Rogue Warrior

Rogue Warrior is a 2009 first person shooter with third-person cover mechanics developed by Rebellion Developments and published by Bethesda Softworks for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Initially developed as Rogue Warrior: Black Razor by Zombie Studios, the original plan was for a squad-based tactical shooter based around a team of elite US soldiers led by real-life former SEAL Richard "Demo Dick" Marcinko infiltrating modern-day North Korea to sabotage an advanced ballistic missile program, to be released in 2007. This version was scrapped by Bethesda and development transferred to Rebellion, who reworked the game as a more standard shooter with both the planned AI teammates being killed before even having any lines, and the setting changed to the 1980s, with Marcinko uncovering a Soviet plan to supply North Korea with advanced weapons. In the final game, Marcinko is voiced by Mickey Rourke.
The following weapons appear in the video game Rogue Warrior:
__TOC__
=Handguns=
==Beretta 92FS==
The "SAP9" (presumably "semi-automatic pistol 9") is for the most part a Beretta 92FS, but the model features a rather odd slide which has had most of the 92FS's open-topped slide filled in, and now has a more "traditional" style of pistol ejection port. The weapon is Marcinko's starting gun in every mission, and comes with a suppressor and infinite reserve ammunition.
==Tokarev TT-33==
The Tokarev TT-33 appears as the "TT-33." A relatively rare sight, it has infinite ammunition just like the "SAP9" but does not have a suppressor, making it somewhat less useful. The model in-game has a totally immobile hammer which the slide simply clips through when it cycles, and duplicates the right side of the magazine release on the left of the weapon, meaning it would be impossible to use.
=Submachine Guns=
==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
The "SM5" is a Heckler & Koch MP5A2, and serves as Marcinko's other starting weapon in singleplayer. The version shown has an S-E-F trigger group set to semi-auto even though the weapon is fullauto only, and a strange additional flash hider.
==OTs-02 Kiparis==
The OTs-02 Kiparis, called the "OTS-02," is the standard SMG of North Korean and Soviet troops; it is techically anachronistic since the game is set in the 80s, but the OTs-02 was not adopted in Russian service until 1991, and its use by then North Korea is highly unlikely, at best; the Sa vz. 61 Skorpion would've been a more appopriate choice. The model has no ejection port, with spent casings just coming out of a random point on the right of the receiver.
=Shotguns=
==Hawk Type 97-2==
The Hawk 97-2 appears as the "TYPE 97-1" (which is actually a different shotgun). It is the most common shotgun in the game and is used by Korean and Soviet soldiers. There is no third-person animation for operating the action, with the forend simply operating itself when the weapon is fired from cover. It is highly anachronistic and inappropriate, since the Type 97-2 was not available until the 2007. A more correct choice would be the KS-23.
==Franchi SPAS-12==
The Franchi SPAS-12 appears as the "SPAS-12," shown with a completely incorrect detachable box magazine in order to share reloading animations with the Hawk. It is pump-action only, and like the Hawk does not have a third-person animation for operating the action; when Marcinko uses the weapon while in cover, the action is shown locked open and the forend operates itself, ejecting a spent casing through the stuck-open ejection port.
=Rifles=
==AK-47==
The "AK74" in the game is actually an AK-47 with a ribbed AKM receiver cover, having neither the correct curve to its box magazine or any of the other distinctive features of the 5.45mm model. It is the most common weapon in the game, being used by both North Korean and Soviet soldiers.
==Colt Model 733==
The "AR4" in the game appears to be a rather deformed Colt Model 733; it seems an attempt was made to model it as a Colt Model 933, anachronistic for the time period, since it has an M4-style stock, but the screws indicating a removable carry handle are just haphazardly added on to a model with a non-removable carry handle. The weapon is essentially a better version of the AK, with greater accuracy and more damage, but ammunition is limited.
=Sniper Rifles=
==SVD Dragunov/PSL hybrid==
A hybrid of the SVD Dragunov and PSL Sniper Rifle appears as the "DRAGUNOV." It is the only sniper rifle in the game, the only scoped weapon in the game, and the only weapon which uses its normal sight in cover. The model is shown with the safety on and only has holes in one side of the handguard.
=Machine guns=
==PKP Pecheneg Machine Gun==
The PKP Pecheneg appears as the "PECHENEG," and is commonly used by heavy enemies; it retains the wooden furnishings of a normal PKM. It is, like several of the game's weapons, anachronistic (having only been adopted in 2001); the PKM from which the in-game PKP takes its furnishings would've been more appropriate. The weapon correctly feeds from the right but incorrectly also ejects to the right in first person, and has no belt animations whatsoever; in third person the belt does not move when the weapon is fired, and when reloading Marcinko swaps out belt boxes without bothering to mount the new belt.
=Launchers=
==GM-94==
The GM-94 grenade launcher appears as the "GM-94," and is the only grenade launcher in the game. It is shown with the front sight missing, the rear ladder sight missing and a notch added to its mounting bracket instead, is not pumped to operate the action, and is incorrectly reloaded by opening the action and inserting a single round into the barrel as if it is an M203, rather than opening the top cover and inserting three into the magazine tube. This is another anachronism, as the GM-94 was not available until 1993. A more accurate choice for the time period of the game could have been the Device "D" noiseless grenade launcher / pistol combo (that could be equipped with several attachments like a suppressor and a shoulder stock).
=Grenades=
==M26 hand grenade==
The M26 hand grenade is the standard throwing weapon in the game, used by both Marcinko and his enemies. The throw animation has Marcinko toss the grenade using his left hand, with no attempt to show how he manages to pull the pin. He apparently doesn't, since the thrown grenade model is the same as the in-world pickup model.
==Model 7290 flashbang grenade==
One of the two teammates with Marcinko at the start of the game has a Model 7290 flashbang grenade attached to his chest rig. He never uses it, since he is killed off before he can actually do anything.
