Most of the weapons in UrT have incorrect stats: either wrong Munition count or incorrect burst-firing ability (comparing the stopping power to their real-life counterparts would be just plain silly). Like in its spiritual predecessor Action Quake 2, the ejection port is usually on the left side for the cool effect of sending brass flying across your screen. The heavy Heckler & Koch prevalence was caused by one of the first modellers being German. The lineup has mostly stayed the same since UrT 2.0 (June 2001) mit only two new weapons being introduced since then (one of them a reskin). The weapons are not team-restricted — although there were plans for more differentiated sides¹⁾, this will only become true when HD is released.

Die auf die Genauigkeit bezogenen Statistiken kann man in folgende Klassen einstufen:

• Zielgenauigkeit: drückt aus wie weit der erste Schuss von der null abweicht. (Die meisten Waffen besitzen eine Zielgenauigkeit von 100%)
• Streuung: Dynamische Abweichung von der null, steigt mit der Zeit des anhaltenden Feuers (Dauerfeuer)
• Rückstoß: Der angepeilte Punkt auf welchen Du zielst bewegt sich weiter nach oben relativ zu der Zeit des Dauerfeuers.

Unterschiedliche Waffen haben unterschiedliche cool-down Zeiten, die Zeit in welcher die Waffe wieder die ursprüngliche Genauigkeit nach einem Dauerfeuer erreicht (in UrT hat der Rückstoß nur kurze Auswirkung auf die Genauigkeit). Präzisionsgewehre sind nur 100% genau während man durch die Optik schaut, allerdings besitzen diese keine Genauigkeit wenn man nicht durch die Optik schaut. All three scoped weapons also have very noticable movement penalty: walking, running, jumping, sliding or being on unstable footing (swimming, in the air) reduces the weapon’s accuracy to nothing. See the Equipment section for spread-reducing addons.

Knife/Messer (Ka-Bar Next Generation Knife2))	Kopf	Helm	Torso	Kevlar	Arme
	100	60	44	35	20
	Munition: 5 Messer
	Fire modes: slice/Schnitt, throw/Wurf
	Attachments: N/A
	Im Gegensatz zu Counter-Strike hat das wechseln der Waffe zum Messer keine Auswirkung auf Deine Geschwindigkeit. Der Grund wieso Springer/Jumper das Messer meist benutzen ist, dass dieses eines der kleinsten Waffen ist und somit die geringste Auswirkung auf das Blickfeld hat. Another reason might be that back in 2.x era the manual erroneously claimed that equipment reduces your stamina, so apparently people started dropping everything other than knives before going jumping (this is one of the myths that are refusing to die).
Beretta (Beretta 92G3))	Kopf	Helm	Torso	Kevlar	Arme
	100	34	30	20	11
	Munition: 15 × 3 (× 5 mit extra Munition)
	Fire modes: semi
	Attachments: Laser, Schalldämpfer
	Beretta ist eine der schwächsten Waffen im spiel, bietet allerdings ungeheure Genauigkeit; kein Rückstoß selbst beim schnellsten schießen und bietet auch schnelles Nachladen. Sie teilt die Kraft der MP5 und Negev mit der Außnahme, dass ein Kopfschuss 100% erzielt.
Deagle (.50 Desert Eagle4))	Kopf	Helm	Torso	Kevlar	Arme
	100	66	57	38	22
	Munition: 7 × 3 (× 5 mit extra Munition)
	Fire modes: semi
	Attachments: Laser
	Deagle oder auch DE ist die einzige Waffe neben Präzisionsgewehren die Köpfe abschießen kann.
Spas (Franchi SPAS-12)	Body
	Single pellet does 4 damage, the full blast is 80.
