Call of Duty: World at War (2008)


United States Marine Corps

M1 Garand

The M1 Garand is the standard rifle of the American forces, and is seen in nearly all of the hands of the American Soldiers. It's depicted as being able to reload partway through an en-block clip; while there is facility for unloading the gun without firing every shot, it was not considered practical to do so in combat [since real soldiers don't have a magic invisible ammo hopper to consolidate their ammo neatly into full clips] and American soldiers were generally advised to fire off remaining shots if reloading was necessary.

M1 Carbine

The M1 Carbine is rarely seen earlier in the American campaign, it is not used up until the Castle level, where it can be picked up from most of the American corpses. Erroneously called an M1A1 Carbine in-game, despite not having a folding stock.

Thompson Submachine Gun

The M1A1 Thompson is Roebuck's Primary Weapon. Note: The M1928A1 appears on the box art for the game, though is not seen in-game. However, the gun looks more like a mix of the M1A1 for the iron sight and bolt hand location, and the M1928A1 because of its compensator and drum magazines. Also it only holds 20 rounds while its in game renders clearly show the 30 round mag.

Browning Automatic Rifle

The M1918A2 Browning in single player is never seen without a bipod, but it must be unlocked in multiplayer. In single player, you start with it in the Level Hard Landing, and it can also be found in the trenches in Burn 'em Out and on some allied Marines in Breaking Point and Relentless.

Winchester M1897

The Winchester Model 1897 is unlocked immediately in multiplayer, In single player it is Sullivan's primary weapon. For some particular reason, if you search through cleared out underground bunkers, they are just lying around.

Referred to in-game as the "M1897 Trench Shotgun" Also, the 1897 trench gun can "gib" enemies (blowing off body parts), which makes this gun a fatal nightmare. The 1897 can blow heads off, blast the soldier's arms and legs off, and even blow the soldier's body in half.

M1903A1 Sniper Rifle

The M1903A1 Sniper Rifle is never seen in single player without a scope, and comes with a scope unlocked in multiplayer. The rifle is not an M1903A4 as it is based off of an A1 and mounts a higher-powered scope than the M73 and M84 scopes commonly used on the A4 variant. The scope mounts are also moved forward to the barrel and forward receiver to accommodate for its length. The A1 sniper variant was more common in the Pacific, which is why it is also seen in other games set in that theatre rather than the A4.

M1911A1 pistol

The M1911A1 pistol is the sidearm of all the American soldiers. and your sidearm in all of the single player levels where you are not issued a flamethrower. It holds 8 rounds in game, when the real M1911A1 holds only 7 (+1 in the chamber). Standard-size 8-round magazines from Wilson Combat were not available until the 1980s. A variant called the "Holy Pistol" can be used in Nazi Zombies Map "Nacht Der Unoten" on the PC, by using the "Give All" PC Command. It's basically an M1911A1 that fires grenade bullets.

Browning M1919

A mobile machine gun, you first use the Browning M1919 in 'Relentless' with a bipod. Later on in single-player it is seen without a bipod. It has a cloth wrapped around the barrel close to the frame, a makeshift handguard. In the level 'Black Cats' dual-mounted on the bow and single mounted on the stern. In multiplayer it is the last machine gun unlocked. It seems that the Browning machine gun for infantry use in the game is a M1919A4, but it can be fitted with a bipod which is a mistake (the bipod was only available for the M1919A6 version). It is also erroneously shown as the turret gun for the Soviet T-34 tank in both single player campaign and multiplayer.

M7 Grenade Launcher

The M7 rifle grenade is an muzzle device that attaches to the M1 Garand, and is used a few times in the Pacific campaign; the first time is when the American force is attacking Japanese Type 96 25mm triple installations at the airfield. There is a slight error in how they are presented; mounting one would normally require the rifle to first be emptied, then individual blank cartridges loaded for each shot fired; in game, they're just attached and fired. In addition, the rifle would have to be braced with the stock against the ground before firing; the player doesn't even have to crouch to use the weapon.

Oerlikon 20mm Cannon

In "Black Cats," the player's Catalina is armed with twin Oerlikon 20mm Cannons under the bow turret. This is not part of any standard Catalina fit, but was reported as a field modification to "Black Cat" Catalinas in the Pacific; however, it required the removal of the twin M1919s in the bow turret, which are still present on the game's Catalina.

Red Army

Mosin Nagant

The Mosin-Nagant is the first rifle given to you by Reznov, due to his lack of trigger finger [but for some reason firing a PPSh is fine], it is fitted with a scope. Right away you are not given ammo. In later levels they are in the hands of Russian Soldiers. For an unknown reason, they are more rare than PPSh SMGs.
