Battlefield 3 Weapons List

In this portion of our Battlefield 3 Guide, we will be going over all the weapons available to you in Battlefield 3, covering not only general weapon stats but also the best strategies for using each of these weapon types.

We have broken this Battlefield 3 Weapons list down into 6 Categories: Assault Weapons, Engineer Weapons, Recon Weapons, Support Weapons, Global Weapons, and Pistols.

The kit-specific weapons are only usable when playing that particular class and are unlocked by leveling up that class. Global weapons are weapons that once unlocked can be used with any kit and are typically unlocked via normal levels. Pistols are also unlocked from leveling and are used as a secondary weapon in conjunction with a normal gun.

Below, you will find a list of Rifles used by the Assault class, in alphabetical order (not unlock order). These are typically Assault Rifles which are overall effective weapons from any range but do best a short to mid-range combat.

• AEK-971
• AK-74M
• AN-94
• F2000
• G3A3
• KH2002
• M16A3
• M416

BF3 Weapons List - Engineer Class

The Engineer class primarily has the shortest range weapons of any class and is the only class which has true submachine guns as a primary weapon. This is because Engineers often find themselves needing to defend themselves at very close range as enemies try to storm the mechanical things engineers may be controlling or repairing.

Note that the Engineer uses Carbines as well. In real life, Carbines are basically the same thing as Assault Rifles, but in Battlefield 3, it means that you get different achievements and unlocks (i.e. a Carbine Ribbon instead of an Assault Ribbon).

You can visit our Battlefield 3 Engineer Kit Weapons List for a full Engineer guns list or you can click on a specific weapon name below to find out more about that particular gun below (guns are in alphabetical order rather than unlock order):

BF3 Weapons List - Support Kit

The Support kit primarily consists of light machine guns. Contrary to the name, a "light" machine gun is a very large weapon and the largest personal weapon in the game. A machine gun by popular usage is actually an assault rifle or submachine gun, whereas the term "machine gun" actually refers to a large, typically mounted gun which is far to large for a person to carry.

Light machine guns tend to have very large clips and be rather inaccurate. They allow you to send out a lot of bullets and spray the enemy from a distance. This will keep them pinned down while the rest of your team moves up.

You can either check out our Battlefield 3 Support Kit Weapons List for an overview of each weapon or click on a specific weapon name below to find out more about that weapon:

• M240B
• M249
• M27 IAR
• M60E4
• PKP Pecheneg
• RPK-74M

Battlefield 3 Weapons List Conclusion

In total, you will have access to dozens of different weapons in Battlefield 3. Even if you only spent a few hours with each gun, it would take you weeks before you got to thoroughly experience each one! I recommend sticking to a gun that feels right to you and mastering it rather than never using the same gun twice.

Try them all of the Battlefield 3 weapons and then go exclusively with the one you like the best in order to master it. If you become great with one weapon, you will be much more effective then if you are just decent with every gun.
