Velvet Assassin

Velvet Assassin is a 2009 third person shooter/stealth action game developed by German developer Replay Studios. The player controls Violette Summer, a British spy during the Second World War. The game is often referrred to "World War II Splinter Cell", because both games share the similar gameplay elements such as sneaking, hiding bodies and insanely hard difficulty. The game was released April 2009 and received mixed reviews.
=Pistols=
==Luger P 04==
The Luger P 04 "Marine" is the standard handgun of the German officers, and is recognizable by a barrel shorter than the Artillerie model and non-adjustable rear sights. It is also seen in loading screens and is not usable by the player.
==Luger P 08==
The Luger P 08 first appears in the third level as a usable weapon. Holds eight rounds in a magazine and deals the same damage as the M1911A1, but is not suppressed. During a conversation, one of the German soldiers mentions that the "Parabellum is the most beautiful weapon ever made." Also, unique silver Lugers can be found in the game as hidden collectibles.
==M1911A1==
The M1911A1 appears in the game as "Colt". It is the first real firearm Violette can obtain after the knife. The M1911A1 first appears in the second level, strangely in the middle of a German bunker in a steel locker. It has a standard seven-round capacity and is always suppressed. A powerful weapon that can kill any German soldier with one or, at most, two shots to the chest but finding ammo for it can be a problem.
=Flare Gun=
==Leuchtpistole 42==
The Leuchtpistole 42 can be used to distract guards, or even to set them on fire. It is an ultimate one-shot-kill weapon but appears only in a few missions and is often well-hidden. It is somehow considered a suppressed weapon, because shooting it in the middle of a German camp will not alert the guards.
=Submachine Guns=
==MP 40==
Most German soldiers carry MP 40 submachine guns in the game. This weapon cannot be used by the player.
=Shotguns=
==Stevens Model 620==
The Stevens Model 620 first appears in the second level after the gas tank explosion. Violette uses it to escape the bunker before it collapses. Strangely, many German soldiers use it as their primary weapon, most notably during the "Cathedral" level, despite the well-documented German distaste for using shotguns as combat weapons. It is modelled with the five-round tube but holds six shells. Due to an animation error, Violette loads the shells into the ejection port during the reload. It is referred to by the surprisingly accurate name of "Stevens Shot Gun Model 620", which is a bit strange since video games rarely include the manufacturer's name when referring to a weapon. The shotgun in the game incorrectly has a foreend that extends all the way forward to the magazine tube cap (like a five-shot Remington 870 or S&W Model 3000 shotgun), however the Model 620 has two inches of shell tube ahead of the forearm when in the forward position. 
=Rifles=
==Gewehr 43==
The Gewehr 43 appears as "G43 Sniper Rifle". First found in "The Third Man" level, hidden in a locker. It is always equipped with a ZF 4 scope. Holds only five rounds in a magazine instead of the real weapon's 10-round capacity and incorrectly depicted as a bolt-action rifle.
==StG 44==
The StG 44 is the most powerful weapon in the game but is also very inaccurate. The heavy recoil and muzzle flash makes aiming a little bit hard, but the 30-round magazine and high stopping power compensates for this issue. Many of the enemy soldiers carry one throughout the game. Unfortunately, it can only be picked up and used in the last two levels. Referred to as "StG44 Assault Rifle".
=Flamethrower=
==Flammenwerfer 35==
The Flammenwerfer 35 is used by German soldiers, most notably in the "Fade to Grey" level to wipe out the villagers. Violette can never acquire this powerful weapon.
=Grenades=
==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==
The Model 24 Stielhandgranate can be found on some guards' belt. It can be secretly triggered on their belt, turning them into a walking bomb that explodes after a few seconds. This is a useful technique to take out groups of enemies- but the sound of the explosion can alert the others.
