Revision as of 07:27, 9 June 2016
Civilization IV is a 2005 turn-based strategy developed by Firaxis, and created by Sid Meier. The premise of the game is starting with a band of settlers in the year 4000 B.C. and creating a civilization to stand the test of time. Once the player enters the Industrial Era and beyond they have the ability to create units armed with many firearms. While the graphics are low quality (Which makes some guns difficult to I.D.), many guns are very intricate in their design and easily recognizable.
The following weapons appear in the video game Civilization IV:
Handguns
Single Action Army
If the player is granted a Great General in the Industrial Age and beyond, the Unit is seen wielding a blocky looking Single Action Army. The look of the General appears to be based off of George S. Patton, so the use of a Colt SAA is fitting.
Unknown Suppressed Pistol
The Industrial Age and later Great Spy's (based off James Bond) icon shows an unknown suppressed handgun.
Walther PPk
The Industrial Age and later Spy's icon shows a suppressed Walther PPK.
Submachine Guns
Sa. Vz.61 Skorpion
The SAM Infantry unit wields Skorpions whenever they attack (or are attacked by) ground-based units.
M1 Thompson
The Paratrooper unit (Based off of US WWII Paratroopers) wield M1 Thompsons.
M3 Grease Gun
The flag for the Red Syndicate in the Final Frontier scenario shows the silhouette of an M3 Grease Gun. thumb|none|300px|M3 Grease Gun - 9x19mm
Rifles/Carbines
Spencer Carbine
The Cavalry unit (Based off the US Cavalry), is seen using what appears to be a Spencer Carbine breechloader.
Mosin Nagant
The Russian Cossack unit wields what appears to be a Mosin Nagant, which was a standard issue rifle for them during the later 19th century.
M1 Garand
The Infantry unit (Based off of WWII-era US Army soldiers) are equipped with very blocky M1 Garand rifles.
Musket (various)
The Ottoman Janissary, French Musketeer, Musketman, Rifleman, and Cuirassier units all use shoulder-muskets of various unknown make. The icon for the Rifling technology shows an unknown percussion cap rifle.
Kabyle Musket
The Oromo Warrior unit is armed with a Kabyle Musket.
Brown Bess Musket
The British Redcoat unit wields Brown Bess Flintlock Muskets.
AK-47
The Marine unit uses AK-47 assault rifles.

M4A1 Carbine w/ M203
The American Navy SEAL Unit wields M4A1 Carbines with mounted M203 Grenade Launchers (which are unusable). The M4s also seem to have optical scopes and suppressors. Unlike most movies and video games, the guns fire nearly as loud as they normally would.

In the "Road to War" scenario, German Infantry units are armed with the FG 42 fitted with a Zeiss ZF4 scope.
Shotguns

Launchers
Panzerschreck
