A kind of protective clothing.
A Gatling gun is a machine gun that uses multiple rotating barrels to rapidly fire bullets. Commonly mounted on vehicles or gunships, some larger characters may carry a hand held version.
A grenade is an explosive device traditionally thrown by hand, but may also be propelled by a rifle or launcher.
A gun that uses various types of grenades as ammunition.
A Jeep is usually a 4x4 vehicle equipped with a mounted machine gun, it is best used as a transport vehicle.
A Jet pack is a backpack with rocket boosters built in that usually allows the wearer to hover or fly.
A knife is a commonly seen object in video games. Usually used for close quarters combat, or as a cutting tool.
A laser is a focused beam of light, invisible through the air without some other medium (such as smoke) to illuminate it. Lasers are often used in video games as part of a targeting system, or as an offensive weapon in their own right.
Machine guns, generally, are heavier weapons with a rapid rate of fire. To quote the Quake manual, they "eat ammo like popcorn."
A pistol is a very basic hand-held side arm, usually used in case of low ammo or tricky situations. They have appeared in many types of games.
The Plasma Rifle uses plasma technology firing directed energy bolts instead of projectile ammunition.
Proximity mines are passive anti-personnel devices, often used as traps or ambushes, that detonate upon detecting the presence of a target.
A weapon that launches rockets.
The most powerful weapon at short range. Effective against Zombies, Nazis, Demons, etc. Videogame shotguns tend to have exaggerated inaccuracy at long range- real life shotguns are still fairly accurate over a decent distance, while videogame shotguns rarely go more than fifteen feet before becoming completely ineffective.
The weapon of choice for accuracy at long distances. The sniper rifle's slow rate of fire makes it ineffective for close range combat, but its high calibre round ensures that it inflicts maximum damage against the target.
A tank is generally a heavily armoured and armed, tracked vehicle designed to be at the front of a combined forces attack.
A gun turret is weapon mount designed to protect the user or mechanisms of a weapon system. The weapon itself is not a turret, but rather the protective housing of the user or mechanisms of the weapon system.
