Sniper Elite 4 is the fourth installment in the Sniper Elite video game series, and a sequel to Sniper Elite III. Set in Italy in the year of 1943, the game continues the exploits of OSS sniper Karl Fairburne as he attempts to help the local partisan movement overthrow the fascist government and thwart a plan conducted by the Germans that could threaten the upcoming Allied invasion of Italy.

The following weapons appear in the video game Sniper Elite 4:

Handguns

Beretta M1934

The Beretta M1934, the standard sidearm of the Italian forces during WWII, makes its debut appearance.

Beretta M1934 - .380 ACP

The player holds the Beretta M1934. Note the trigger discipline, a gun safety technique that wasn't employed during WWII in reality.

Aiming the M1934. Note the cup-and-saucer grip, a stance which was actually a standard procedure during WWII in reality.

Colt M1911A1

The M1911A1 returns from previous games as the "M1911".

Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP

The player holds the Colt M1911A1.

Aiming the M1911A1.

High Standard HDM

The High Standard HDM returns from Sniper Elite III, available in the "Silent Warfare Weapons" DLC pack.

High Standard HDM - .22 LR

The player holds the High Standard HDM.

Aiming the HDM.

Luger P08

The Luger P08 returns from previous games as the main sidearm for the Germans, and can be unlocked for player's loadout by melee killing 10 officers in the campaign.

Luger P08 - 9x19mm

The player holds the Luger P08.

Aiming the P08.

Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer

The Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer is available in the "Lock and Load Weapons" DLC pack and is the only handgun to feature fully automatic fire mode.

Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer - 7.63x25mm Mauser

The player holds the Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer.

Aiming the M712.

Nagant M1895

The Nagant M1895 is available in the "Night Fighter Expansion" DLC pack. It's accurate, powerful and retains its unique (for a revolver) ability to be suppressed, but is very slow to reload because its loading gate means that rounds must be replaced individually.

Nagant M1895 - 7.62x38R Nagant

The player holds the Nagant M1895.

Aiming the M1895.

Tokarev TT-33

The Tokarev TT-33 is available in the "Cold Warfare Winter Expansion" DLC pack.

Tokarev TT-33 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev

The player holds the Tokarev TT-33.

Aiming the TT-33.

Walther P38

The Walther P38 returns from Sniper Elite III as the "Army Pistol 38".

Walther P38 - 9x19mm

The player holds the Walther P38.

Aiming the P38.

Walther PPK

The Walther PPK is available in the "Urban Assault Expansion" DLC pack. The in-game 6-round magazine capacity denotes the .380 ACP variant.

Walther PPK - .380 ACP

The player holds the Walther PPK.

Aiming the PPK.

Webley Mk. VI

The Webley Mk. VI is the most powerful handgun in the game. It also has the most range compared to any of the other handguns, but rather obviously cannot be fitted with a suppressor.

Webley Mk. VI - .455 Webley

The player holds the Webley.

Aiming the Webley.

Welrod Mark I

The Welrod pistol Mark I is the first handgun available in the player's arsenal. Like in previous games, the Welrod is incorrectly modeled with the front sight at the muzzle end like on the Mark II, but with the trigger guard of the Mark I.

Welrod Mark I - 9x19mm

The player holds the Welrod.

Aiming the Welrod.

Submachine Guns

Beretta Model 38A

The Beretta Model 38A returns from Sniper Elite III, labeled "MAB38". Being the standard SMG for the Italian forces, it is commonly found in the hands of Italian soldiers.

Beretta Model 38A - 9x19mm

The player holds the Beretta Model 38A.

Aiming the MAB 38A.

FNAB-43

The Italian FNAB-43 submachine gun appears in the game. It has the lowest recoil compared to any of the other SMGs, but also has the lowest magazine capacity of 20 rounds, despite being depicted with a 40-round magazine.

FNA-B 43 with 40-round magazine - 9x19mm

The player holds the FNAB-43.

Aiming the FNAB-43.

M1A1 Thompson

The M1A1 Thompson is the first secondary weapon available in the player's arsenal. Being a starter gun, it packs abnormally low firepower compared to other submachine guns despite being chambered for .45 ACP.

M1A1 Thompson - .45 ACP

The player holds the M1A1 Thompson.

Aiming the Thompson.

M3 "Grease Gun"

The M3 "Grease Gun" returns from Sniper Elite III. Despite being available in the "Silent Warfare Weapons" DLC pack, it is the only unsuppressed weapon in the pack, even though a real-life variant with integral suppressor existed.

M3 "Grease Gun" - .45 ACP

The player holds the M3 "Grease Gun".

Aiming the M3.

MP40

The MP40 is the most common submachine gun in the game, being carried by many German soldiers. The stock always appears folded.

