OICW & OICW/GL Heckler & Koch *only available to Rifleman Expert
Caliber: 5.56 mm NATO (KE) and 20x85mm (HE)
Action: Gas operated, rotating bolt (KE), unknown (HE)
Overall length: 890 mm
Barrel length: 250 mm (KE) 460 mm (HE)
Weigth: ca 5.5 kg empty; ca 6.8 kg loaded
Magazine capacity: 30 rds box (KE) and 6 rds box (HE)
Rate of Fire: Semi-Auto, Burst-Fire, Fully-Auto
Description: OICW stands for Objective Individual Combat Weapon.
The key idea behind the OICW program is to increase effectiveness of the soldier and the kill probability. To achieve this, the OICW has three major components: the Kinetic Energy (KE) module, which is, in fact, modified Heckler-Koch G36 assault rifle, High Explosive (HE) module, which is a semi-automatic, magazine fed 20mm grenade launcher, and computerized day/night sighting system with integrated laser rangefinder and fire control unit. The system is advertised as being(or GOING TO
BE) 5 times more lethal than current M16A2 / M203 combo.
The GL module fires 20mm high-velocity grenades. Its real world counterpart fires grenades with programmable fuses, that can be set for
Air Burst mode (grenade explodes at the specified range above the target; range is set via Fire Control module from laser rangefinder), or for Point Detonation (grenade explodes upon impact, this version is included in Tom Clancy: Ghost Recon).
M16 & M16/M203 *M16/M203 only available to Rifleman Expert
Caliber: 5.56 NATO (.223 rem)

Overall length: 1016mm
Barrel length: 508mm
Weight: 3.77kg
Muzzle velocity: 991m/s
Muzzle energy: 1712 J
Magazine Capacity: 30 rounds
Rate of fire: Single shot, Burst fire, Full-Auto (not available in the game)
Description: In the early 1960s the M16 was the standard weapon used by military/infantry personnel. In the early 1980s the M-16 was modernized again. The major upgrades included a new, heavier barrel with new rifling, to accept the new SS109 cartridge with a heavier bullet (designed in Belgium by FN). This upgrade gave the bullet fired from
M16 a more flat and stable trajectory. Other upgrades included a new mode of fire. A 3 round burst was added to single-shot and full-auto modes of the original M16 (however, only a 3 round burst is available in the game), with height elevation and windage adjustment. Also installed was a new circular-cross shaped hand guard instead of the old triangular-cross shaped one. Latest modification of the M16 family is the M16A3 and the M16203, which is exactly the same as M16 except for integral carrying handle, which is replaced to accept different types of scope mounts, laser-aiming devices etc, and a breach loaded HE grenade round.
MP5/SD Heckler & Koch *Rifleman Expert can only use MP5SD, Demolitons
Expert can use both versions
Caliber: 10mm Auto
Ammunition Feed: Straight, translucent, synthetic magazine.
Mechanical sights: Rotary aperature rear sight adjustable for windage and elevation.

Magazine Capacity: 30 rounds
Rate of fire: Semi-automatic, 3-round burst, and full-automatic.
Description: One of the worlds widespread SMGs, the MP5 began its service in 1961 with Bundeswehr (West Germany Army) and other Germany law enforcement agencies. Today many armies and law enforcement agencies adopt MP5, including US Army and Navy.
MP5 is a recoil-operated, roller-delayed blowback select-fire weapon(overall design is very similar to HK G3 battle rifle). It fires from the closed bolt, thus achieving a good accuracy. Standard sights are select range peephole rear and pos front sights. The MP5 may be equipped with night or scope sights, laser-aiming devices, and tactical lights. Old variants of the MP5 had ported metal hand guard and straight box magazines; Neves variants have polymer hand guard and curved box magazines to ensure reliable feeding. For some time HK produced 10mm auto and .40SW versions of MP5 named MP5/10 and MP5/40, respectively, but now they are discontinued in favor of the newest HK
UMP submachine gun.
MP5's are rugged, reliable and accurate weapons one of the best in its class.
SA80 *only available to Demolitions Expert
Caliber: 5.56 NATO (.223rem)
Action: Gas operated, rotating bolt
Overall length: 780 mm
Barrel length: 518 mm
Weight: 4.13 kg (w. optical sight)
Magazine capacity: 30 rounds
Rate of Fire: Semi-Automatic, Full-Auto
Description: The development of the SA80 system (which included two weapons - L85 assault rifle and L86 Light Support Weapon) began in the late 1960s when the British decided to develop a new rifle which will eventually replace 7.62mm L1 SLR (British-made FN FAL) in the 1980s.
SA80 is a gas operated, selective fire weapon. It utilizes short piston stroke gas drive with gas regulator, which operates the AR-18 style massive bolt carrier with eight-luged rotating bolt. The bolt carrier rides on two guide rods, and recoil spring is located around third rod between and above guide rods. The receiver is made from stamped steel, and is said to be strengthened during L85A2 upgrade program. The SA80 accepts STANAG-compatible magazines. The one of the most notable features of the L85 is that it is issued with 4X optical sight, called
SUSAT, as a standard, which seriously improves accuracy. Emergency fixed sights are also provided.
M4-CARBINE * only available to Demolitions Expert
Type: Compact assault rifle
Entered Army Service: 1997
Specifications:
Caliber: 5.56mm

Rate of fire: Semi-Auto, Full-Auto
Description: The M4 is a lightweight, gas operated, air-cooled, magazine fed, selective rate, shoulder-fired weapon with a collapsible stock. A shortened variant of the M16A2 rifle, the M4 provides the individual soldier operating in close quarters the capability to engage targets at extended range with accurate, lethal fire. The M4 Carbine achieves over 80% commonality with the M16A2 Rifle and will replace all
M3 .45 cal. submachine guns and selected M9 pistols and M16 series rifle. M4A is exactly the same M4 except for integral carrying handle, which is replaced by Picatinny-Weaver rail system for mounting different sighting devices (as on M16A3).

Description: The M136 AT4 is the Army's primary light anti-tank weapon.
The M136 AT4 is a recoilless rifle used primarily by Infantry Forces for engagement and defeat of light armor. The recoilless rifle design permits accurate delivery of an 84mm High Explosive Anti-Armor warhead, with negligible recoil. The M136 AT4 is a lightweight, self-contained, antiarmor weapon consisting of a free flight, fin-stabilized, rocket- type cartridge packed in an expendable, one-piece, fiberglass-wrapped tube. The M136 AT4 is man-portable and is fired from the right shoulder only. The launcher is watertight for ease of transportation and storage. Unlike the M72-series LAW, the M136 AT4 launcher need not be extended before firing. Though the M136 AT4 can be employed in limited visibility, the firer must be able to see and identify the target and estimate the range to it. Subsequent to the initial fielding of the weapon, a reusable night sight bracket was developed and fielded. It permits utilization of standard night vision equipment. The system's tactical engagement range is 250 meters and has been used in multiple combat situations. The round of ammunition is self-contained in a disposable launch tube. The system weighs 15 pounds and can be utilized effectively with minimal training.
Note: This weapon can cause damage to anyone standing behind the launcher when the weapon is activated.
