Not only does it have the [[SawedOffShotgun sawed-off]] barrel & stock, but the player-character even flip-cocks it just like the titular robot from the film.

* AKA47: Subverted; while most of the weapons use names pretty much the same as their real-world counterparts, there are upgraded versions available that will often have a "MK.3" designation tacked on the end to denote their superiority to the vanilla versions. There's also a few weapons that play this trope straight; the "Robinson XCR" for example is in fact a Z-M LR 300; an M4-like assault rifle.

* [[BannedInChina Banned In Some Places]]: The game is only available in some regions, and regions where the game -is- available have some of the weapons unavailable, such as the US and Europe.
* BlingBlingBang: There are versions of various weapons in the game with rather flashy custom paint jobs which are meant to be highly upgraded, modified versions of their normal counterparts.
* BoomHeadshot: Shots to the head deal extra damage and are a one-shot kill with sniper rifles. Even has a special icon on the kill feed when a player scores one, regardless of what weapon they were using to do it.
* FriendlyFireproof: Friendly fire is disabled by default. Comes in handy when you're hammering away at an enemy and one of your buddies carelessly strays into your field of fire.
* JackOfAllStats: The Rifleman class is pretty much intended to be a middle ground between the Sniper and Pointman classes; more generalized stats and abilities than the other two, and has an assault rifle that is effective in both close and long-range combat, but is generally outperformed by the Pointman's submachine gun in close-quarters combat and the Sniper's rifle in long-range combat.
* {{Qurac}}: Some maps (such as "Scorpion") are set in generic middle-eastern locales.
* RussiansWithRustingRockets: The Neo Russian Federation faction; a near-future Russia under a new Communist regime engaging in an expansionist campaign against their European neighbors.
* StandardFPSGuns: Pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, hand grenades, rocket launchers, and sniper rifles.
* TankGoodness: The "Escort" game mode has the European Union faction escorting a Leopard 2A6 tank from one end of the map to the other. Players can even man the machine gun mounted atop the tank to lay down suppressing fire on the NRF faction. The NRF's objective is to delay the tank's advance for as long as possible, using [=RPG-7=] rocket launchers to disable it.
* TranslationConvention: The European Union faction, despite what the name implies, all speak English with either British or American accents. Averted with the NRF, who all speak Russian.
* ZombieApocalypse: The main premise of the "Infection" game mode.
