Error creating thumbnail: File missing
The world model of the M4A1 exhibits multiple inaccuracies such as the absence of a shell ejection port or the lack of a forward assist and the fact that it was modeled with a 16" barrel.

Norinco Type 56

Primary weapon for all Rebel classes. Available with and without the GP-30 grenade launcher to the Rifleman class. Called "AK-47" and "AK-47/GP-25" respectively Although it appears as the AK-47, the version in-game clearly has a hooded front sight.

The front sight is waaaaaay to short on this rifle to be actually useful.

Norinco Type 84S

FIM-92A Stinger

The only anti-air weapon, available only to the Engineer classes of both sides.

Called "Stinger".