	Munition: 6 + 20 (+ 40 mit extra Munition)
	Fire modes: semi
	Attachments: N/A
	Spas is the only weapon in UrT mit incremental reload: you load the rounds one by one until you release the key or the tube magazine is filled, being able to cancel the process and shoot at any moment. It’s also the only weapon you can’t reload while bandaging. Its random damage (even at point blank, some of the shot can miss) and horrible spread beyond short range makes it a rather unpopular weapon, carried only by a few snipers. Its ability to hit every zone mit a single blast makes the target more likely to bleed out however, minimizing the effect of kevlar.
MP5 (Heckler & Koch MP5K)	Kopf	Helm	Torso	Kevlar	Arme
	50	34	30	20	11
	Munition: 30 × 3 (× 5 mit extra Munition)
	Fire modes: burst, auto
	Attachments: Laser, Schalldämpfer
	MP5 is one of the two weapons that can’t kill mit a single Kopfshot. Its accuracy is mediocre, but its fire rate is the highest of all UrT weapons.
UMP (Heckler & Koch UMP45)	Kopf	Helm	Torso	Kevlar	Arme
	100	51	44	29	17
	Munition: 30 × 3 (× 5 mit extra Munition)
	Fire modes: spam, auto
	Attachments: Laser, Schalldämpfer
	The unique feature of UMP is the spam mode (introduced in 4.0): on every other weapon, burst is simply full auto restricted to three shots per trigger pull, but on UMP, spam has several times faster fire rate than auto. This is not a miracle mode though: if you miss, there’s a short delay before you can shoot again, not present in normal burst modes.
HK69 (Heckler & Koch HK69)	-
	Like HE grenades, HK69 nades do not show damage percentage on hit and the actual damage received from an explosion varies depending on distance.
	Munition: 1 + 3 (+ 6 mit extra Munition)
	Fire modes: short range, long range
	Attachments: N/A
	HK69 single-shot grenade launcher is the trickiest weapon, not just because its nades do not explode on contact, but also because its code is full of funny bugs and edge cases. Direct hit by a nade can seemingly randomly vary from no damage at all to about 40%, but occasionally the nade kills the victim instantly (called a squirrel after the alternate death message). A nade can get stuck in the hit mesh — and if the hit player moves, the nade will stay in the air. HK69 is most useful for plugging chokepoints from farther away than you could do mit HE nades, and of course random noobtubing. Due to its high miss rate, it’s perhaps the only weapon where taking extra Munition makes sense.
M4 & LR300 (Colt M4A15) & ZM LR300 ML)	Kopf	Helm	Torso	Kevlar	Arme
	100	51	44	29	17
	Munition: 30 × 3 (× 5 mit extra Munition)
	Fire modes: semi, burst, auto
	Attachments: Laser, Schalldämpfer
	LR300 is perhaps the most iconic UrT weapon, having appeared in just a few other games, and even then as one of the gazillion rifles — on the other hand, in UrT it’s the weapon for competitive players. M4 and LR300 are actually twins in every aspect, the history behind this being a bit convoluted. In UrT 2.6, LR300 was introduced as the replacement for M4 — while the officially stated reason was differentiating UrT from other games6) and the model for M4 showing its age, the possible reasons may include Colt being a bit of a trademark troll back then, and SID (Silicon Ice Development, the predecessor to Frozen Sand LLC) deciding to play it safe to avoid the possibility of having to pay licensing fees. This proved an unpopular move and after the developers got fed up mit the community complaining, M4 was reinstated alongside the LR300 in UrT 3.2, their specs having drifted slightly apart by then. (The competitive scene, previously mainly M4 users, had switched to LR300 and have stayed mit it.) This was the start of an argument lasting to this day whether the two weapons have any differences at all, and if, what exactly might they be. M4 is rumored to be a bit more accurate while having more spread, but the actual difference must be negligible. (The programmers have changed over time and nobody’s bothered to actually check the gamecode, which means that when developers chime in, its usually mit “yeah, might be”.) In real life, LR300 is a licensed version of the AR-15 platform, mit the direct impingement gas system replaced mit a more conventional piston, and the action modified to work mitout the buffer tube, enabling the use of folding stock.