MP40 with brown bakelite lower receiver - 9x19mm

The player holds the MP40.

Aiming the MP40. Like in many other media, the weapon is incorrectly held by the magazine.

OVP M1918

The OVP M1918 is available in the "Night Fighter Expansion" DLC pack.

Villar Perosa M1918 - 9x19mm Glisenti

The player holds the OVP M1918.

Aiming the M1918.

PPSh-41

The PPSh-41 is available in the "Cold Warfare Winter Expansion" DLC pack. It has a 71-round drum magazine, giving it the highest capacity of all the SMGs. This, however, doesn't affect the total ammo pool for the secondary weapon, which results in the player carrying one full magazine and another only partially loaded.

PPSh-41 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev

The player holds the PPSh-41.

Aiming the PPSh-41.

Sten Mk II

The Sten Mk II is available in the "Urban Assault Expansion" DLC pack. Unlike the aforementioned MP40, the Sten is correctly grasped by the slanted forward part of the receiver.

Sten Mk II - 9x19mm

The player holds the Sten Mk II.

Aiming the Sten.

Shotguns

M30 Luftwaffe Drilling

The M30 Luftwaffe Drilling is available in the "Lock and Load Weapons" DLC pack. It's a drilling (German for "triplet") combination gun featuring two 12 gauge shotgun barrels and a 9.3x74mmR rifle barrel. Both shotgun barrels in-game use buckshot. The rifle round is more accurate than the shotgun shells (with a tighter crosshair), and has a different firing sound. The currently used ammo is shown on the HUD. The player can choose which ammo to use first by selecting the ammo type from weapon wheel or pressing the secondary weapon button twice. The game automatically switches to the alternate ammunition when the player fires the rifle round or fires both shotgun shells. Reloading reloads all three barrels. The rifle round draws from the same generic sniper rifle ammo pool as the sniper rifles.

Sauer & Sohn M30 Luftwaffe Drilling - 12 gauge, 9.3x74mmR

The player holds the M30 Luftwaffe Drilling.

Muzzle view.

Aiming the Drilling. Note the reticle: the player currently uses shotgun ammo. Switching to rifle ammo will decrease the size of the reticle to that of a sniper rifle.

Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun"

The Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun" can be unlocked for player's loadout by killing an enemy sniper with it in the campaign. Oddly, it also sometimes appears as the Jägers' secondary weapon, although none of them actually switches to it in combat.

Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun" - 12 gauge

The player holds the Winchester Model 1897.

Aiming the M1897.

Rifles

Carcano M91/41

The Carcano M91/41 is one of the rifles in the game, rather commonly found in several locations fitting the Italian setting, and in the hands of Italian soldiers since it is Italy's service rifle during the war. It uses en-bloc clips so it reloads incredibly quickly. It is also very powerful, which is somewhat strange considering the 6.5x52mm Carcano round was more equal to modern intermediate rounds in terms of stopping power than full-power rifle rounds of its era.

Carcano M91/41 - 6.5mm

The player holds the Carcano M91/41.

Aiming the Carcano.

De Lisle Carbine

The De Lisle Carbine is available in the "Silent Warfare Weapons" DLC pack. Its integral suppressor gives it a very quiet and distinct firing sound.

De Lisle Carbine - .45 ACP

The player holds the De Lisle Carbine.

Aiming the De Lisle Carbine.

FG 42

The FG 42 is the main weapon used by Support Jäger soldiers. It is unavailable to equip in the loadout, but can be picked up by the player in the field.

FG 42 - 7.92x57mm Mauser‎

Running animation.

Karl aims the FG42.

Gewehr 43

The Gewehr 43 returns from previous games.

Gewehr 43 with ZF 4 scope - 7.92x57mm Mauser

The player holds the Gewehr 43.

Aiming the G43.

Karabiner 98k

The Karabiner 98k is the most common rifle in the game, used by Wehrmacht soldiers. The official game artwork also depicts Karl Fairburne using this rifle as his weapon of choice, although M1903 Springfield is the default primary weapon in the actual game instead.

Karabiner 98k - 7.92x57mm Mauser

The player holds the Karabiner 98k.

Aiming the Kar98k.

Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I

The Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I returns from Sniper Elite III. It still has the highest magazine capacity of the bolt-action sniper rifles.

Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I - .303 British

The player holds the Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I.

Aiming the Lee-Enfield.

M1 Carbine

The M1 Carbine is available in the "Allied Forces Rifle" DLC pack. The gun incorrectly holds 20 rounds in a standard 15-round straight magazine.

M1 Carbine - .30 Carbine

The player holds the M1 Carbine.

Aiming the M1 Carbine.

