weapon for the US support class, and uses a 45-round extended magazine.

== FN M240B ==
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 Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS). 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.

== Barrett M98B ==

[[Image:M-39EMR.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M39 Enhanced Marksman Rifle with Harris bipod - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

== Barrett M82A3 ==
The [[Barrett M107|M82A3]] (aka M107) is confirmed to be in the game, however, DICE felt that the .50 caliber round it uses would either be overpowered if depicted properly, or feel useless if kept balanced, so they opted to simply not have it multiplayer.

[[Image:Berrett M107.jpg|thumb|none|550px|Barrett M82A3 (aka M107) long range sniper rifle - .50 BMG.]]

= Shotguns =
For the first time in a main Battlefield series game (excluding spinoffs like [[Battlefield Play4Free]]), shotguns can be iron-sighted. They can also be used in every kit, like the SMGs.
== M26 MASS ==
The [[M26 MASS]] can be mounted on any of the assault rifles in the Assault kit. It can fire buckshot, flechettes, frag rounds, or slugs, same as the other shotguns.
[[Image:XM26 2 highRes.jpg|thumb|none|470px|M26 MASS - 12 Gauge, mounted on [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 carbine]] with C-More red dot sight - 5.56x45mm]]

== Remington 870 MCS ==
The [[Remington 870|Remington 870 MCS]] appears as the "870 MCS" in the beta. The player characters pump the shotgun right immediately after fire and very quickly, which makes it seem almost semi-automatic in the game, like a pump action combat shotgun should be. It should be noted that when the extended magazine attachment is equipped, the magazine tube on the in game model changes from the 4+1 round model to the 6+1 round model.
[[Image:Rem870mcs 14.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Remington 870 MCS Entry version - 12 Gauge]]

[[File:870.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Remington 870 MCS as seen in the open beta.]]

== Benelli M1014 ==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90|Benelli M1014]] features semi-automatic firing and its tactical stock fully retracted during gameplay. Also featured pretty decent range as opposed to other games which force the player to see the whites in the enemies eyes to make a shotgun barely effective. Should also be noted the reload animation shows the player loading the first round into the breach first, then loading the remaining shells underneath shotgun. Magazine capacities available are either the civilian legal 4+1, or the full-length 6+1 (Indicating the use of 3-inch magnum rounds. The full-length tube normally holds seven 2.75-inch rounds)
[[Image:M4Super90.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Benelli M4 Super 90 with 7-shot tube - 12 Gauge]]

== Saiga 12K ==
The [[Izhmash Saiga series shotgun|Saiga 12K]] returns from ''Battlefield 2'' and is the second semi-auto shotgun unlocked. Magazine capacities are either the standard 5+1, or an extended 8+1.
[[Image:Saiga 12k-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Saiga-12K - 12 Gauge]]

== 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]]

[[Image:XM320 stock extended.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch M320 with optional telescoping stock - 40x46mm]]

== GP-30 ==
Interestingly, if the M320 is mounted to a Russian weapon, it instead becomes a [[GP-30]], though the name is not mentioned.
[[Image:Gp-30 ak-74.jpg|thumb|none|500px|GP-30 40mm grenade launcher mounted on an [[AK-74]] (5.45x39mm)]]

[[Image:-0976t.jpg|thumb|none|500px|FIM-92A Stinger - 70mm]]

== SA-18 Grouse (9K38 Igla) ==
The [[SA-18 Igla|SA-18 Grouse]] appears as the Russian Engineer's anti-air launcher. Oddly, in game it is named "SA-18 Igla", using the US designation for the weapon, but the Russian nickname.
[[Image:Igla 191.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SA-18 Grouse (9K38 Igla) launcher and missile - 72mm]]

== FGM-148 Javelin ==
The [[FGM-148 Javelin|Javelin]] appears and can be used in either top-down or direct-fire modes.
[[Image:Javalin.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FGM-148 Javelin - 127mm]]

== 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. As of the Beta it has not been seen in Multiplayer at all.
[[Image:AT-4Launcher.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|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.]]

= Explosives =
== M67 Hand Grenade ==
During the first encounter, the player is throwing [[M67 hand grenade]]s at PLR militants. In multiplayer, every kit gets one as standard, but can equip more by using the "FRAG" specialization.
[[Image:Baseball.jpg|thumb|none|250px|M67 hand grenade]]

== M15 Anti-Tank mine ==
The [[M15 anti-tank mine|M15 Anti-Tank mine]] can be used by the Engineet kit.

[[Image:BF2 DSHK 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The player mans a technical-mounted Kord heavy machine gun.]]

== Browning M2HB ==
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.
[[Image:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Browning M2HB heavy machine gun in vehicle mount - .50 BMG]]

== FN M240C ==
The [[FN MAG#M240 Machine Gun|M240C machine gun]] is most likely being co-axially mounted on the M1A2 Abrams MBT.
[[Image:M240C.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M240C machine gun - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

== PKT ==

[[Image:M134.JPG|thumb|none|450px|General Electric M134 - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

[[Image:M242 25mm gun.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M242 Bushmaster chaingun - 25mm]]

== Mk 19 ==
The [[Mk 19 grenade launcher]] is seen mounted on M1114 Humvees.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Battlefield 3'':'''
__TOC__ 

= Handguns =
== Beretta M9 ==
In the beginning of the single-player mission that was shown during gameplay footage, 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 in [[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]] and [[Medal of Honor (2010)|Medal of Honor]]'s multiplayer, the M9's magazine has 15 rounds + 1 in the chamber like in reality. An M9 fitted with a suppressor can be seen in the CO-OP trailer.
[[Image:M9-pistolet.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta M9 - 9x19mm.]]
[[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 U.S. Marine is inaccurately shown to have a U.S. Flag Patch on his sleeve. In reality, U.S. Marines do not wear flag or unit patches on their sleeves.]]

