Battlefield: Vietnam
Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following weapons appear in the video game Battlefield: Vietnam:
Colt M1911A1
Standard US/ARVN sidearm, with a 9-round magazine The Standard USG1 M1911A1 has a 7-Round Magazine. In the reload animation you can see the player putting a magazine in, the slide moves forward and then he pulls the slide again. In reality he would waste one bullet by doing that.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
Used by US Special Forces, cylinder holds six rounds.
it looks like a m29 on that second picture.
Chinese Type 54 Pistol
This is the Chinese copy of the TT-33 Tokarev Pistol, except that the Chinese model has a frame mounted safety. The Type 54 is the standard NVA/VC sidearm, the magazine holds 8 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev.
Colt M16A1
Used by the US and ARVN, a semi-auto only variant with a scope can be used as a sniper weapon, both have 20-round mags. The scoped variant has a silencer in the menu and sounds like a silenced m16 but has no silencer while playing. Also, note how the weapon has been reveresed with having the ejection port on the left side.
CAR-15
Used by ARVN and US Special Forces( version with an XM148 grenade launcher used by US Special Forces)
M14 Rifle
Standard rifle for US Demolition Class. Holds only 10 rounds despite having a 20 round magazine and has it's bolt handle on the left.
M21
Identical to the M14 except it has a scope and is one of three possible choices for the Sniper Class.
M40
One of three possible rifles for the Sniper Class, holds five rounds. Note how the gun is a left-handed shooter's rifle.
Type 56
Standard NVA weapon and the underfolding bayonet cannot be used. Note that there is no disassembly push-button on the rear upper end of the receiver, no post within the sight, and the bolt location on the left.
Type 56-1
Standard VC weapon and the underfolding bayonet cannot be used. Note that there is no disassembly push-button on the rear upper end of the receiver, no post within the sight, and the bolt location on the left.
SKS/Type 56
Used by the NVA demolition class, and by the VC as a sniper. Like the Type 56 rifles, the bayonet cannot be used, no post is present within the sight and the bolt once again, has been placed to the left.
SVD Dragunov
One of two NVA sniper weapons and once again, it has an empty front sight and incorrect bolt location.
Mosin-Nagant M1891/30
One of two NVA sniper weapons, only scoped sniper rifle for VC. Note the left handed bolt and how it is seen as a mainstream weapon despite no left handed Mosins ever being produced. Similar thing can be seen on the poster of Enemy at the Gates
M1 Mortar
Mossberg 500
One of two US Infantry Weapons, sawed-off pistol grip and heat shield. Note the incorrect ejection port.
M60 machine gun
Perhaps the most infamous weapon in the game due to a well-known early balance issue; the release version of the game featured a US kit with the M60 and LAW, with the M60 extremely damaging [you pointed it at people and they died] and accurate enough to be used for sniping. This essentially meant games boiled to to re-enactments of Rambo: First Blood Part 2, only with the same number of John Rambos as Vietnamese. This was quickly addressed in patches; the M60 was placed in a kit with the M79 rather than the much more powerful LAW, and both machine guns were made drasically less accurate.
M79
Grenade launcher used by US and ARVN. Has yellow tiger stripe camouflage paint on the barrel similar to the M79 used by "The Roach" in Apocalypse Now.
M72 LAW
Standard US/ARVN Anti-Tank Weapon
MAT-49
The only submachine in the game and is used by NVA and VC engineers. Also the only shoulder arm to have a correct bolt and ejection port location.
