World War II Online: Battleground Europe is a realistic MMO set in World War II Western Europe, featuring hundreds of towns and cities in a huge, zone-less map where battles rage for days and campaigns for weeks. With over 100 weapons and vehicles accurately modeled and utilizing military-grade physics, there is more than enough variety to keep players hooked for a long time.
The following firearms are seen in the MMO video game World War II Online: Battleground Europe:
BRITISH WEAPONS
Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)|Lee Enfield Rifle No.4 MK I
The Lee Enfield Rifle No.4 MK I is the standard main armament for the British Rifleman, Grenadier and Sapper. It has twice as many rounds in it's magazine than the German counterpart, this can be very important in combat. Logically it will take longer to reload once it is empty.
Thompson M1928
The Thompson M1928 is the main weapon for the British SMG class. Due to the .45 ACP round it is a very powerful gun, the downside is the somewhat higher recoil.
Lee Enfield Rifle Grenade Cup, No. 68 AT rifle grenade
The Lee Enfield Rifle Grenade Cup ingame is used to launch the No.68 HEAT anti tank rifle grenade. Because of the relativly low penetration power and small fuze detonation arc this weapon is quite challanging to use, but in the hands of a trained soldier it can be quite effective until the heavy tanks arrive.
Boys Antitank Rifle
The Boys Antitank Rifle has a very heavy kick and is absolutely deadly against soft skinned vehicles and infantry even on longer ranges. To use it effectively against tanks you have to learn every weakspot of each tank. You can only use this beast while being prone and deployed monopod.
Satchel Charge
The Satchel chargen can either be used to sap enemy tanks or to blow up enemy fire bases and other buildings.
Bren Gun
The Bren Gun was beloved by the British Forces even after WW2. Also ingame it is quite a good weapon because of it's accuracy. Although the top mounted magazine somewhat hampers your view. To use this gun you have to either go prone and deploy it on the ground or on the geometry of the game world (boxes, walls, windows etc) while standing or in crouched position.
Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I(T)
The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I(T) is the sniper version of the standard No.4 MK1. It has a top mounted scope type No32.
Ordnance SBML 2 Inch Mortar
Webley Mk IV
The Webley Mk IV is the standard sidearm for the SMG, anti tank rifle classes and the light machine gunner. Used at short ranges it can be quite deadly indeed. It is reloaded using a speedloader ingame.
Mills Bomb No.36M HE Grenade
The Mills Bomb No.36M HE Grenade is the standard hand grenade for the British infantry classes. As all grenades, the Mills is not very effective in open terrain, but it is excellent to clear bunkers and other enclosed spaces.
No.77 Mk. I Smoke Grenade
Combat knife
FRENCH WEAPONS
MAS-36
The MAS-36 is the standard rifle for the French Rifleman and Sapper class. It is easy to handle and the modern 7.5x54 rifle round performs very well in mid range engagements. 5 round stripper clips are used to reload.
MAS-38
Although the MAS-38 was very rare in real life and only about 3400 were produced during the war, it was chosen for the French SMG class as it is a very iconic, unique and interesting weapon. It fires the weaker 7.65 pistol round but you can use this to your advantage as this also results in a lower recoil.
Lebel 1886
The Lebel 1886 has a very long history in the French army starting in 1887 when it was adopted into French service. It has a very unique tubular magazine, meaning you cannot use stripper clips for reload, each round has to be loaded seperatly. This results into a longer reload time, but you could load 8 rounds instead of 5 like most of the other military rifles of that time. Ingame this weapon is generally excellent to use as it has very good iron sights.
Vivien-Bessière Tromblon, VB AP rifle grenade
The Vivien-Bessière Tromblon can be attached to the Lebel 1886 rifle. You can launch time fuzed (8 seconds) HE grenades with this device, a good way to clear bunkers and other buildings from a distance.
Boys Antitank Rifle
The French Forces traded some of their 25 mm CA Mle 1938 anti aircraft guns for the Boys Antitank Rifle. This is also represented in the game.
Satchel Charge
Chatellerault M1924/29
Similar to its British counterpart, the Chatellerault M1924/29 is a very accurate LMG and pretty confortable to use. It has the same disadvantage of the top mounted magazine decreasing your field of view and as all LMGs ingame, you either have to go prone, stand or crouch near an object to deploy it before you can fire it.
Lebel 1886 with APX Mle 1921 Scope
Lance-grenades de 50 mm mle 37
SACM M1935A
Grenade OF (HE Grenade)
Grenade Fumigène Mle 1916 (Smoke Grenade)
Combat knife
GERMAN WEAPONS
Karabiner 98k
MP40
The MP40 is the standard weapon for the German SMG class. It fires the 9x19mm Parabellum ammunition, which works very well for close combat and in buildings. The recoil can be controlled quite well and the dispersion is rather low. As it's real life counterpart it is a very effective weapon design in the right circumstances.
Karabiner 98k Gewehrgranatgerät, GewSprGr.30 AP rifle grenade
The German rifle grenadier class is able to attach the Gewehrgranatgerät to the standard Karabiner 98k rifle. It is used to launch the Gewehrsprenggranate 30 anti personell HE grenade which has an impact fuze. It is best used in a direct fire role agains soft skinned vehicles, infantry and other buildings.
Panzerbüchse 39
Satchel Charge
MG34
The German MG34 is the standard light machine gun in the German army. It fires the standard 7.92x57 IS rifle cartridge. Ingame it is drum fed although in real life there was also a tripod mounted beltfed option (MMG). If used correctly, this weapon is an absolute beast in the hands of a skilled player. Like the French and British counterparts you have to either deploy it while being prone or on world objects while standing or crouched.

5 cm leichter Granatwerfer 36
Luger P08
