The following weapons appear in the upcoming video game Ace Combat: Assault Horizon:
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon (2011)
CETME Rifle
In one trailer, a soldier is seen armed with a CETME rifle.

Generic Rifles
Soldiers in the helicopter demo mission are armed with very low-detail smallarms, making it impossible to determine make or model; all that can really be said is the insurgent weapon looks vaguely AK-ish and the American weapon vaguely M4-ish.
A Delta Force operator from one of the "Bravo" teams in the helicopter demo level holds the US-model generic rifle.
An insurgent takes aim with the AK-like generic rifle.
FIM-92 Stinger
Enemy "SAM" soldiers seem to be armed with very low-detail FIM-92A Stinger launchers.
An insurgent takes aim with a very blocky Stinger launcher; note, however, the block on the left representing the Stinger's distinctive IFF antenna, the one on the right being the sight.
Another insurgent takes aim with a Stinger. Note the launcher seems designed to produce a "man with Stinger" shadow rather than be an accurate model; normal engagement range in the game is much further away, so a convincing shadow is all that is really needed.
Type 69 RPG
As with the Stinger, the Type 69 RPG used by insurgents seems to be designed more to cast an RPG-like shadow than to be accurate in detail, but the weapon is clearly held with one hand rested above the tube rather than on a second handgrip, meaning it is not an RPG-7. These weapons still sound a lock-on tone when fired, but appear to be unguided, simply travelling in a straight line.
Chinese Type 69 RPG - 40mm
Another low-detail infantry weapon; note the model is treated as only having a single grip, meaning it is designed to cast the shadow of a Type 69.
GE M134 Minigun
The GE M134 Minigun appears in the game door-mounted on helicopters. It should be noted that this is the first game in the Ace Combat franchise to feature helicopters as playable aircraft.

DShK heavy machine gun
The DShK heavy machine gun can be seen in the demo mounted on technical trucks and a T-55 tank.
DShK heavy machine gun mounted on Tripod - 12.7x108mm.
Shooter 1 sweeps over a technical armed with a DShK heavy machine gun.
By rushing to the area where the demo mission ends, it is possible to find an enemy convoy which cannot yet move or fire. This allows all the detail of the DShK to be seen easily without the whole dying thing.
During the demo,
Shooter 1 also has to engage this T-55, which can fire both its main gun and the commander's DShK heavy machine gun at the Apache.
KVPT & PKT Machine Guns
In the helicopter demo mission, the player character's helicopter is attacked by a number of BDRM-2 armoured scout cars (called "APCs" in-game), armed with turrets mounting a KVPT 14.5mm heavy machine gun and a coaxial PKT machine gun.
PKT machine gun with 250-round ammo drum - 7.62x54mm R
Shooter 1 gets rather unadvisedly close to a Soviet-designed BDRM-2 armoured scout car.
M61 Vulcan
The M61 Vulcan appears in the game as a secondary weapon on several playable fighters, including the F-14D Super Tomcat, F-4E Phantom, F-16C Fighting Falcon, Mitsubishi F-2A, F/A-18E & F Super Hornet, F-15C Eagle, F-15E Strike Eagle, and F-22A Raptor.
Warwolf 1 opens up on an enemy Su-35 fighter with his F-22's M61 Vulcan cannon, in "assault" mode. Note sparks from the gun fairing landing against the game's "camera."
The F-22 fires again, this time in the more traditional third-person view.
M230 Chain Gun
The M230 Chain Gun is mounted on American AH-64D Apache Longbow helicopters.
Hughes/Alliant Techsystems M230 30mm Chain Gun.
In third-person view,
Shooter 1 opens up with Hydra missiles and its M230 chain gun.
While the third-person view tends to clog up the field of view with an enormous helicopter, it provides many excellent views of
Shooter 1's armament, especially when engaging other helicopters.
Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B
In the helicopter demo level, the player has to face three Hind-D helicopters armed with missiles and chin-mounted Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B four-barrel gatling guns.

ZU-23-2
In some missions, the player will be engaged by enemies manning ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns.
The player character's helicopter sweeps over an insurgent position, guarded by a number of ZU-23-2 AA guns.
Another ZU-23-2 guards a 9A33 Transporter Erector Launcher And Radar (TELAR) armed with SA-8 "Gecko" missiles.
2A38M Autocannon
In one trailer, a soldier is seen standing in front of a row of 2S6M "Tunguska" self-propelled AA systems, armed with missiles and twin 2A38M autocannons.