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

== Glock 17 ==
The [[Glock#Glock 17|Glock 17]] is shown in an official screenshot for the Battlelog. Called "G17C" in the beta, although it is modeled after a standard Glock 17 as there are no compensator cuts on the top of the slide and comes standard with a laser sight.
[[Image:Glock173rdGen.jpg|thumb|none|350px|A Generation 3 Glock 17 - 9x19mm]]

[[File:Glock bf3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Glock]]

== M45 MEU(SOC) ==
The modern USMC variant of the [[M1911]]. The [[M1911#M-45 MEUSOC|M45]] can be used if the player is a Battlefield Veteran, or a member of the EA Gun Club. It is a standard M1911A1 with a three-hole trigger, commander-style hammer, beavertail grip safety, rubber grips, and uses 8 round magazines.
[[Image:M-45 MEU(SOC).jpg|thumb|none|350px|M45 MEU(SOC) - .45 ACP. Not the exact model in-game.]]

== Beretta 93R ==
The [[Beretta 93R]] can be unlocked a sidearm, and is correctly named "93R", while most games seem to call it the "M93R", which is incorrect.
[[Image:Beretta93-1-.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta 93R - 9x19mm]]

== Glock 18 ==
The [[Glock 18]] appears as the "G18". It has an extended magazine base that gives it a 19 round capacity, and also has a non-removable laser sight.
[[Image:Glock18c_01-1-.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Glock 18C (3rd Generation) - 9x19mm. The model in-game is not a "C" model.]]

== MP-412 REX ==
The [[MP-412 REX|MP-412]] revolver returns from Bad Company and Bad Company 2 as an unlockable sidearm.
[[Image:Mp-412-1.jpg|thumb|none|350px|MP-412 REX - .357 Magnum]]

== Taurus Model 44 ==
The [[Taurus Model 44]] appears as an unlockable sidearm, and can be fitted with a scope. Appears as "T44", one of the few weapons in game that does not go by its proper name, most likely due to legal reasons.
[[Image:Taurus 44.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Taurus Model 44 with 6" barrel - .44 Magnum]]

= Sub-Machine Guns =
Unlike previous games in the series, SMGs are all-kit unlockables, and not strictly limited to an Engineer/Spec Ops-type class.
== Heckler & Koch UMP45 ==
A detailed pick-up icon for the [[Heckler & Koch UMP#Heckler & Koch UMP|Heckler & Koch UMP45]] can be seen in GameSpot's recently released Tokyo Game Show gameplay footage.
[[Image:UMP_45.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch UMP45 - .45 ACP]]
[[Image:UMPBF45.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Pick-up icon for the UMP45.]]

== PP-2000 ==
The [[PP-2000]] comes standard with a 20 round magazine, with extended 40-round magazines as an option.
[[Image:Pp-2000.jpg|thumb|none|350px|PP-2000 with red dot sight - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Pp-2k.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PP-2000]]

== FN P90TR ==
An [[FN P90#P90 TR|FN P90TR (Triple Rail)]] can be seen in E3 coverage from IGN. It can be used by any kit once unlocked.
[[Image:FN_P90_Triple_Rail_(TR).jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|FN P90TR - 5.7x28mm]]

== Heckler & Koch MP7A1 ==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP7|H&K MP7A1]] can be unlocked and used by any kit, and can also be equipped with 40 round magazines, as opposed to the 20 round standard.

== Colt M4/M4A1 ==
The [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 Carbine]] is commonly seen in gameplay footage which is also in the hands of the main character. During the alpha stages footage, the in-game M4A1 can be seen fitted with iron sights, EOTech 551 Holographic sight, Trijicon TA01NSN 4x32 ACOG scope, Surefire Universal WeaponLight, AN/PEQ-2 laser designator, Magpul Ranger Plate, and a SOPMOD stock. Two different "reload-from-empty" animations have been seen. The "Fault Line" trailers had the player rack the charging handle, while in the more recent Operation Metro trailer, and the rest since then, the player uses the bolt release. It has been confirmed that both the M4A1 (full-auto) and M4 (3-round burst) will be available for use within the game. In multiplayer, the M4A1, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit, and is the starting weapon for US Engineers.

The FN Mk 17 Mod 0, or [[FN SCAR#FN SCAR-H|SCAR-H CQC]], can be seen in the new Caspian Border gameplay trailer. In multiplayer, the SCAR-H, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit. A modelling mistakes shows the fire selector switch set on semi-auto as the weapon itself fires on full-auto.

== A-91 ==
The [[A-91]] appears and, being a carbine (or just a really short rifle), is used by the Engineer kit. It does not have its 40mm grenade launcher.
[[Image:A91.jpg|thumb|none|450px|5,56A-91 - 5.56x45mm]]

== Heckler & Koch G36C ==
A [[Heckler & Koch G36#Heckler & Koch G36C|Heckler & Koch G36C]] is briefly seen being used by one of the players in PAX coverage from NVIDIA. In multiplayer, the G36C, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit.

== SIG SG 553 ==
The [[SIG SG 550|SG 553]] has been confirmed by DICE in the official Battlefield Blog. In multiplayer, like the M4A1, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit.

== Colt M16A3/M16A4 ==
The [[M16 rifle series#M16A4 Rifle|M16A4 rifle]] was one of the first weapon to be shown on early gameplay footage, but was lacking rear iron sights and even optical sights because of the alpha stage development, though were added later on. It has been confirmed that both the M16A3 (full-auto) and M16A4 (3-round burst) will be available for use within the game. They have M16A1 flash hiders and a rail cover on the right side rail, and the fire selector is also always set to semi.

