* ''VideoGame/ReturnToCastleWolfenstein'' features a Mauser Kar98k rifle which is slow-firing but powerful, and can be upgraded with a scope fairly early on in the game, making it a true sniper rifle.

It also instantly kill humanoid enemies but its ammo is ''extremely'' [[TooAwesomeToUse rare so it must be used wisely]].
Added DiffLines:
* The flamethrower in ''VideoGame/ReturnToCastleWolfenstein'' is portrayed fairly realistically as firing a stream of fire at a relatively long range, it can kill enemies in two "puffs" to conserve ammo (it's sadistically satisfying to make Nazis scream as they burn). It also causes an InterfaceScrew when used on you.
Added DiffLines:
* ''VideoGame/ReturnToCastleWolfenstein'' features the "Venom" gun, a handheld [[GatlingGood minigun]] fed with a chain of 500 12.7mm bullets (though the design specs you find in one level show it firing 7.92mm, indicating it may have been changed in development).
