The following weapons appear in the video game World War 3:

Overview

Following a trend in recent multiplayer military shooters, the game features a significant amount of weapon customization options, though there is a maximum of 5 mod slots that can be applied to a weapon at once.

Handguns

Most pistols available in-game have threaded barrels for mounting muzzle attachments.

Caracal Enhanced F

The Caracal Enhanced F was added in Operation Skyfront.

Caracal Enhanced F with traditional 3-dot sights - 9x19mm

Desert Eagle Mark XIX

The Desert Eagle Mark XIX was added to the game.

Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark XIX with stainless steel finish, railed frame, railed barrel and integral muzzle brake - .50 AE

Glock 17

The Glock 17 simply appears as the "G17" and it is unlocked by default. Customization options include Glock 17L and Glock 34 style barrels, though their respective slides retain the real-world Glock 17 markings.

MasterPiece Arms MPA930DMG

The MasterPiece Arms MPA930DMG was added to the game, referred to as the "DMG Nine-Milli". It is depicted as fully-automatic rather than semi-automatic. It is available in level 45.

PL-14 Lebedev

The PL-14 prototype of the Lebedev pistol is available in the game. It is incorrectly described as using 9x18mm Makarov ammunition as opposed to 9x19mm Parabellum. The Lebedev is unlocked at level 29.

VIS 100

The VIS 100 is a pistol option in the game. Initially, it was modeled after 3D printed mock-up prototype designs of the PR-15 Ragun (the former name of the VIS 100) made by FB "Łucznik" Radom first shown in 2012. The in-game model was changed to the VIS 100 production version following a 2021 update, though it is still referred to as the "Ragun". It is unlocked at level 5. The in-game version incorrectly features a burst-fire selector that is somehow operated by flicking the gun to the side, without using their fingers to switch modes.

Submachine Guns

PM-98

The PM-98 Glauberyt is available, simply named "Glauberyt". The markings on the receiver incorrectly label it as the modernized PM-06, and the weapon is erroneously depicted as being chambered in 9x18mm Makarov; this type of ammunition is used by the earlier PM-84 in reality. It is unlocked at level 14.

Initially, it was fitted by default with the longer barrel of the BRS-99, the civilian version of the PM-06. Currently, the default barrel is a compact one, and it can be replaced by a standard PM-98 style barrel or a BRS-99's barrel.

Menu entry of the PM-98 Glauberyt with the BRS-99 style barrel. Note the "PM-06" markings, though at least the caliber is correctly labeled as 9x19mm.

PP-19-01 "Vityaz-SN"

The PP-19-01 Vityaz-SN appears. It is designated as the "Vityaz". The Vityaz submachine gun is available from the start.

SIG-Sauer MPX

The SIG-Sauer MPX is featured in the game as the "SIG". It's obtained at level 31.

The weapon is shown with a two-position fire selector, indicating that it is modeled after a civilian SBR variant. The selector switch was initially set to the corresponding semi-auto mode; following an update, it is now set to the full-auto position, even though it still lacks the full-auto markings and the pin for the auto sear.

SIG-Sauer MPX SBR (Gen 1) fitted with a KeyMod handguard - 9x19mm. It can be distinguished from the Gen 2 version by the different bolt carrier and dust cover, and the standard MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail. It is also typically seen with a non-ambidextrous charging handle.

Rifles

AK-12

The 2013 prototype of the AK-12 appears, chambered in in 7.62x39mm. It is referred to as the "AK-15", but this designation in reality was given to the 7.62x39mm AK-12 model from 2016 onwards; as such, that labeling isn't appropriate for in the in-game version. The AK-12 is unlocked at level 27.

Following an update, the weapon's handguard was changed to that of the production model of the AK-12/AK-15.