== Heckler & Koch HK416 ==
The [[HK416]] returns from Bad Company and Bad Company 2 having a 10.4" barrel and OD furniture. It is the first unlock for the Assault kit and can have an M320 (which replaces the kit's Medkit) mounted as long as a grip or bipod are not. It once again appears as the "M416", most likely for copyright reasons. For some reason is has semi, auto, and three round burst firing modes, something that most Stoner platforms aren't capable of. (Korean M16 Clone is semi, burst, full.)

[[Image:aek971_545.jpg|thumb|none|500px|AEK-971 (Current Model) with folding stock - 5.45x39mm]]

== FN F2000 Tactical ==
The [[FN F2000]] returns from the Bad Company series, and has much more realistic statistics, most notably that it doesn't have a fire rate resembling a minigun.
[[Image:FN_F2000_tactical.jpg|thumb|none|450px|FN F2000 Tactical with folding vertical foregrip - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

== AN-94 ==
The [[AN-94]] returns from the Bad Company series. The rifle's distinct dual-rate full-auto mode has been split into 2 distinct fire modes: An 1800RPM 2-round burst mode, and a 600RPM full-auto mode.

== DIO KH2002 Khaybar ==
The Xbox 360 Operation Guillotine gameplay trailer shows a PLR militant using the DIO Khaybar (aka KH2002) assault rifle. The weapon is a bullpup conversion of the DIO S-5.56 assault rifle, which is a direct copy of the [[M16 rifle series#Norinco Model 311|Norinco CQ]] assault rifle. The KH2002 was put into service in 2004 as a replacement for the Iranian Military's obsolete G3A3. The model featured in the game is the improved model introduced in 2009, as noted by its longer carry handle and barrel mounted front sight.

Fun Fact: The rifle is named after "The Battle of Khaybar," where the Muslim Prophet Muhammad lead a victorious attack against a large settlement of Jews living in the Arabian settlement of Khaybar. Muhammad believed that the loot and prestige gained from Khaybar would be necessary in order to fund his future military campaigns.

[[File:KH2002_pick_up.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Detailed pick-up icon that definitively proves the Khaybar variant used in the game is the 2009 model.]]

== Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==
In the new "Securing the Apartment Block" gameplay footage that was recorded at the Tokyo Game Show, a pick-up icon for a [[Heckler & Koch G3#Heckler & Koch G3|G3A3]] can be seen. Since Battlefield 3 takes place (for the most part) in Northern Iraq and Iran, it is entirely possible that this is actually an Iranian manufactured G3 and not a standard H&K one. The Iranian-manufactured version differs in that it utilizes a slimline handguard and has Farsi writing on the receiver, whereas the version depicted appears to have a wide handguard.

[[File:G3a3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Heckler & Koch G3A3 with wide handguard - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:G3A3bf3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The detailed pick-up icon for the G3A3.]]

== AS Val ==
The [[AS Val]] appears as an all kit weapon, most likely due to its small size and unique integrated suppressor, making it too specialized for any specific kit.
[[Image:As val1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AS Val - 9x39mm]]

== Magpul PDR ==
The [[Magpul PDR]] appears as an all kit weapon, most likely because, other than firing the 5.56mm round, the gun is basically an SMG. For unknown reasons, it appears as the "PDW-R".
[[File:MagpulPDR.jpg|frame|A more recent model of the Magpul PDR]]

= Machine Guns =
== Heckler & Koch M27 IAR ==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK rifle series#Heckler & Koch M27 IAR|Heckler & Koch M27 IAR]] is the starting weapon for the US support class, and uses a 45-round extended magazine.

== FN M240B ==
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 Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS). 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:M-39EMR.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M39 Enhanced Marksman Rifle with Harris bipod - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

== Barrett M82A3 ==
The [[Barrett M107|M82A3]] (aka M107) is confirmed to be in the game, however, DICE felt that the .50 caliber round it uses would either be overpowered if depicted properly, or feel useless if kept balanced, so they opted to simply not have it multiplayer.

[[Image:Berrett M107.jpg|thumb|none|550px|Barrett M82A3 (aka M107) long range sniper rifle - .50 BMG.]]

= Shotguns =
For the first time in a main Battlefield series game (excluding spinoffs like [[Battlefield Play4Free]]), shotguns can be iron-sighted. They can also be used in every kit, like the SMGs.
== M26 MASS ==
The [[M26 MASS]] can be mounted on any of the assault rifles in the Assault kit. It can fire buckshot, flechettes, frag rounds, or slugs, same as the other shotguns.
[[Image:XM26 2 highRes.jpg|thumb|none|470px|M26 MASS - 12 Gauge, mounted on [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 carbine]] with C-More red dot sight - 5.56x45mm]]

== Remington 870 MCS ==
The [[Remington 870|Remington 870 MCS]] appears as the "870 MCS" in the beta. The player characters pump the shotgun right immediately after fire and very quickly, which makes it seem almost semi-automatic in the game, like a pump action combat shotgun should be. It should be noted that when the extended magazine attachment is equipped, the magazine tube on the in game model changes from the 4+1 round model to the 6+1 round model.
[[Image:Rem870mcs 14.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Remington 870 MCS Entry version - 12 Gauge]]

== Benelli M1014 ==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90|Benelli M1014]] features semi-automatic firing and its tactical stock fully retracted during gameplay. Also featured pretty decent range as opposed to other games which force the player to see the whites in the enemies eyes to make a shotgun barely effective. Should also be noted the reload animation shows the player loading the first round into the breach first, then loading the remaining shells underneath shotgun. Magazine capacities available are either the civilian legal 4+1, or the full-length 6+1 (Indicating the use of 3-inch magnum rounds. The full-length tube normally holds seven 2.75-inch rounds)
[[Image:M4Super90.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Benelli M4 Super 90 with 7-shot tube - 12 Gauge]]

== Saiga 12K ==
The [[Izhmash Saiga series shotgun|Saiga 12K]] returns from ''Battlefield 2'' and is the second semi-auto shotgun unlocked. Magazine capacities are either the standard 5+1, or an extended 8+1.
[[Image:Saiga 12k-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Saiga-12K - 12 Gauge]]

== 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.

