We're seeing alot of new weapons in this DLC and there is also a new weapon skin for NATO weapons. Here the known weapons that are going to be released although there are supposedly weapons and uniforms that haven't been shown because they are being kept secret for the COOP campaign.
ALL of the details below are officially released by the ArmA 3 developers on the APEX website page.
AKS-74U 5.45 mm Assault Rifle
The AKS-74U is basically a shortened AK-74, which enabled significant production savings. Like the
AK-74, this variant is also chambered in 5.45x39 mm, but its compact dimensions make it suitable for special forces, vehicle crews, police patrols, etcetera. However, the lower muzzle velocity makes the
AKS-74U effective up to around 400 meters only.
AKM 7.62 mm Assault Rifle
The AKM gas-operated assault rifle with a rotating bolt is a modernized version of the older AK-47. Its improvements over the AK-47 made mass manufacturing simpler, but also decreased the weight, and increased accuracy, of the weapon. The gun's exceptional wear and corrosion resistance has been preserved.
AK-12 7.62 mm Assault Rifle
The AK-12 is a modern assault rifle designed to replace the legendary AK-74 as the general issue weapon for the Russian army. The weapon introduces many improvements over its predecessors: better recoil control, suitable for various ammunition types, compatibility with several accessories, and better ergonomics. This particular version is chambered in 7.62x39 mm, so it trades a bit of accuracy for a bigger punch and better penetration.
LIM-85 5.56 mm Machine Gun
The light infantry machine gun 85 is an iteration of a special purpose weapon. Combining a high fire-rate and relatively easy maintenance, it was adopted by several armies around the world. It features standard accessory rails and 200-round box 5.56x45 mm magazines. It weighs 7.1 kilograms, which is less than its predecessors.
RPG-7 Launcher
The RPG-7 is a portable, reusable, unguided, shoulder-launched, anti-tank, rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Its ruggedness, simplicity, low cost and effectiveness, has made it the most widely used anti-armor weapon in the world. Currently, around 40 countries use the weapon and it is manufactured in several variants by nine countries. It’s also popular with guerrilla forces. The RPG has been used in almost all conflicts since the mid-1960s, from the Vietnam War to the more recent conflicts in the Pacific area.
PM 9 mm Pistol
The PM is a Russian semi-automatic pistol, which became the Soviet Union's standard military and police side arm in 1951. Although its nominal caliber was 9.0 mm, the actual bullet was 9.22 mm in diameter, since caliber in Russia is measured between the grooves and not the lands of the rifling. Being shorter and wider, the 9 mm cartridge is thus incompatible with pistols chambered for 9×19 mm cartridges and vice-versa.
SPAR-16 5.56 mm Assault Rifle
The SPAR-16 is a standard issue assault rifle of CTRG units in Pacific, chambered for 5.56 mm ammunition. The gun is a reliable rifle compatible with a large number of accessories. Multiple variants of this rifle exist, each suitable for a different role. The SPAR-16 GL is equipped with an underslung grenade launcher, the SPAR-16S with its thicker barrel and drum magazine works as a light support weapon.
CAR-95 5.8 mm Assault Rifle
A bullpup style assault rifle used by CSAT Pacific forces. It works as a common platform for different weapon types: a standard rifle, GL variant with attached grenade launcher, and a light support version with a longer barrel and drum magazine. The CAR-95 uses polymer materials in its construction and fires 5.8×42 mm small-caliber, high-velocity bullets.
CMR-76 6.5 mm Marksman Rifle
Designated marksman rifle of an Eastern origin. It is a gas operated, semi-automatic rifle of a bullpup construction. The housing is made of polymer. The rifle is chambered in 6.5 mm and therefore is most suited to ranges from 500 to 700 meters.
The CMR-76 is missing both the sides and the bottom rails but is equipped with a bipod by default.
SPAR-17 7.62 mm Marksman Rifle
The SPAR-17 designated marksman rifle is in many ways similar to the SPAR-16. The main difference is the chambering to 7.62 mm which also means a longer, thicker barrel and more weight. Thanks to the more powerful ammunition, the SPAR-17 is most suitable for ranges from 600 to 800 meters. The rifle offers a single and full auto mode and is, like the SPAR-16, compatible with a large number of accessories.
Protector 9 mm Submachine Gun
A lightweight, air-cooled, selective fire, delayed blowback operated submachine gun with a roller-delayed bolt. The compact size, accuracy and high rate of fire of the Protector are highly regarded and the gun is used in many variants by numerous military, law enforcement, intelligence and security organizations all around the world.
Perhaps the most scary of all the weapons...
Type 115 6.5 mm
The Type 115 is a modern multi weapon. It consists of two separate weapons combined into a single unit: a lower semi auto rifle chambered to fire .50 rounds and an upper automatic/semi auto rifle chambered in 6.5 mm. The gun can be modified with attachments to fulfill various roles in battle. Its versatility turns every soldier into a universal threat against both infantry and armored targets.
Also here are some of the new weapons skins
How many of these weapons might we end up seeing ourselves against in roleplay?
Are these weapons going to be expensive?
Will the police on Tanoa get the new green skins?
Will police get new SMG's?
So many questions!
