Delta Force vs GSG9 Weapon Preview

Delta Force Weapons
Beretta M9 Pistol: In service since the 90s, the Beretta M9 has been the U.S. military's standard sidearm. The plans for incorporating this pistol actually go back to the 70s, when all 5 branches of the U.S. military were planning to sync up their weapons to comply with NATO standards. The 1980s came around, and the military finally decided upon the Beretta 92S-1, the precurssor to the M9. 1984 came around, and the military decided that it was time to upgrade the pistol.  After 4 years of testing, and in 1988, the U.S. military finally upgraded the the M9 incarnation of the Beretta pistol.

M4A1 Carbine: Another standard in the U.S. military, with roots also going back to the 70s. The military at the time was experimenting with making carbine versions of the M16 & AR15 assault rifles, and intented for them to be distributed to all markets, not just the military. Eventually, in 1994, the M4 Carbine was officially designated as the U.S. military's primary assault rifle. The M4A1 is a spinoff of the M4, allowing for full-auto firing instead of the 3-round burst of the M4, and being host to a wide variety of attachments, including suppressors, underbarrel grenade launchers, ACOG scopes, and other useful items.

M249 "SAW" Light Machinegun: Yet another weapon in the U.S. military's arsenal with roots in the 70s, the M249 is some serious firepower. Developed by the famous Belgian firearms company FN Herstal, the M249 first saw mass production in 1982, when the United States quickly picked it up as a piece of firepower that it's squads can use to lay down a bunch of suppressing fire. One of the advantages of the SAW is that it can either be belt fed (useful for defensive or siege warfare), or loaded with a 100-round clip (good for offensive & on the move attacks). Another advantage of the SAW is the railing on top of the gun, which allowed for a variety of scopes & sights to be attached.

C4: A plastic explosive used for demolition, and in the case of the U.S. military, used for breaking & entering, as well as setting up traps. What makes C4 so useful is that it can be shaped into just about anything you can think up, and it won't explode if it gets shot, put into the microwave, or dropped from a very high height.

GSG9 Weapons
Walther PPS Pistol: A more recent additon to the arsenal of Germany, the PPS was first introduced back in 2007 as a replacement for the venerable Walther PPK, which was designed more than 75 years ago. The PPS is a rather short pistol, measuring in at just 160mm. Despite it's small size, the PPS has a few interesting features, the most unique of which was the Quicksafe system installed into the pistol. When the backstrap of the pistol's grip is removed, then the gun can't fire at all until the backstrap is placed back on.

HK G36 Assault Rifle: Born in the early 90s, the HK G36 is Germany's premier assault rifle. The reason for it's creation & incorporation into the German military was that after the cancelling of the G11 & G41 rifles, they were left with the outdated G3, and it wasn't compatable with the standards NATO setup. Heckler & Koch, the famous German firearms company, set out to develop a cutting edge assault rifle, and in 1995, produced the HK G36. The gun was exported to Spain, and in 1999, produced the slightly modified HK G36E. The gun even found it's way into the hands of U.S. and British police.

MG 3 Heavy Machinegun: The modern day version of the devastating MG42 Heavy Machinegun of WW2, the MG3 is the German army's heavy firepower for infantry. After WW2, the original army adopted many of the guns from the war, which make sense considering that many of the veterans of the war were still in. Problem is, there were no more factories that could make the gun, and with the Nato regulations in place, using old ammunition was no longer possible. The Germany army adapted, and modified the MG42 into the MG 3. With a lower rate of fire, the MG 3 doesn't spend ammunition quickly as it's predicessor, but compensates by allowing for drums to be fitted to the gun, and sights & scopes being placed on the top.

Semtex: C4's bigger, meaner, nastier brother. Semtex is better than C4 because it's much harder to detect, even more stable and extreme temperatures, and explodes at a faster rate.
