Post Scriptum is a large scale, WWII-set first person tactical shooter developed by Periscope Games as an offshoot of Squad and is published by Squad's developer, Offworld Industries. The project began in March 2016 and officially released on Steam Early Access on August 9th, 2018. It initially released as Post Scriptum: The Bloody Seventh as first released chapter of the game focused on the engagement of the British 1st Airborne Division against German Wehrmacht and SS units during Operation Market Garden in 1944. It was further expanded to include engagements that involved American airborne units. The second chapter, Plan Juane, was released on January 9th, 2020, which depicts the Manstein Plan (Fall Gelb) battle between the French Army and Wehrmacht in 1940. The the third chapter is Day of Days, which portrays the landings of Allied forces in Normandy during Operation Overlord.
As with its parent game, Post Scriptum is a multiplayer-only game focused on teamwork and cooperation, featuring combined arms gameplay and highly realistic, detailed weaponry. It has numerous factions depending on the setting of a match, and asymmetrical gameplay and classes between the Allied units and Axis forces.
The following weapons appear in the video game Squad 44: Letters From The Front:
Overview
Pistols
Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873
Chamelot-Delvigne Mle. 1873 - 11x17.8mmR
A French NCO with the Mle. 1873 in the Belgian city of Dinant.
Reloading round by round.
Closing the cylinder latch.
Enfield No. 2
Enfield No. 2 Mk. I - .38 S&W
The Enfield No. 2 in-game, in Holland.
Looking through the sights.
The start of a reload with the Enfield revolver - the rounds come out, but the ejector doesn't move.
Unfortunately, each .38 S&W has to be loaded by hand without the help of any speedloaders.
M1911A1
A US GI draws and chambers his .45 sidearm.
The M1911 pistol in idle.
Letting out a spent magazine.
Thumbing the slide release.
Mauser C96
The Mauser C96 is issued to select Wehrmacht kits in the 1940 levels.
Mauser C96 "Pre-War Commercial" - 7.63x25mm Mauser
The Mauser C96 on the Stonne level. It doesn't have its holster-stock attached, but is held in carbine fashion anyway.
Using the C96's sights - they cannot be adjusted, although it is kind of pointless anyway.
As with other games, the Mauser pistol is incorrectly shown as having a non-empty bolt hold open feature - the user would have to manually hold it open with one of his hands.
Withdrawing a partially-used stripper clip results in the bolt correctly going into battery.
Luger P.08
The Luger P.08 in the hands of a Fallschirmjaeger.
The Luger toggle action cycling, with a spent round flying out.
Reloading the pistol from empty.
Palming the toggle into battery.

The MAS-38 in the hands of a French soldier outside of Dinant.
Aiming the MAS-38. This is the 100m rear aperture, the 200m can also be used.
Reloading with a new 7.65mm magazine.
MP 40
Sten Mk.V
Steyr MP34
Steyr MP34s are issued to some 1940 Wehrmacht classes on the Dinant and Stonne levels.
Steyr-Solothurn S1-100/MP34 - 9x19mm
Using the Steyr's sights.
Actuating the fire selector - it has an animation, but doesn't actually move.
Rifles
Berthier Mle. 1892 M16
Berthier Model 1916 Carabine - 8x50mmR Lebel
A French
Sappeur armed with the Berthier carbine.
Aiming reveals a shallow rear notch and ultra-thin front post.
Cycling the Berthier's action.

M1 Garand
Posting up just outside of Carentan, with the M1 rifle.
Post Scriptum portrays the Garand's sights very realistically, most games usually give the M1 a psuedo ghost ring for a rear sight. This is likely to balance it out as the Germans have less issued self loading rifles in turn.
Pinging out an empty clip, the M1 Garand's signature feature.
Carefully dropping in a new clip.
Though, as with a lot of other more modern depictions of the Garand, the en-bloc can be withdrawn for tactical reloads.
