** A number of weapons were cut during development; the Luger P08, Mauser C96, Winchester M1897 shotgun, and a single-barreled shotgun were considered, and the flamethrower briefly used in one level was meant to be wielded and carried like the other weapons. All of these were scrapped because the developers felt there were too many weapons in the game as it is. The Springfield rifle was also going to have variants with different attachments, such as bayonets and sniper scopes.

A Colt Python was also present in early development, though since the Python wasn't introduced until the 1950s, it's doubtful that it was ever meant to be used in the final game; just a placeholder for testing purposes until research began on firearms that were more appropriate for the time period.
