The following guns can be seen in the 2006 real-time strategy game Company of Heroes:
Note: Even though this is a real-time strategy game, guns can be seen during gameplay (requires good timing and camera skills) and in several cutscenes.
United States
M1A1 Carbine
The M1A1 Carbine appears as the standard issued rifle for radio operators and airborn troopers, though M1A1 Carbines were commonly issueed to U.S. paratroopers rather than regular army troopers in reality.
M1A1 Thompson
The M1A1 Thompson is used by a few soldiers in cutscenes only, mainly officers.
M3 "Grease Gun"
The American engineers in the game use M3 "Grease Guns" as their primary weapon. The M3 "Grease Gun" is pretty weak due to the gun's short range, which makes it completely useless and leaves the engineers vulnerable.
M1 Garand
Many of the riflemen in the riflemen squads in the game use M1 Garands.
Browning M2HB
All of the Sherman tanks have mounted Browning M2HBs. The P-47s in the game are seen firing a possible aircraft version of the Browning M2, since that most planes were armed with that at that time.
Browning M1917
Despite being rarely issued to the U.S. Army during World War 2, the Browning M1917 appears as the main weapon for American gun emplacements and machine gun crews.
Browning M1919
The jeeps in the game are armed with Browning M1919s. The Shermans in-game also have one mounted in their hull. For some reason, the Browning M1919 somewhat doesn't have its infantry version in the game.
Browning M1918A2
In the game, the Browning M1918A2 appears as an upgrade to the riflemen squad's loadout. The upgrade replaces the riflemen's standard-issued M1 Garands and M1A1 Carbines with Browning M1918A2s. The Browning M1918A2 in-game causes more damage than the standard semi-automatic rifles, but its range is cut in half, making it only useful at short range.
Mk II Grenade
The riflemen and the airborne troops use Mk 2 hand grenades. Unlike most video games, they take longer to charge and explode since that the user must take them out and then pull the pin.
Nazi Germany
MP40
Many of the German soldiers in the game use MP40s.
Kar98k
The Kar98k are used by a couple of German riflemen. Unlike the American riflemen, the Kar98k users can defeat the M1 Garand riflemen, despite its low rate of fire.
MG42
The MG42 are used in many of the bunkers in the D-Day campaign and mounted on many of the German tanks, jeeps (the ones on the jeeps have drum magazines and are not MG34s), and machine gun emplacements. In the beginning cutscene of the D-Day mission, we see MG42s firing and mowing down troops similarly to the German gunners in Saving Private Ryan.
Gewehr 43 (scoped)
The German snipers in the game use scoped Gewehr 43s.
Flak 38
The AA guns in Nazi bases and in cutscenes are actually German Flak 38s.
Sturmgewehr 44
German sturmtroopers are seen with Sturmgewehr 44s. A few are seen on D-Day missions, which is anachronistic. The Sturmgewehr 44s weren't issued to the Wehrmacht until around June 13.
