Guns of the Korean War Era

So since Gaijin has officially revealed infantry mode, and stated that we are going to be starting off with the Korean War era, i think it would be a good idea to list out what weapons both the US and Russia used during this timeframe to lay a groundwork for what is to come. Ill start off with some American equipment as i know it a little bit more than i know Russian stuff

M1 Garand.

1911

M1918A2 BAR

M2 Carbine

M1903A4

Turns out lots of people used the Bazooka & Super Bazooka, including the UK. Also, rifle grenades.

EDIT: And if we get swedish infantry, they get the carl gustav.

ngl, i could see the EM-2 being an event weapon mostly due to its very limited service, and the L1A1 could pretty easily be a at the moment top tier weapon for UK

The Korean War didn’t really see many man portable anti tank rocket launchers. Seems like rifle grenades should/will make an appearance.

Thankfully its the Korean War Era from what Gaijin has said, not exclusively stuff used in the Korean War so there is a bunch of room

The focus would mainly be stuff that was adopted and in use then, so likely wont see stuff like the AR-10 right away even if it was tested by the US Army around that time

But if the AR-10 were to come, probably be an at the moment top tier gun alongside the M14

Eh, maybe, but if we’re allowing 50’s guns then that opens the possibility of this.


The AKM.

Yeah definetly would be addable

Atleast both korean sides need weapons not just US for it to be implemented

Obviously. Thats why i asked others to post some Russian stuff as i dont have as much knowledge of the Russian stuff that existed at the time

-Modern setting
-People ask for WW2 and Korean War weapons.

Play Enlisted.

They stated that it start in Korea

Gaijin said that once the Infantry mode leaves beta and hits the live game, it will start with Korean War era stuff, which is 1950’s stuff, which coincidentally includes a large amount of WW2 stuff

I haven’t heard or read anything about the game starting off in the Korean War, that sounds incredibly lame in my opinion. Everything they’ve shown so far is a modern setting. Otherwise, they would’ve made it very clear that the game is set to start there. If it does, then I have no interest in playing it.

They stated so in the dev stream for the infantry mode. The beta will be modern day stuff for the purpose kf testing

Wasn’t the 1903 replaced by the M1c/d by korea?

M1903 surprisingly was still around but in the role as a sniper weapon, not the standard infantry rifle
