Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is the fifteenth main installment of the Ace Combat franchise. The game returns to the "Strangereal" universe, and is set in the midst of conflict between the Kingdom of Eurusia and the Osean Federation. The player experiences the air war through an Osean pilot, callsign "Trigger," while the cutscenes explore the war as seen through the eyes of other characters. The game was released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 18, 2019, and on Microsoft Windows on February 1, 2019. The game includes multiplayer battles, and a VR mode is currently exclusive to PlayStation VR.
The following weapons appear in the video game Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown:
Cutscene Weapons
This section is for conventional small arms only seen in the game's cinema scenes.
SIG-Sauer P250
A modern striker-fired, polymer framed pistol resembling a full-sized SIG-Sauer P250 is used in a cutscene near the end of the game.
Mk 18 Mod 1
Mk 18-type rifles are used by Osean soldiers and various characters in several cutscenes.
Mounted Weapons
These are all the cannons mounted to aircraft in AC7. With a few exceptions (such as the AH-64D Apache Longbow's M230 Chain Gun), almost all are available to the player.
Bofors 40mm L/60
In Mission 14 "Cape Rainy Assault," an AC-130U "Spooky II" with a full compliment of arms takes off from the Erusean air force base. It does little else other than flee the battle.
Browning M2HB
Osean M1 Abrams MBTs in the battle for Farbanti can be seen with Browning M2HB machine guns mounted on both hatch position of the turret.
M61 Vulcan
The plethora of American-designed fighter jets all mount M61 Vulcan rotary cannons. M167 VADS installations are also used under a generic "AA Gun" moniker in certain instances, and Phalanx CIWS also appear as targets, usually as part of AEGIS Ashore systems.

GAU-22/A
The F-35C mounts the GAU-22/A in an underslung gun pod.
