We Happy Few is an action-adventure survival horror videogame developed by Compulsion Games and published by Gearbox Publishing, released in 2016 in early access for PC, and fully released in 2018 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Played in a first-person view, the game combines RPG, survival and stealth elements. Its plot is set in an alternate timeline, a 1960's post-WWII Britain where the citizens of the fictional city of Wellington Wells make extensive use of a hallucinogenic drug called "Joy" to keep themselves happy and forget the horrors of the war. Those who do not use the drug and prefer to face reality are called "Downers" and severely persecuted. The player can play as three characters (journalist Arthur Hastings on Act I, chemist Sally Boyle on Act II and army veteran Ollie Starkey on Act III), who have different gameplay style, and different narratives which connect to each other.
The following weapons appear in the video game We Happy Few:

Lee-Enfield No. 4
The Lee-Enfield No. 4 rifle is a regular sight along the game, seen in the hands of old army veterans and in several statues and monuments. It is also available for the player to use as a weapon, although due to the total scarcity of ammo, both the player character and NPCs use only its bayonet.
"Battle Prod"
A highly modified and upgraded Lee-Enfield rifle with three bayonets and a jury-rigged power cell which turn it into a makeshift electrical weapon that electrocutes targets. It is only seen in Act III, wielded by Home Guard soldiers and cannot be crafted. Its world model looks different from the view model, the former having a wooden furniture and the latter having a metallic one.
Model 7290 flashbang grenade
A tear gas grenade based on the Model 7290 flashbang grenade is present in the game. Its smoke causes coughing fits on enemies making them unable to attack the player. It was available in normal gameplay during early access, but it has since been removed and can be only acquired through console commands. The Tear Gas Grenade's model and inventory icon are still used in the "Dick the Naughty Duck" item.
Other
"Blomfield 9-Pounder"
In the Royal Artillery Park in Lud's Holm there is a statue of a Napoleonic era cannon, with a plaque beneath it that describes it as a Blomfield 9-Pounder. The actual Blomfield 9-pounder cannon is much less bulky than the one depicted in the statue, which is more similar to a naval gun, likely enlarged due to the game's cartoonish art style.
8.8 cm Pak 43
In the Victory Memorial Camp, there are several German Tiger II tanks (which later in the story turn out to be made of papier mâché) with 8.8 cm Pak 43 mounted on them.