== 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. As of the Beta it has not been seen in Multiplayer at all.

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.

''Battlefield 3'' (also known as ''BF3'') the is upcoming twelfth installment of the ''[[Battlefield|Battlefield series]]'', also the direct sequel to ''[[Battlefield 2]]'', which was released on June 21, 2005. The game is been developed by the Swedish company Digital Illusions CE (DICE) and will be published by Electronic Arts on October 25, 2011 in North-America, later in Australia on October 27th and on October 28th in Europe. One of the main features of the game is the new engine, the Frostbite 2, which bringing a large improvement from ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]]'s'' engine, and includes the graphics, sounds, animations, gameplay overall and much more. ''BF3'' is developed for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Battlefield 3'':'''
__TOC__ 

= Handguns =
== Beretta M9 ==
In the beginning of the single-player mission that was shown during gameplay footage, 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 in [[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]] and [[Medal of Honor (2010)|Medal of Honor]]'s multiplayer, the M9's magazine has 15 rounds + 1 in the chamber like in reality. An M9 fitted with a suppressor can be seen in the CO-OP trailer.

[[File:bf3m92.JPG|thumb|none|650px|M9 fitted with suppressor used by the player in co-op footage.]]

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

== Glock 17 ==
The [[Glock#Glock 17|Glock 17]] is shown in an official screenshot for the Battlelog. Called "G17C" in the beta, although it is modeled after a standard Glock 17 as there are no compensator cuts on the top of the slide and comes standard with a laser sight.

[[File:Glock bf3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Glock]]

== M45 MEU(SOC) ==
The modern USMC variant of the [[M1911]]. The [[M1911#M-45 MEUSOC|M45]] can be used if the player is a Battlefield Veteran, or a member of the EA Gun Club. It is a standard M1911A1 with a three-hole trigger, commander-style hammer, beavertail grip safety, rubber grips, and uses 8 round magazines.
[[Image:M-45 MEU(SOC).jpg|thumb|none|350px|M45 MEU(SOC) - .45 ACP. Not the exact model in-game.]]

== Beretta 93R ==
The [[Beretta 93R]] can be unlocked a sidearm, and is correctly named "93R", while most games seem to call it the "M93R", which is incorrect.
[[Image:Beretta93-1-.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta 93R - 9x19mm]]

== Glock 18 ==
The [[Glock 18]] appears as the "G18". It has an extended magazine base that gives it a 19 round capacity, and also has a non-removable laser sight.
[[Image:Glock18c_01-1-.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Glock 18C (3rd Generation) - 9x19mm. The model in-game is not a "C" model.]]

== MP-412 REX ==
The [[MP-412 REX|MP-412]] revolver returns from Bad Company and Bad Company 2 as an unlockable sidearm.
[[Image:Mp-412-1.jpg|thumb|none|350px|MP-412 REX - .357 Magnum]]

== Taurus Model 44 ==
The [[Taurus Model 44]] appears as an unlockable sidearm, and can be fitted with a scope. Appears as "T44", one of the few weapons in game that does not go by its proper name, most likely due to legal reasons.
[[Image:Taurus 44.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Taurus Model 44 with 6" barrel - .44 Magnum]]

= Sub-Machine Guns =
Unlike previous games in the series, SMGs are all-kit unlockables, and not strictly limited to an Engineer/Spec Ops-type class.
== Heckler & Koch UMP45 ==
A detailed pick-up icon for the [[Heckler & Koch UMP#Heckler & Koch UMP|Heckler & Koch UMP45]] can be seen in GameSpot's recently released Tokyo Game Show gameplay footage.
[[Image:UMP_45.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch UMP45 - .45 ACP]]
[[Image:UMPBF45.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Pick-up icon for the UMP45.]]

== PP-2000 ==
The [[PP-2000]] comes standard with a 20 round magazine, with extended 40-round magazines as an option.
[[Image:Pp-2000.jpg|thumb|none|350px|PP-2000 with red dot sight - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Pp-2k.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PP-2000]]

[[Image:FN_P90_Triple_Rail_(TR).jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|FN P90TR - 5.7x28mm]]
[[Image:battp90.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Soldier wielding the FN P90TR. Notice that the magazine in the P90 is not locked inside the mechanism but inside the weapon itself(!). This is probably just a model error only within the alpha version of the game. It also appears to be a tad over-sized too.]]

== Heckler & Koch MP7A1 ==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP7|H&K MP7A1]] can be unlocked and used by any kit, and can also be equipped with 40 round magazines, as opposed to the 20 round standard.
[[Image:MP7 40rdmag.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch MP7A1 with Zeiss Z-Point red dot sight and 40-round magazine - 4.6x30mm]]

= Assault Rifles & Battle Rifles =

== Colt M4/M4A1 ==
The [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 Carbine]] is commonly seen in gameplay footage which is also in the hands of the main character. During the alpha stages footage, the in-game M4A1 can be seen fitted with iron sights, EOTech 551 Holographic sight, Trijicon TA01NSN 4x32 ACOG scope, Surefire Universal WeaponLight, AN/PEQ-2 laser designator, Magpul Ranger Plate, and a SOPMOD stock. Two different "reload-from-empty" animations have been seen. The "Fault Line" trailers had the player rack the charging handle, while in the more recent Operation Metro trailer, and the rest since then, the player uses the bolt release. It has been confirmed that both the M4A1 (full-auto) and M4 (3-round burst) will be available for use within the game. In multiplayer, the M4A1, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit, and is the starting weapon for US Engineers.

The [[AK-74#AKS-74U|AKS-74U]] has been seen in gameplay trailers, fitted with a SureFire Universal WeaponLight. In multiplayer, the AKS-74U, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit, and is the starting weapon for Russian Engineers.

