The following weapons appear in the video game World in Conflict and World in Conflict: Soviet Assault:
WARNING! Spoilers are included in few pictures and their descriptions.
The Beretta M9 can be seen fired by an American soldier during the final cut-scene of the mission Last Stand. This could be also the holstered sidearms of some characters.
M16A2 Rifle
The M16A2 is the standard issue weapon of the U.S. soldiers and Norwegian Rangers. In cut-scenes, the M16A2 is seen used by 1LT Parker, CPT Mark Bannon, CPL Anton “Ants” Rodriguez, CPT James Webb (with an M203 grenade launcher), and many other characters. In-gameplay, the M16A2 is only used with M203 grenade launcher.
Colt Model 733
The Colt Model 733 is used only by COL Sawyer in France and Norway, though never fires it.
FN Minimi/M249-E1 SAW
The FN Minimi is used only by CPL Thompson. In the 1980's the U.S. military used the FN Minimi as their squad automatic rifle, alongside with the M249. CPL Thompson is the only one to be seen using an FN Minimi, though in-gameplay the U.S. Infantry squads are using Mk 46 Mod 0 instead.
Mk 46 Mod 0
The Mk 46 mod 0 is used by one soldier in each Infantry squad. It would be more appropriate to see an FN Minimi or an M249 SAW, as the Mk 46 Mod 0 is more a special operations weapon, which also was not issued by the American military during '89. A note of interest is that the front sights are awkwardly modelled and don't look like an FN Minimi-based weapon.
M60
The M60 can be only seen used by U.S. soldiers in both the intro and New York cinematic videos.
Browning M2HB
The Browning M2HB is mounted on M1025 HMMWVs, AAVP-7A1s, M60A3 Pattons and M1A1 Abrams tanks.
GE M134 Minigun
The GE M134 Minigun can only be seen in the New York cinematic video, mounted on the tail of a USMC CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopter.
A stock-less Franchi SPAS-12 can be seen in the intro and in one of the CGI trailers, though not used in-game. It can also be very briefly seen (though poorly modelled and far too small) during an in-engine cutscene.
FIM-92A Stinger
The FIM-92A Stinger is used by only one soldier in each Infantry squad, and is able to attack helicopter units.
In the Soviet Assault launch trailer, some American soldiers can be seen firing an M136 AT4, also seen on the back of a soldier in one of the U.S. campaign's cut-scenes, though is never seen used in-game.
Light artillery APC units are using M252 mortars as their main weapon.
NATO Weapons
FAMAS F1
In cut-scenes, Commandant Jean-Baptiste Sabatier is the only NATO character to be seen carrying a FAMAS F1.
FAMAS G1
The FAMAS G1 is the standard issue weapon of the NATO soldiers. Like the M16A2 and the AK-47, the FAMAS G1 in always seen with a grenade launcher in-gameplay.
M240B machine gun
The M240B, distinguished by the rail on top, but missing its heat-shield, is mounted on Land Rovers and also used by one soldier in each Infantry squad. It is odd to see the M240B in use by NATO forces, as an FN MAG would be more appropriate.
MG3A1
Crudely rendered MG3A1s can be seen mounted on the commanders hatch of Leopard II tanks.
FR F2
The FR F2 is seen in the hands of French NATO snipers.
FIM-92A Stinger
Same as the U.S. Infantry, NATO forces also use the FIM-92A Stinger against air units.
L21A1 RARDEN
The primary weapon of FV510 Warrior IFVs is the 30mm L21A1 RARDEN.
Rheinmetall MK 20 Rh 202
The primary weapon of the Spähpanzer Luchs is the Rheinmetall MK 20 Rh 202. This vehicle is depicted in-game as an amphibious IFV, whereas it is in fact a reconnaissance vehicle.
Alenia Difensa TM-197B
The gun carried by the Agusta A129 Mangusta is the Alenia Difensa TM-197B, an Italian licence built version of the General Dynamics M197 Vulcan.
Soviet Army Weapons
AK-47
The AK-47 is standard issue weapon of the Soviets soldiers. It is inaccurate to see the AK-47 used by Soviet soldiers in 1989, an AK-74 would be more appropriate. Same as the other assault rifles, the AK-47 is always seen with an attached grenade launcher; a GP-25 in this case.
AK-74
The more period appropriate AK-74 is seen in the hands of Soviet soldiers during Soviet Assault cutscenes.
AS Val
AS Vals are seen in the hands of Spetznaz during the first Soviet Assault mission.
PK Machine Gun
The PKM is used by Soviet Infantry squads, also mounted on UAZs.
