Beyond The Wire

Beyond The Wire is a 2022 tactical team-based first-person shooter video game set in the First World War, developed by Redstone Interactive and published by Offworld Interactive, the creators of Squad and Squad 44 (known as Post Scriptum at the time). Twisting trenches, roaring artillery, rattling machine guns. Beyond The Wire wants to convey to players how cruel the First World War could be. Due to the claustrophobic narrowness of the numerous trenches, the game also relies heavily on close combat. Realism is also very important to the developers: accurate uniforms and weapons as well as authentic vehicles are supposed to provide a historically tinged feeling.
__TOC__

==Colt M1911==
Released with the Alpha, the Colt M1911 is available for the American Expeditionary Forces' Assault Class, alongside the Harlem Hellfighters and the Canadian Expeditionary Forces (CEF).
==Luger P08==
The Luger P08 appears in-game as the "Pistole P08", used by the German officer class as well as the German Assault Class.

The Luger P08 Artillery Model is also available, dubbed the "Luger Lange Pistole P08" which appears in two basic forms in-game. The more commonly seen version with a 32-round Trommelmagazin is used as an alternative weapon for the German Assault Class. And in a rarity for a video game, the Artillery Luger with normal 8-round mags is used by actual artillery troops. Yes, the Artillery Crewmen classes get access to it.
==Mauser C96==
The Mauser C96 with the stock is a playable sidearm for the German Empire.
==Ruby==
The Ruby appears in-game as the main semi-automatic sidearm of the French Republic, called the "Ruby 1915" in-game. It's also used by the Harlem Hellfighters.
=Revolvers=
==Colt M1917==
The American officer class and the Harlem Hellfighter's Assault Class have access to the M1917 Revolver, the Canadians also have access to this revolver as the "Colt New Service" although it shares the same model and in the case of the New Service incorrect moon clips.

==Reichsrevolver M1883==
The Reichsrevolver M1883 is the only revolver available for the German Imperial Army. The in-game Reichsrevolver is erroneously shown as double-action, possibly to bring it up to par with the other factions' revolvers.
==Smith & Wesson Mk. II==
The Smith & Wesson Mk II Hand Ejector appears as a sidearm for the Canadian Expeditionary Forces (CEF) as one of their sidearm choices, primarily issued to classes like the Medic.

=Submachine Guns=
==Bergmann MP18==
The Bergmann MP18 has been added to the game as a weapon for the late-war German faction's Veteran class. The player grasps the MP18 by its magazine with an underhand grip; this was taught as official doctrine during World War II to offset the poor balance of the weapon, but there is no evidence that it was practiced in World War I.