== FN Mk 17 Mod 0 (SCAR-H CQC) ==
The FN Mk 17 Mod 0, or [[FN SCAR#FN SCAR-H|SCAR-H CQC]], can be seen in the new Caspian Border gameplay trailer. In multiplayer, the SCAR-H, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit. A modelling mistakes shows the fire selector switch set on semi-auto as the weapon itself fires on full-auto.
[[Image:2fff2537c0.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Third Generation Fabrique Nationale SCAR-H CQC - 7.62x51mm NATO.]]
[[Image:BF3Scar.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The player reloads his SCAR-H, fitted with a Trijicon RX01 reflex sight and RIS foregrip. Note that even though the weapon fires on full-auto, the fire selector switch is set on semi-auto.]]

== A-91 ==
The [[A-91]] appears and, being a carbine (or just a really short rifle), is used by the Engineer kit. It does not have its 40mm grenade launcher.
[[Image:A91.jpg|thumb|none|450px|5,56A-91 - 5.56x45mm]]

== Heckler & Koch G36C ==
A [[Heckler & Koch G36#Heckler & Koch G36C|Heckler & Koch G36C]] is briefly seen being used by one of the players in PAX coverage from NVIDIA. In multiplayer, the G36C, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit.
[[Image:G36CwForegrip.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch G36C with vertical foregrip - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Battlefield 3 Tourney PAX Prime Day 2 Wrap Up.mp4 000021722.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A teammate in front of player is seen using a G36C.]]

== SIG SG 553 ==
The [[SIG SG 550|SG 553]] has been confirmed by DICE in the official Battlefield Blog. In multiplayer, like the M4A1, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit.
[[File:SIG SG 553-2.jpg|thumb|none|450px|SIG SG 553 with railed handguard, vertical foregrip, flashlight, ACOG and 20-round factory magazine - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:Bf3sg553.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The render of the SG 553 showing the various attachments and combat roles available for the weapon.]]

== Colt M16A3/M16A4 ==
The [[M16 rifle series#M16A4 Rifle|M16A4 rifle]] was one of the first weapon to be shown on early gameplay footage, but was lacking rear iron sights and even optical sights because of the alpha stage development, though were added later on. It has been confirmed that both the M16A3 (full-auto) and M16A4 (3-round burst) will be available for use within the game. They have M16A1 flash hiders and a rail cover on the right side rail, and the fire selector is also always set to semi.
[[Image:M16A4withANPEQ&ACOG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|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|The Marine on the top middle of the screen is carrying an M16A4 during the briefing scene; note the lack of rear iron sight or even optical sight.]]
[[image:Eapwned_m16a4.jpg|600px|thumb|none|A demonstration of the character's movement animation, using an M16A4 with carrying handle attached. You can also note a Magpul attached to the magazine.]]
[[Image:M4nosight.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In this picture, it seems that the developers have removed the front gas block like in '''Call of Duty'''. So in this case, the rifle would not properly function like in reality. This has since been fixed by having the player co-witness the sights.]]

[[File:M16 ups.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M16 UPS]]

== AK-74M ==

The [[AK-74#AK-74|AK-74M]] has been seen in gameplay trailers.

[[File:Ak74m.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ak74M]]

== Heckler & Koch HK416 ==
The [[HK416]] returns from Bad Company and Bad Company 2 having a 10.4" barrel and OD furniture. It is the first unlock for the Assault kit and can have an M320 (which replaces the kit's Medkit) mounted as long as a grip or bipod are not. It once again appears as the "M416", most likely for copyright reasons. For some reason is has semi, auto, and three round burst firing modes, something that most Stoner platforms aren't capable of. (Korean M16 Clone is semi, burst, full.)

[[Image:Heckler and Koch 416.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch HK416 with 10 inch barrel - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
[[File:Hk416.jpg|thumb|none|600px|H&K HK416]]

== AEK-971 ==
The [[AEK-971]] is an unlock for the Assault kit, and, like the real weapon, has virtually no recoil.
[[Image:aek971_545.jpg|thumb|none|500px|AEK-971 (Current Model) with folding stock - 5.45x39mm]]

== FN F2000 Tactical ==
The [[FN F2000]] returns from the Bad Company series, and has much more realistic statistics, most notably that it doesn't have a fire rate resembling a minigun.
[[Image:FN_F2000_tactical.jpg|thumb|none|450px|FN F2000 Tactical with folding vertical foregrip - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

== AN-94 ==
The [[AN-94]] returns from the Bad Company series. The rifle's distinct dual-rate full-auto mode has been split into 2 distinct fire modes: An 1800RPM 2-round burst mode, and a 600RPM full-auto mode.
[[Image:Russian AN-94 Abakan Nikonov 5.45x39mm assault rifle 3.jpg|thumb|500px|none|AN-94 Abakan Nikonov - 5.45x39mm]]

== DIO KH2002 Khaybar ==
The Xbox 360 Operation Guillotine gameplay trailer shows a PLR militant using the DIO Khaybar (aka KH2002) assault rifle. The weapon is a bullpup conversion of the DIO S-5.56 assault rifle, which is a direct copy of the [[M16 rifle series#Norinco Model 311|Norinco CQ]] assault rifle. The KH2002 was put into service in 2004 as a replacement for the Iranian Military's obsolete G3A3. The model featured in the game is the improved model introduced in 2009, as noted by its longer carry handle and barrel mounted front sight.

Fun Fact: The rifle is named after "The Battle of Khaybar," where the Muslim Prophet Muhammad lead a victorious attack against a large settlement of Jews living in the Arabian settlement of Khaybar. Muhammad believed that the loot and prestige gained from Khaybar would be necessary in order to fund his future military campaigns.

[[File:KH2002_pick_up.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Detailed pick-up icon that definitively proves the Khaybar variant used in the game is the 2009 model.]]

== Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==
In the new "Securing the Apartment Block" gameplay footage that was recorded at the Tokyo Game Show, a pick-up icon for a [[Heckler & Koch G3#Heckler & Koch G3|G3A3]] can be seen. Since Battlefield 3 takes place (for the most part) in Northern Iraq and Iran, it is entirely possible that this is actually an Iranian manufactured G3 and not a standard H&K one. The Iranian-manufactured version differs in that it utilizes a slimline handguard and has Farsi writing on the receiver, whereas the version depicted appears to have a wide handguard.

[[File:G3a3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Heckler & Koch G3A3 with wide handguard - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:G3A3bf3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The detailed pick-up icon for the G3A3.]]

== AS Val ==
The [[AS Val]] appears as an all kit weapon, most likely due to its small size and unique integrated suppressor, making it too specialized for any specific kit.
[[Image:As val1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AS Val - 9x39mm]]

== Magpul PDR ==
The [[Magpul PDR]] appears as an all kit weapon, most likely because, other than firing the 5.56mm round, the gun is basically an SMG. For unknown reasons, it appears as the "PDW-R".
[[File:MagpulPDR.jpg]]

= Machine Guns =
== Heckler & Koch M27 IAR ==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK rifle series#Heckler & Koch M27 IAR|Heckler & Koch M27 IAR]] is the starting weapon for the US support class, and uses a 45-round extended magazine.
[[Image:H&K M27 IAR.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Heckler & Koch M27 IAR - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
[[File:Iar+.jpg|thumb|none|600px|IAR]]

== Kalashnikov RPK-74M ==

== FN M249 SAW ==
An [[FN Minimi#M249-E1 / M249-E2 / M249 Paratrooper SAW|M249 SAW]] was seen in E3 multiplayer footage. In the open beta, the STANAG magazine well can clearly be seen.

[[Image:Pecheneg.jpg|thumb|501px|none|PKP Pecheneg machine gun with ammo box - 7.62x54mm R]]
[[File:BF3-PKP.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]

== FN M240B ==
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 Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS). 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.

== M60E4 ==
The [[M60E4]] is the last MG to be unlocked in the Support kit. Extended magazines gifts the weapon with a massive 200 round box and this is visually shown on the weapon when attached.
[[Image:M60E4-mk43.jpg|thumb|none|470px|M60E4 Mk.43 with picatinny rails, RIS foregrip, and ammo belt - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

== Norinco QJY-88 ==
The [[Norinco QJY-88]] returns from Bad Company 2, once again called the "Type 88". It appears in the material marketing the pre-order rewards.

== Barrett M82A3 ==
The [[Barrett M107|M82A3]] (aka M107) is confirmed to be in the game, however, DICE felt that the .50 caliber round it uses would either be overpowered if depicted properly, or feel useless if kept balanced, so they opted to simply not have it multiplayer.

For the first time in a main Battlefield series game (excluding spinoffs like [[Battlefield Play4Free]]), shotguns can be iron-sighted. They can also be used in every kit, like the SMGs.
== M26 MASS ==
The [[M26 MASS]] can be mounted on any of the assault rifles in the Assault kit. It can fire buckshot, flechettes, frag rounds, or slugs, same as the other shotguns.
[[Image:XM26 2 highRes.jpg|thumb|none|470px|M26 MASS - 12 Gauge, mounted on [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 carbine]] with C-More red dot sight - 5.56x45mm]]

== Remington 870 MCS ==
The [[Remington 870|Remington 870 MCS]] appears as the "870 MCS" in the beta. The player characters pump the shotgun right immediately after fire and very quickly, which makes it seem almost semi-automatic in the game, like a pump action combat shotgun should be. It should be noted that when the extended magazine attachment is equipped, the magazine tube on the in game model changes from the 4+1 round model to the 6+1 round model.

== Benelli M1014 ==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90|Benelli M1014]] features semi-automatic firing and its tactical stock fully retracted during gameplay. Also featured pretty decent range as opposed to other games which force the player to see the whites in the enemies eyes to make a shotgun barely effective. Should also be noted the reload animation shows the player loading the first round into the breach first, then loading the remaining shells underneath shotgun. Magazine capacities available are either the civilian legal 4+1, or the full-length 6+1 (Indicating the use of 3-inch magnum rounds. The full-length tube normally holds seven 2.75-inch rounds)
[[Image:M4Super90.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Benelli M4 Super 90 with 7-shot tube - 12 Gauge]]

== Saiga 12K ==
The [[Izhmash Saiga series shotgun|Saiga 12K]] returns from ''Battlefield 2'' and is the second semi-auto shotgun unlocked. Magazine capacities are either the standard 5+1, or an extended 8+1.
[[Image:Saiga 12k-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Saiga-12K - 12 Gauge]]

== 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:XM320 stock extended.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch M320 with optional telescoping stock - 40x46mm]]

== GP-30 ==
Interestingly, if the M320 is mounted to a Russian weapon, it instead becomes a [[GP-30]], though the name is not mentioned.
[[Image:Gp-30 ak-74.jpg|thumb|none|500px|GP-30 40mm grenade launcher mounted on an [[AK-74]] (5.45x39mm)]]

The [[SA-18 Igla|SA-18 Grouse]] appears as the Russian Engineer's anti-air launcher. Oddly, in game it is named "SA-18 Igla", using the US designation for the weapon, but the Russian nickname.
[[Image:Igla 191.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SA-18 Grouse (9K38 Igla) launcher and missile - 72mm]]

[[Image:Javalin.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FGM-148 Javelin - 127mm]]

== 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. As of the Beta it has not been seen in Multiplayer at all.

== Browning M2HB ==
The [[Browning M2#Browning M2 Heavy Barrel|Browning M2HB heavy machine gun]] appears in the game mounted on vehicles, including M1A2 Abrams tanks.

