Note: Even though this is a real-time strategy game, guns can be seen during gameplay (requires good timing and camera skills) and in several cutscenes.

The following guns can be seen in the 2006 real-time strategy game and it's standalone expansion packs Company of Heroes:

























United States

M1A1 Carbine

The M1A1 Carbine appears as the standard issue for American Rifle squad leaders (denoted by their radios) and airborne troopers as well as artillery gun crews, though M1A1 Carbines were commonly issued to U.S. paratroopers, gun crews and squad leaders would carry a regular M1 Carbine in real life.

M1A1 Thompson

The M1A1 Thompson is used by a few soldiers in cutscenes only, mainly Captain John MacKay and Sgt. Conti. The Thompson is an upgrade for American Ranger squads. It also appears in the tutorial in the hands of the starting rifle squad (this is the only time a rifleman is seen carrying a Thompson).

M3 "Grease Gun"

The American engineers in the game use M3 "Grease Guns" as their primary weapon. The M3 "Grease Gun" is pretty weak due to the gun's short range, which makes it completely useless and leaves the engineers vulnerable.

M1 Garand

Many of the riflemen in the riflemen squads in the game use M1 Garands. Note that a Riflemen will fire faster at a shorter range.

Browning M2HB

The American Sherman tanks and M8 Greyhound armored cars have mounted Browning M2HBs. The P-47s in the game are seen firing a possible aircraft version of the Browning M2, since that most planes were armed with that at that time. If you upgrade your halftracks, you will have an M3 halftrack with 4 Browning M2s in quad mount.

Browning M1917

Despite being rarely issued to the U.S. Army during World War 2, the Browning M1917 appears as the main weapon for American gun emplacements and machine gun crews.

Browning M1919

The jeeps in the game are armed with Browning M1919s. The Shermans in-game also have one mounted in their hull. The Browning M1919 also has its infantry version in the game, which appears late in the game.

Browning M1918A2

In the game, the Browning M1918A2 appears as an upgrade to the riflemen squad's loadout. The upgrade replaces some of the riflemen's standard-issued M1 Garands and M1A1 Carbines with Browning M1918A2s. The Browning M1918A2 in-game causes more damage than the standard semi-automatic rifles, but its range is cut in half, making it only useful at short range.

Mk II Grenade

The riflemen and the airborne troops use Mk 2 hand grenades. Unlike most video games, they take longer to charge and explode since that the user must take them out and then pull the pin.

M2 Flamethrower

The M2 Flamethrower is available as an upgrade to the engineer's weapony, which gives an engineer an M2 Flamethrower. An interesting fact is that the M2 Flamethrower in-game has no front grip and the trigger is repositioned to the back grip.

M18 Smoke Grenade

M18 smoke grenades are used by U.S. airborne troopers and several ground troops. The smoke grenades can be also modified to be fired by M2 Mortars, vehicles, and be thrown by ground troops.

M18 Recoiless Rifle

Airborne troopers can be upgraded with M18 Recoilless Rifles. The M18 Recoiless Rifle is anachronistic as the M18 was developed near the end of World War 2 and it wouldn't be ready that fast for the Normandy invasion.

M1 Bazooka

U.S. Rangers squads are always seen with one Ranger with an M1 Bazookas (they can be picked up by other troops after the user is killed) and are inaccurately called "M9 Bazookas" in-game as the model in-game has an extra pistol grip and shoulder rest. The M1 Bazooka was replaced by the M1A1 Bazooka and the M9 and M9A1 Bazookas in 1944, making it inaccurate to be seen during the Normandy missions.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
M1 Bazooka - 2.36 inch

M2 Mortar

The M2 Mortars are used by U.S. mortar teams and British mortar teams. The one in-game can also fire smoke rounds, which helps conceal movement and cover the retreat for Allied troops.

Sticky Bombs

U.S. infantry troops have throwable sticky bombs, a bomb capable of sticking onto objects.

United Kingdom

Lee Enfield No.4 Mk. III

Many of the British soldiers begin with Lee Enfield No.4 Mk. I. Once the player gets enough munitions, one riflemen in the section can be upgraded to have a scoped Lee Enfield No.4 Mk. I(T), or the entire section can be given access to rifle grenades.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I - .303 British. This was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces during World War Two, however, it was supplemented heavily with the older Lee Enfield No.1 MK.III. First placed in service with the British military in 1941.

Sten Mk. II

The Sten Mk. II is the main weapon for the British Lieutenant ("Leftenant" in the British-English language), while the airborne commandos (Parachute Regiment troops, denoted by their maroon beret) use the suppressed Sten Mk. IIS.

Nazi Germany

Luger P08

German artillary crewmen and officers carry Luger P08s as self defense against infantry. Strangely, the Luger does almost accurate one shot kills, no matter if the enemy is equipped with some automatic weapon.

MP40

German Pioneer squads, Volksgrenadier squads as an upgrade and by the assistant in MG teams use MP40s. Unlike most World War 2 movies and video games, the MP40 is accurately shown held correctly with the folding stock extended.

Kar98k

The Kar98k are used by most German combat infantry. Kar98k users can defeat the M1 Garand riflemen at range, despite its low rate of fire and smaller amount of rounds in its stripper clip. However, at closer range, the M1 is superior.

MG42

The MG42 are used in many of the bunkers in the D-Day campaign and mounted on many of the German tanks, motorbikes (the ones on the motorbikes and tanks have drum magazines), machine gun emplacements, halftracks and buildings. It is also the primary weapon for German machine gun crews and can added to grenadier squads as an upgrade. In the beginning cutscene of the D-Day mission, we see MG42s firing and mowing down troops in the same angle as the German gunners in Saving Private Ryan.

Gewehr 43 (scoped)

The German snipers in the game use scoped Gewehr 43s. In the Opposing Fronts expansion, the Gewehr 43 is available as an upgrade to the arsenal of the German elite combat units and is only useful at long range.

Flak 38

The AA guns in Nazi bases and in cutscenes are actually German Flak 38s. They are also the main weapon for the Flakpanzer IV.

Panzerschreck

Sturmtrooper squads and grenadier squads can be upgraded with Panzerschrecks to combat enemy vehicles if need to be. Allied troops can scavenge them from dead Germans and supply depots.

Panzerfaust

The Panzerfaust is a weapon that Sturmtrooper and Volksgrenadier squads can obtain through abilities. It allows the Sturmtrooper squad to fire a quick rocket at a vehicle when Panzerschrecks are unavailable.

Model 24 Stielhandgranate

The standard stick grenade of the German army, the Model 24 Stielhandgranate, is unlocked once you upgrade your HQ or you select the Blitzkrieg Doctrine.

Sturmgewehr 44

German sturmtroopers and elite combat units are seen with Sturmgewehr 44s. A few are seen on D-Day missions, which is anachronistic. The Sturmgewehr 44s weren't issued to the Wehrmacht until around June 13.
