Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad (2011)

Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad is a 2011 first-person shooter and the sequel to Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. As an FPS, it is noticeable for it's tactical realism. The game, set in the brutal Battle of Stalingrad, features a single player-campaign for both the Red Army and the Wehrmacht, as well as teamwork-orientated multiplayer. Players can also operate T-34/76 and Panzer IV tanks in both gameplay modes.

Small-arms in game can have their sights adjusted (players can also look through the ironsights on sniper rifles without having to remove the telescopic sight) and ballistic drops have to be taken into account; the barrel of the MG34 has to be replaced after constant firing. Players can operate four stations in the tanks; driver, gunner, commander and radio operator/bow machine gunner. A feature also allows players to fully hide behind cover for better protection (not unlike Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway); weapons can also be blind fired from behind cover without players exposing themselves.

The following firearms appear in Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad:

Rifles

Mosin Nagant M91/30

The main weapon of Soviet Riflemen in-game is the Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifle. Its 5-round internal box magazine is reloaded either via stripper clips, or with loose ammo, dependent on the ammo count in the magazine at the time the reload is triggered, and is available with a telescopic sight-fitted marksman variant. The non-scoped M91/30 can be upgraded with a bayonet, and the sniper variant a 4x telescopic sight.

Tokarev SVT-40

The Tokarev SVT-40 is used by the Soviet "elite Rifleman" class. It holds a ten-round stripper clip and can be mounted with a telescopic sight. A fully-automatic variant, the AVT-40, is also available, albeit with extreme recoil. Historically, this 1942-designed weapon was available at the time of Stalingrad with that designation, but it was rare and unpopular. Both the AVT and the SVT can be upgraded to fit a bayonet.

PPSh-41

The PPSh-41 submachine gun is used by the Red Army Non-Commissioned Officers and Assault Riflemen. It can be upgraded with a 71-round drum magazine, although only the 35-round stick magazine is available in campaign.

Maxim M1910/30

The Maxim M1910/30 is used as a fixed heavy machine gun by Russians. It is noticeable for it's slow rate of fire and large ammunition belt compared to the German counterpart.

Sidearms

Mosin Nagant M1895

The Mosin Nagant M1895 revolver is the sidearm issued to Red Army soldiers in the campaign. It is the default sidearm in multiplayer, but it can be upgraded to the semi-automatic Tokarev TT-33 pistol. It can be upgraded to fit a (historically anachronistic) silencer.