[[Image:M134.JPG|thumb|none|450px|General Electric M134 - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

[[Image:M242 25mm gun.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M242 Bushmaster chaingun - 25mm]]

== Mk 19 ==
The [[Mk 19 grenade launcher]] is seen mounted on M1114 Humvees.

The game is been developed by the Swedish company Digital Illusions CE (DICE) and will be published by Electronic Arts on October 25, 2011 in North-America, later in Australia on October 27th and on October 28th in Europe.

''BF3'' is developed for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Battlefield 3'':'''
__TOC__ 

= Handguns =
== Beretta M9 ==
In the beginning of the single-player mission that was shown during gameplay footage, 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 in [[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]] and [[Medal of Honor (2010)|Medal of Honor]]'s multiplayer, the M9's magazine has 15 rounds + 1 in the chamber like in reality. An M9 fitted with a suppressor can be seen in the CO-OP trailer.
[[Image:M9-pistolet.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta M9 - 9x19mm.]]
[[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 U.S. Marine is inaccurately shown to have a U.S. Flag Patch on his sleeve. In reality, U.S. Marines do not wear flag or unit patches on their sleeves.]]

[[File:bf3m92.JPG|thumb|none|650px|M9 fitted with suppressor used by the player in co-op footage.]]

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

== Glock 17 ==
The [[Glock#Glock 17|Glock 17]] is shown in an official screenshot for the Battlelog. Called "G17C" in the beta, although it is modeled after a standard Glock 17 as there are no compensator cuts on the top of the slide and comes standard with a laser sight.
[[Image:Glock173rdGen.jpg|thumb|none|350px|A Generation 3 Glock 17 - 9x19mm]]

== Beretta 93R ==
The [[Beretta 93R]] can be unlocked a sidearm, and is correctly named "93R", while most games seem to call it the "M93R", which is incorrect.
[[Image:Beretta93-1-.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta 93R - 9x19mm]]

== Glock 18 ==
The [[Glock 18]] appears as the "G18". It has an extended magazine base that gives it a 19 round capacity, and also has a non-removable laser sight.
[[Image:Glock18c_01-1-.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Glock 18C (3rd Generation) - 9x19mm. The model in-game is not a "C" model.]]

== Taurus Model 44 ==
The [[Taurus Model 44]] appears as an unlockable sidearm, and can be fitted with a scope. Appears as "T44", one of the few weapons in game that does not go by its proper name, most likely due to legal reasons.

[[Image:UMP_45.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch UMP45 - .45 ACP]]
[[Image:UMPBF45.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Pick-up icon for the UMP45.]]

[[Image:battp90.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Soldier wielding the FN P90TR. Notice that the magazine in the P90 is not locked inside the mechanism but inside the weapon itself(!). This is probably just a model error only within the alpha version of the game. It also appears to be a tad over-sized too.]]

== Heckler & Koch MP7A1 ==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP7|H&K MP7A1]] can be unlocked and used by any kit, and can also be equipped with 40 round magazines, as opposed to the 20 round standard.

Two different "reload-from-empty" animations have been seen. The "Fault Line" trailers had the player rack the charging handle, while in the more recent Operation Metro trailer, and the rest since then, the player uses the bolt release. It has been confirmed that both the M4A1 (full-auto) and M4 (3-round burst) will be available for use within the game. In multiplayer, the M4A1, being a carbine, is used by the 'Engineer' kit, and is the starting weapon for US Engineers.

The [[M16 rifle series#M16A4 Rifle|M16A4 rifle]] was one of the first weapon to be shown on early gameplay footage, but was lacking rear iron sights and even optical sights because of the alpha stage development, though were added later on. It has been confirmed that both the M16A3 (full-auto) and M16A4 (3-round burst) will be available for use within the game. They have M16A1 flash hiders and a rail cover on the right side rail, and the fire selector is also always set to semi.
[[Image:M16A4withANPEQ&ACOG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|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:Eapwned_m16a4.jpg|600px|thumb|none|A demonstration of the character's movement animation, using an M16A4 with carrying handle attached. You can also note a Magpul attached to the magazine.]]
[[Image:M4nosight.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In this picture, it seems that the developers have removed the front gas block like in '''Call of Duty'''. So in this case, the rifle would not properly function like in reality. This has since been fixed by having the player co-witness the sights.]]

[[File:M16 ups.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M16 UPS]]

== AK-74M ==

The [[AK-74#AK-74|AK-74M]] has been seen in gameplay trailers.

== Heckler & Koch HK416 ==
The [[HK416]] returns from Bad Company and Bad Company 2 having a 10.4" barrel and OD furniture. It is the first unlock for the Assault kit and can have an M320 (which replaces the kit's Medkit) mounted as long as a grip or bipod are not. It once again appears as the "M416", most likely for copyright reasons. For some reason is has semi, auto, and three round burst firing modes, something that most Stoner platforms aren't capable of. (Korean M16 Clone is semi, burst, full.)

[[Image:Heckler and Koch 416.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch HK416 with 10 inch barrel - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
[[File:Hk416.jpg|thumb|none|600px|H&K HK416]]

== AEK-971 ==
The [[AEK-971]] is an unlock for the Assault kit, and, like the real weapon, has virtually no recoil.
[[Image:aek971_545.jpg|thumb|none|500px|AEK-971 (Current Model) with folding stock - 5.45x39mm]]

== FN F2000 Tactical ==
The [[FN F2000]] returns from the Bad Company series, and has much more realistic statistics, most notably that it doesn't have a fire rate resembling a minigun.
[[Image:FN_F2000_tactical.jpg|thumb|none|450px|FN F2000 Tactical with folding vertical foregrip - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

== AN-94 ==
The [[AN-94]] returns from the Bad Company series. The rifle's distinct dual-rate full-auto mode has been split into 2 distinct fire modes: An 1800RPM 2-round burst mode, and a 600RPM full-auto mode.
[[Image:Russian AN-94 Abakan Nikonov 5.45x39mm assault rifle 3.jpg|thumb|500px|none|AN-94 Abakan Nikonov - 5.45x39mm]]

== DIO KH2002 Khaybar ==
The Xbox 360 Operation Guillotine gameplay trailer shows a PLR militant using the DIO Khaybar (aka KH2002) assault rifle. The weapon is a bullpup conversion of the DIO S-5.56 assault rifle, which is a direct copy of the [[M16 rifle series#Norinco Model 311|Norinco CQ]] assault rifle. The KH2002 was put into service in 2004 as a replacement for the Iranian Military's obsolete G3A3. The model featured in the game is the improved model introduced in 2009, as noted by its longer carry handle and barrel mounted front sight.

