Soldier of Fortune: Payback

Soldier of Fortune: Payback (2007)

Soldier of Fortune: Payback is a first-person shooter video game, the third in the Soldier of Fortune series. It was released in 2007 by Activision. It was immediately banned in Germany due to the high level of violence and dismemberment.

The following weapons appear in the video game Soldier of Fortune: Payback:

Handguns

Heckler & Koch Mark 23 Mod 0

One of the starting pistols in the game is the H&K Mark 23. It is called Mk23 in the game and carries 12 rounds. Can be modified with a suppressor and the dual-wield can be unlocked later.

Custom 1911 variant

This custom two-tone 1911-type pistol appears as 1991A1 in the game. It carries 10 rounds with no signs of a extended magazine-cap. Can be wielded in "Akimbo" but cannot equip a suppressor.

Springfield Armory Tactical Response Pistol - .45 ACP

Springfield Armory TRP Operator - .45 ACP

Beretta Px4 Storm

The Beretta Px4 Storm appear as M.40 in the game. It is fairly accurate with moderate damage. Holds 20 rounds and can be fitted with a sound suppressor. Using it in Akimbo mode can be very effective because it maintains the good accuracy and many bad guys can be neutralized before the 20+20 rounds run out.

Beretta Px4 Storm - 9x19mm, .40 S&W or .45 ACP

The Px4 Storm during weapon selection. Note the absence of the ejection port and the larger hammer.

Mason takes aim with his Px4 Storm.

Glock 19 (converted)

The Glock 19 is a fully automatic machine pistol featured in the game. It is called 18C2 in the game and can also be wielded in an akimbo fashion.
Although, the G19 is not offered in automatic form by the manufacturer, it can be easily converted to fire fully automatic. Since the player's character is a heavily trained mercenary, it should be expected from him to be able to make the conversion.

Glock 19 3rd Generation - 9x19mm

The G19 during weapon selection.

Mason reloads his converted Glock 19.

IMI/Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark VII

The Desert Eagle Mark VII appears as .50AE in the game suggesting that it was modeled after the Mark XIX but it lacks the scope rails above the barrel. Despite this, it is still the most powerful handgun in the game but holds only 7 rounds (as the Mark XIX would). Can be dual-wielded for increased firepower.

IMI/Magnum Desert Eagle Mark VII - .357 Magnum

The Desert Eagle during weapon selection.

Note the absence of the scope rails denoting the pistol as a Mark VII.

The slide locks back as the pistol runs out.

Mason reloads his dual Desert Eagles.

Taurus Raging Bull

The Taurus Raging Bull chambered in .454 Casull is the only revolver featured in the game labeled simply as .454. Perhaps the most powerful sidearm in the game and is super accurate. Despite using .454 Casull Ammunition, the weapon, like the Desert Eagle has relatively low recoil for a gun of it's caliber and as such, it's unrealistically different from the real firearm. It carries 5 rounds in the cylinder but cannot be wielded akimbo.

Taurus Raging Bull - .454 Casull

Mason holds the Raging Bull.

Mason reloads his revolver using a speedloader.

Metal Storm VLE

Perhaps the first game ever to feature Metal Storm's concept prototype firearm, the VLE (Variable Lethality Law Enforcement) pistol. The weapon is a burst firing weapon, firing 3 rounds at a time. The weapon uses the barrels as the firearm mechanism and reloads by extracting the used barrels and inserting new one's containing the ammunition. Despite these differences, the weapon is quite powerful yet horribly slow to reload, as each barrel must be replaced to a total of 4 barrels. The weapon holds 18 rounds and appears as ALX in the game.

Shotguns

Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser

The Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser is featured in the game as the standard pump-action shotgun firing 12 gauge 00 Buckshots. The Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser is named as the CAWS-90 and appears with a non-removable foregrip. Despite the look of the recoil, the weapon can be fired rather quickly perhaps due to the handgrip. It incorrectly holds 7 shells and cannot be modified.

Mossberg 590 "Compact Cruiser" - 12 Guage

Benelli M4 Super 90

The Benelli M4 Super 90 combat shotgun is labeled as the M1014 in the game, what is the USMC designation of the weapon in reality. It is a powerful semi-automatic shotgun. It carries 6 rounds and has much better range compared to the other shotguns and to benefit that, it is capable of being attached with either a reflex sight, EOTech Holographic sight (which is even renamed to a "Collimeter sight") and a red dot sight.

Benelli M4 Super 90 - 12 guage

The M4 Super 90 during weapon selection. Note that it is modeled with a 4-shot tube, although it holds (incorrectly) 6 shells.