M1903A4 Springfield

The M1903A4 Springfield is the first rifle available in the player's arsenal. It is also (along with the Thompson and the Welrod) the gun Karl Fairburne carries in all in-game cutscenes, regardless of his current loadout.

M1903A4 Springfield - .30-06

The player holds the M1903A4 Springfield.

Aiming the Springfield.

M1D Garand

The M1D Garand is available in the "Allied Forces Rifle" DLC pack. Since the M1C variant was introduced in June 1944, its appearance in 1943 is anachronistic.

M1D Garand with M82 scope - .30-06.

The player holds the M1D Garand.

Aiming the M1D Garand.

MKb 42(H)

The MKb 42(H) is available in the game, labeled the "MKb 42". It is used by the elite German soldiers known as Jägers.

Sport Systeme Dittrich reproduction of the Haenel MKb 42(H) - 7.92x33mm Kurz

The player holds the MKb 42(H).

Aiming the MKb 42(H).

Mosin-Nagant M91/30

The Mosin-Nagant M91/30 can be found in weapon caches. During Mission 2, the player can find a unique Mosin-Nagant called "Greta". The diary of the resident German sniper describes this as his favorite rifle (apparently a war trophy from the Eastern front). Stat-wise, the Greta has no differences to a regular Mosin-Nagant.

Mosin-Nagant M91/30 - 7.62x54mm R

The player holds the Mosin-Nagant M91/30.

Aiming the Mosin-Nagant.

Ross Mark III

The Ross rifle Mark III is available in the "Allied Forces Rifle" DLC pack.

Ross Mark III - .303 British with Warner & Swasey M1913 Musket Sight

The player holds the Ross Mark III.

Aiming the Ross.

Steyr-Mannlicher M1895

The Steyr-Mannlicher M1895 appears as the "Mannlicher". Its straight-pull bolt gives it a higher rate of fire than most other bolt-action rifles. Because of its en-bloc clip, it reloads extremely quickly.

Scoped Steyr M1895 Rifle - 8x50mmR Mannlicher

The player holds the Steyr-Mannlicher M1895.

Aiming the M1895. Note the position of the striker, which slams in when the gun is fired, a nice detail.

Swedish Mauser 1896

The Swedish Mauser 1896 is available in the "Night Fighter Expansion" DLC pack. Appears as "Swedish Mauser".

Swedish M41 Mauser sniper rifle - 6.5x55mm

The player holds the Swedish Mauser.

Aiming the Swedish Mauser.

Tokarev SVT-38

The Tokarev SVT-38 is available in the "Lock and Load Weapons" DLC pack.

Tokarev SVT-38, sniper variant - 7.62x54mm R

The player holds the Tokarev SVT-38.

Aiming the SVT-38.

Winchester Model 1895

The Winchester Model 1895 is available in the "Urban Assault Expansion" DLC pack.

Winchester Model 1895 - .30 Cal

The player holds the Winchester Model 1895.

Aiming the M1895.

ZH-29

The ZH-29 is available in the "Cold Warfare Winter Expansion" DLC pack. It has a 20-round capacity, though its in-game magazine model seems closer to a 10-round magazine.

ZH-29 with 10-round magazine - 7.92×57mm Mauser

ZH-29 with 20-round magazine - 7.92×57mm Mauser

The player holds the ZH-29.

Aiming the ZH-29.

Launchers

Luftfaust

The Luftfaust (aka Fliegerfaust B) can be found in the Deathstorm Part 2: Infiltration DLC called "Neunfaust R1", referencing its nine barrels. It is considerably anachronistic for the period since it was developed near the end of the war.

Replica Luftfaust (aka Fliegerfaust B) with 9-rocket clip - 20mm

The player holds the Luftfaust.

Aiming the Luftfaust.

Panzerfaust

The Panzerfaust is chiefly used as Faust Troopers. It is unavailable to equip in the loadout, but can be picked up by the player on the field. Oddly, in the game it can be reloaded by inserting a new warhead into the tube, in a way similar to RPG-2 and RPG-7, despite being a single shot, disposable launcher.

Panzerfaust - 44mm with 149mm warhead

The player holds the Panzerfaust.

Aiming the Panzerfaust.

Flare Guns

Leuchtpistole

The Leuchtpistole can be used by the player and German Radio operators to call in artillery strikes. The player can also pick up a Leuchtpistole from a fallen radio operator and call in an artillery strike on their own, the German artillery crews apparently being instructed to deliver a barrage on any red flare they spot.

Leuchtpistole - 26.65mm

A Radio operator fires his Flare gun.

Grenades & Explosives

Model 24 Stielhandgranate

The Stielhandgranate M24 returns from previous installments. It comes in two variants: regular and adhesive. The latter is a sticky variant of the grenade which can stick to most surfaces in the game, including enemies.