Fun Fact: The rifle is named after "The Battle of Khaybar," where the Muslim Prophet Muhammad lead a victorious attack against a large settlement of Jews living in the Arabian settlement of Khaybar. Muhammad believed that the loot and prestige gained from Khaybar would be necessary in order to fund his future military campaigns.

== Heckler & Koch G3A3 ==
In the new "Securing the Apartment Block" gameplay footage that was recorded at the Tokyo Game Show, a pick-up icon for a [[Heckler & Koch G3#Heckler & Koch G3|G3A3]] can be seen. Since Battlefield 3 takes place (for the most part) in Northern Iraq and Iran, it is entirely possible that this is actually an Iranian manufactured G3 and not a standard H&K one. The Iranian-manufactured version differs in that it utilizes a slimline handguard and has Farsi writing on the receiver, whereas the version depicted appears to have a wide handguard.

== AS Val ==
The [[AS Val]] appears as an all kit weapon, most likely due to its small size and unique integrated suppressor, making it too specialized for any specific kit.
[[Image:As val1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AS Val - 9x39mm]]

== Magpul PDR ==
The [[Magpul PDR]] appears as an all kit weapon, most likely because, other than firing the 5.56mm round, the gun is basically an SMG. For unknown reasons, it appears as the "PDW-R".
[[File:http://images.wikia.com/deadliestfiction/images/c/c1/MagpulPDR.jpg]]

== FN M240B ==
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 Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS).

[[Image:M-39EMR.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M39 Enhanced Marksman Rifle with Harris bipod - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

== Barrett M82A3 ==
The [[Barrett M107|M82A3]] (aka M107) is confirmed to be in the game, however, DICE felt that the .50 caliber round it uses would either be overpowered if depicted properly, or feel useless if kept balanced, so they opted to simply not have it multiplayer.

[[Image:Berrett M107.jpg|thumb|none|550px|Barrett M82A3 (aka M107) long range sniper rifle - .50 BMG.]]

= Shotguns =
For the first time in a main Battlefield series game (excluding spinoffs like [[Battlefield Play4Free]]), shotguns can be iron-sighted. They can also be used in every kit, like the SMGs.
== M26 MASS ==
The [[M26 MASS]] can be mounted on any of the assault rifles in the Assault kit. It can fire buckshot, flechettes, frag rounds, or slugs, same as the other shotguns.
[[Image:XM26 2 highRes.jpg|thumb|none|470px|M26 MASS - 12 Gauge, mounted on [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 carbine]] with C-More red dot sight - 5.56x45mm]]

== Remington 870 MCS ==
The [[Remington 870|Remington 870 MCS]] appears as the "870 MCS" in the beta. The player characters pump the shotgun right immediately after fire and very quickly, which makes it seem almost semi-automatic in the game, like a pump action combat shotgun should be. It should be noted that when the extended magazine attachment is equipped, the magazine tube on the in game model changes from the 4+1 round model to the 6+1 round model.
[[Image:Rem870mcs 14.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Remington 870 MCS Entry version - 12 Gauge]]

[[File:870.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Remington 870 MCS as seen in the open beta.]]

== Benelli M1014 ==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90|Benelli M1014]] features semi-automatic firing and its tactical stock fully retracted during gameplay. Also featured pretty decent range as opposed to other games which force the player to see the whites in the enemies eyes to make a shotgun barely effective. Should also be noted the reload animation shows the player loading the first round into the breach first, then loading the remaining shells underneath shotgun. Magazine capacities available are either the civilian legal 4+1, or the full-length 6+1 (Indicating the use of 3-inch magnum rounds. The full-length tube normally holds seven 2.75-inch rounds)
[[Image:M4Super90.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Benelli M4 Super 90 with 7-shot tube - 12 Gauge]]

== Saiga 12K ==
The [[Izhmash Saiga series shotgun|Saiga 12K]] returns from ''Battlefield 2'' and is the second semi-auto shotgun unlocked. Magazine capacities are either the standard 5+1, or an extended 8+1.
[[Image:Saiga 12k-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Saiga-12K - 12 Gauge]]

== 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]]

== GP-30 ==
Interestingly, if the M320 is mounted to a Russian weapon, it instead becomes a [[GP-30]], though the name is not mentioned.
[[Image:Gp-30 ak-74.jpg|thumb|none|500px|GP-30 40mm grenade launcher mounted on an [[AK-74]] (5.45x39mm)]]

[[Image:Igla 191.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SA-18 Grouse (9K38 Igla) launcher and missile - 72mm]]

== FGM-148 Javelin ==
The [[FGM-148 Javelin|Javelin]] appears and can be used in either top-down or direct-fire modes.
[[Image:Javalin.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FGM-148 Javelin - 127mm]]

== 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. As of the Beta it has not been seen in Multiplayer at all.

== Browning M2HB ==
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.
[[Image:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Browning M2HB heavy machine gun in vehicle mount - .50 BMG]]

The [[Mk 19 grenade launcher]] is seen mounted on M1114 Humvees.