NeoStead 2000

The NeoStead 2000 Shotgun is labeled as the CQC.729 in Payback. It opts for a dual feed system, 6 shots to a single tube totaling to 12 shots in total, making it the largest capacity shotgun in the game. Despite being labeled and designed as a 12 gauge, the shells being reloaded appear to be the same size as a .410 shotgun shell yet it still remains incredibly powerful.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP7A1

The H&K MP7A1 is one of the initial starting submachine gun's in the game. It holds 40 rounds and offers extreme accuracy. Despite this, the weapon is not very powerful in the game, often taking several shots to down a single foe on the harder difficulties. It can incorrectly fire in 3-round burst mode instead of the semi-auto.
The MP7A1 can be modified with a suppressor, reflex sight, holographic sight and red dot sight. It can also be wielded in Akimbo. Appears in the game as the PDW-7.

Heckler & Koch MP7A1 - 4.6x30mm

Mason reloads his suppressed MP7A1 fitted with a EOTech 552 holographic sight.

Heckler & Koch MP5SD5

The H&K MP5SD5 has a few issues in the game: The first obvious problem is that it lacks the 3-round burst option on the selector. (Is basically an MP5SD2.) The next is that it fires 3-round bursts when the selector is set to semi-auto.
The H&K MP5SD5 can be modified with either a reflex sight, Holographic sight or red dot sight.

Fabrique Nationale P90TR

The P90TR (Triple Rail) appears in the game simply as P90. A Reflex, Red Dot, and EOTech sight can be mounted to the weapon along with a suppressor.

FN P90TR - 5.7x28mm

The P90TR during weapon selection.

TDI Vector

The TDI Vector is one of the first selectable weapons in the game. It is modeled after the prototype of the weapon, noted by the different stock and the fact that the game was released in 2007, one year after the appearance of the very first prototype.
Although the prototype had a rate of fire of 1500 rounds per minute, the one in the game fires so slowly that even a bolt-action rifle would beat it. The weapon also incorrectly holds 28 rounds. Can be fitted with suppressor and various sights. Referred to as SV.45ACP.

Agram 2000

The Agram 2000 (which is a Croatian submachine gun based on the Beretta M12) appears as AMP-9 in the game. It can be fitted with a suppressor, but cannot be dual-wielded. Also incorrectly holds 30 rounds, while the real weapon accepts 22- or 32-round magazines.

Agram 2000 - 9x19mm

The Agram 2000 during weapon selection. Note the chopped foregrip and the missing vent holes on the barrel.

Assault Rifles

Heckler & Koch G36KV

The G36KV is the first assault rifle the player can select along with the AK-47. Can be modified with grip, M203 grenade launcher (which is incorrect and odd, since the AG36 is available in the game), reflex sight, holographic sight, ACOG, rifle scope, red dot scope and suppressor. It incorrectly fires in 3-round burst mode, while in real life only the 2-round burst mode can be present on some special models. Appears as G36E in the game.

Heckler & Koch XM8

It can be fitted with various precision sights, a suppressor, and, incorrectly, the M203 grenade launcher.

Heckler & Koch HK416

The HK416 can be modified with AG36 grenade launcher, foregrip, various sights and suppressor. Like many other weapons in the game, it incorrectly fires in 3-round burst mode instead of the semi-auto.
Appears as the 516 in Payback. (This weapon is often incorrectly labeled as "Heckler & Koch 416", although its official designation is "Heckler & Koch HK416".)

Colt M16A4

The M16A4 appears as M16A3 in the game and is capable of full-auto and 3-round burst fire. It appears without the carrying handle or back-up rear sights when no sight attachment is selected.
It can be modified with grip, M203 grenade launcher, various sights and suppressor.

Colt M16A4 - 5.56x45mm NATO

Something only in video games could happed: Mason switches to full-auto from 3-round burst. The grip is not very effectively mounted also.

Izhmash AK-47

FN SCAR-H STD - 7.62x51mm NATO

Sniper Rifles

Remington/USMC M40A3

Every good first person shooter needs at least one bolt-action sniper rifle. In Payback, the M40A3 fulfills that role. It holds only 5 rounds and can be fired slowly, but these are balanced with the high accuracy and extreme power the rifle offers. Like with many other weapons in the game, its stock has been altered for an unknown reason. This weapon cannot be modified.

The heavily modified PKM appears as PK41 in the game. It has been modified with a shorter barrel, a full stock and a smaller carrying handle to resemble the PKP Pecheneg, the modernized version of the PKM.

The MGL-140 is a powerful weapon but reloading it takes ages. In most games the MGL-140 is shown with a "disposable" cylinder, but Mason knows that part is expensive so he never throws it away.
