Vietcong (2003)
Vietcong: Fist Alpha Expansion Pack (2004)

Vietcong is a tactical first-person shooter video game developed by Pterodon & Illusion Softworks for the PC set during the Vietnam War.


The following weapons are used in the video game Vietcong and its expansion pack, Vietcong: Fist Alpha:



Handguns

Colt M1911A1

The Colt M1911A1. Standard issue U.S. pistol since 1917 World War 1. Rarely used by U.S. Army soldiers in single player but is the most common equipment for U.S. multiplayer classes.

.38 Revolver Royal Hong Kong Police

Described in the game as a Chinese copy of some Colt revolver. It is the main handgun of the Vietcong; particularly prevalent in the tunnel levels, it is quite accurate but slow to reload although a speedloader appears to be used. In multiplayer mode, it is used by the "Medic" class on both teams.

Smith & Wesson Mark 22 Model 0

Seen equipped with a suppressor, and called the "Hush Puppy". In the game it shares the .45ACP ammunition of the M1911A1 instead of the correct 9x19 NATO. It is used by U.S. Special Forces and is the primary pistol used in the Tunnel Rat mission.

Tokarev TT-33

Standard sidearm of the North Vietnam Army along with the Chinese copy (Type 54). Rare in the single player campaign, in Vietcong: Fist Alpha it is more common. It also is a standard weapon for the "Fighter" and "Sapper" Vietcong classes in multiplayer.

Makarov PM

Another Soviet pistol. Instead of a realistic 8 round magazine, in the game this pistol has a 9 round mag. Like the TT-33, the Makarov is rare in single player, in multiplayer it is used by the "Machine gunner", "Sniper" and "Radioman" classes. Both Soviet and Chinese (Type 59) models are used.

Submachine Guns

M3 / M3A1 "Grease Gun"

U.S. machine pistol. The recoil (in game) drives the muzzle down instead of up. The M3 was rarely issued to US forces (except for armoured vehicle and aircraft crews). However, it was used extensively by the South Vietnamese, especially irregular troops like the Civic Guard. US Marines, and US Army special forces also used it. The M3 is rare in the game. In the single player campaign it is often used by local Vietcong fighters. In multiplayer it can be chosen by US soldiers and the Radioman. The M3 shares the same ammunition as the Thompson.

M1A1 Thompson

U.S. main submachine gun, the first selectable automatic weapon, widely used by US soldiers in the single player campaign. Its main characteristics are the high firing rate, good stopping power and the short reload time.

Samopal Vzor 1961 or SA Vz.61 Skorpion

A compact Czechoslovakian weapon with a high rate of fire and easily controllable in full auto, due to the reaction of the 7.65x17mm Browning cartridge. Available in the Vietcong: Fist Alpha expansion.

Note: the name "Skorpion" or "Scorpion" was created only as after-market term used after the '90 to indicate both the SA 361 machine pistol and the SA 91s civilian pistol.

Colt XM16E1

Standard U.S. Army assault rifle, fitted with a detachable M7 knife bayonet. Probably the best and most used weapon in game. In Vietcong his rifle uses 20 round magazines loaded with 18 rounds (N.B. loading a magazine with two rounds less than standard capacity is a trick often used by troops to reduce magazine-related malfunctions) and it can be found in the armoury later in the game, the arrival of the "new M16 rifles" is quoted in Hawkins' diary.

A .30'06 caliber bolt-action hunting rifle, depicted in game without scope. While the game names this as a Winchester Model 70 it is actually a Winchester Model 52, which is a 22.LR rifle.

Avtomat Kalashnikova-47

The standard Soviet assault rifle, used by Main Force Viet Cong fighters and NVA soldiers. The version seen in the game is the Type III version with milled receiver, equipped with a detachable AK-47 Type 1 knife bayonet and magazine loaded with only 28 rounds instead of the normal 30 rounds. In the conflict the Vietnamese forces used it alongside the slightly more modern AKM and the Chinese Type 56.

Tokarev SVT-40

Available only in the Fist Alpha expansion pack, also fitted with a PU optical sight and used by Regional Vietcong snipers. Strangely enough it is equipped with a 20 round magazine and has the capability to fire in full automatic mode, more like an AVT-40.

Dragunov SVD-63

Soviet-made designated marksman rifle, fitted with a PSO-1 4x optical sight and a detachable AKM Type 1 knife bayonet. Rare to see in Single player, it is usually used by NVA snipers, but it is possible to see it used by an ARVN marksman during the "Hamburger Hill" mission. Great damage, rapid fire capability and high precision make this rifle one of the most deadly weapons of the game. Note that the bayonet becomes useable in Vietcong: Fist Alpha.

Machine Guns

M60

The only U.S. portable Machine Gun, it's heavy and affected by a wild recoil and is the main weapon of Sergeant First Class C.J. Hornster. All the models seen in game have the bipod and front-sight removed. It it also seen as a mounted weapon in some levels.

Other Weapons

Remington 870

In game it has a 7 round magazine and plastic composite furniture. In the SP Campaign it is often used by the ARVN Soldier Sgt. Le Duy Nhut. In multiplayer is deadly at short range.

Baikal IZH-43

The Baikal IZH-43. A Russian/Soviet double-barrelled side-by-side hunting shotgun, can fire either one, or both shells. Rare in single player, and likely the U.S. counterpart, in multiplayer is used only in close combat or for a "personal challenge" (due its short range, the small "clip" and the long reload time make it rather difficult to use effectively).

M26 (Grenade)

Booby Trap

Improvised mines, or punji traps used by Vietcong to kill or harass U.S., ARVN, South Korean and Australian troops. Common types in the game include camouflaged pits containing punji stakes, and grenades in cans attached to trip wires (the pin is removed from the grenade, and the delay fuze is removed, when the trip wire is crossed, the grenade comes out of the can, the safety lever comes away, and the grenade detonates instantly). In single player they can be deactivated by cutting their activation wire. In multiplayer only the "Engineer" and "Sapper" can place booby traps. It is impossible to deactivate them, but they can be blown up by shooting them.

M18A1 Claymore

A U.S. remote controlled mine. It has a small detonation radius. In the game it is used only in multiplayer by the "Engineer" or "Sapper" class.

Map

Mission map can used in single mission and multiplayer mode (presumably the artillery is the M1A1 105mm Howitzer, the M114 155mm Howitzer, or the M109 155mm self Propelled Howitzer). It's not a true firearm but can be used to call in artillery fire in some single player mission. In multiplayer all classes are equipped with a map, but only the radiomen are allowed to call the support fire.