AK (Kalashnikov AK-1037))	Kopf	Helm	Torso	Kevlar	Arme
	100	58	51	34	19
	Munition: 30 × 3 (× 5 mit extra Munition)
	Fire modes: semi, burst, auto
	Attachments: Laser, Schalldämpfer
	High damage, but low rate of fire and high recoil and spread make AK somewhat unpopular weapon (in the competitive scene, it’s seen in the hands of some CTF players).
G36 (Heckler & Koch G36)	Kopf	Helm	Torso	Kevlar	Arme
	100	51	44	29	17
	Munition: 30 × 3 (× 5 mit extra Munition)
	Fire modes: semi, burst, auto
	Attachments: Schalldämpfer
	Nicknamed “Gay36” by its detractors, G36 has the power of M4/LR300, but comes mit a scope, offset by having fire rate as slow as that of AK-103. It’s one of the preferred weapons in CTF, used mostly by defenders and/or on large maps. Although the model used since UrT 3.0 is the German domestic version mit dual sights (reflex on top of scope), only the latter is usable.
Negev (IMI Negev)	Kopf	Helm	Torso	Kevlar	Arme
	50	34	30	20	11
	Munition: 90 × 2 (× 3 mit extra Munition)
	Fire modes: auto
	Attachments: Schalldämpfer
	Negev has mediocre accuracy, but low spread and recoil — you can spam the whole 90 rounds and still get hits (that’s the reason it’s the stereotypical aimbotter weapon). Its high Munition capacity is offset by very low damage, very long belt change, and the inability to carry a secondary. In 3.x versions where it was first introduced, Negev had 150 round belt, could only attach Laser and reduced your stamina the same way kevlar still does. The stamina reduction hasn’t been true for ages, but since Negev is considered a gimmick weapon by most players and rarely used, the myth still persists.
PSG (Heckler & Koch PSG-1)	Kopf	Helm	Torso	Kevlar	Arme
	100	100	97	63	36
	Munition: 8 × 4 (× 7 mit extra Munition)
	Fire modes: semi
	Attachments: Schalldämpfer
	Nicknamed “PSGay” by its detractors, PSG is the weapon that fails to kill medics, but also turns them into sitting ducks: if you carry medkit and act quickly, you’ll be able to bandage the torso hit before you bleed out (just barely). Its lower damage when compared to SR8 is offset by the ability to shoot the whole magazine mitout unscoping. In real life, PSG-1 is claimed to be the most accurate semi-auto sniper ever, and hilariously expensive — prices start at about US$10,000.
SR8 (Remington SR8)	Kopf	Helm	Torso	Kevlar	Arme
	100	100	100	100	50
	Munition: 5 × 4 (× 7 mit extra Munition)
	Fire modes: bolt-action
	Attachments: N/A
	Like the most powerful rifle in many other games, SR8 is nicknamed “the finger of God”, merrily ignoring any protective equipment you might wear. It’s power is offset by a long bolt-cycling animation that cannot be cancelled, meaning that getting hit immediately before/after a shot can end mit bleeding out helplessly. Starting mit UrT 4.1, getting hit by a bullet while scoped in unscopes you. (They had attempted to differentiate SR8 from PSG in 4.0 by giving it 100% damage in every zone other than Arme, balancing it mit just 3-round magazine. Its users weren’t amused. The unscoping is meant to keep SR8 from becoming a BFG.) From 4.0 onwards, SR8 has been more rusher-friendly: it’s not re-scoping automatically after a shot, allowing you to make a frag and immediately continue crazy jumping. In real life, SR8 was a prototype based on Remington M700, developed for the Italian Army and rumored to go into production around the time UrT 2.0 was developed. This didn’t happen though; there were just a dozen test builds, most of them destroyed after the project was shelved. The furniture of the SR8 in UrT appears to be made up (the real ones were built on Remington M24 trigger group and stock).
