II. Overview of FAQ

This guide will help you learn the various armaments that the Commandos
can utilize in their operations in Asia, Europe and in the Pacific. By
reading this guide, it'll help you determine what type of weapon should
you use in case that there are situations that will require you to shoot
your enemies in certain levels.

III. Overview of Weapons

The armaments that you will find in the game are mostly from the days of
World War II, meaning that you can't find modern weapons like a Galil or
a G3 rifle. You can usually find these weapons and their ammunition from
tied-up soldiers, cupboards, rifle racks, lockers and in other places
where armaments can be kept in or hidden in. Use these to your
advantage, as some or all of these can help you either complete certain
missions or all missions.

IV. Lethal Weapons

Knife:

Hot Key (Default): A
# of weapon type: 1
Range: Medium
Description: A hand-held combat weapon. There are unlimited knives
            that you can find in various levels. But, there are two
            people who can use them. You can either stab at enemies
            or simply toss the knives at your enemies. Tiny and Fins
            are the ones who are excellent knife users. Don't use
            this bloody weapon too often. Otherwise, you can invite
            some unwanted attention and trouble.
Used by: Tiny and Fins

Type:

Fairbairn-Sykes Combat Knife

Origin: Britain
Limited: No
Capacity: Unlimited
In service: 1940-present

Harpoon Gun:

Hot Key (Default): L
# of weapon type: 1
Range: Short
Description: A silent but deadly underwater weapon. This is meant to
            impale out small fish and other maritime animals. But in
            case of this conflict, a skilled naval diver can use this
            weapon to stab, spear and slay out both enemy naval
            divers and deadly maritime animals such as sharks and
            walruses.
Used by: Fins

Type:

M1922

Origin: Unknown
Limited ammo: No
Capacity: Unlimited
In service: Unknown

Mantrap:

Hot Key (Default): P
# of weapon type: 1
Range: None
Description: Looks like a bear trap, except that this one can kill
            people. Useful for lone enemy soldiers who go on patrol
            routes alone. Allied soldiers won't be affected by this.
Used by: Tread

Type:

Mantrap

Origin: Unknown
Limited: No
Capacity: Unlimited
In service: Unknown

Syringe:

Hot Key (Default): A
# of weapon type: 1
Range: None
Description: Another hand-held weapon. This isn't a combat weapon, but
            it's a perfect weapon for covert missions. But, this can
            also turn to a deadly weapon. One dosage will stun the
            enemy. Another one will knock out the enemy and the
            third one will kill the enemy. A useful weapon for Spooky
            since he can't use his fists for silent combat.
Used by: Spooky

Type:

Syringe

Origin: Unknown
Limited ammo: Yes
Capacity: 10 shots

Pistol:

Hot Key (Default): G
# of weapon type: 3

            stages, you can obtain Japanese and German pistols from
            enemy soldiers or from places where they are kept or
            hidden in. You'll need to fire a lot of bullets (around
            7, I think) to kill enemy troops.

In service: 1942-1950

Molotov Cocktail

Hot Key (Default): S

            irregular forces, mostly guerrillas, rebels and
            terrorists. This is not only used in the open field, but
            also used by throwing it in and out of doors, in and out
            of windows, and in and out of trapdoors. Also handy as an
            ambush weapon. Be careful about using this weapon, as the
            results of the Molotov Cocktail's handiwork can invite
            some unexpected problems.
Used by: Tread

Type:

M1934

Origin: Unknown
Limited ammo: Yes
Capacity: 10 bottles
In service: Unknown

Hand Grenade

Hot Key (Default): A

            doors, in and out of windows, and in and out of
            trapdoors. You can also use this to ambush the enemy.

            weapon.

Origin: Unknown
Limited ammo: Yes

In service: May 1915-1970

Anti-Personnel Mine

Hot Key (Default): O
# of weapon type: 1
Range: None
Description: Another anti-infantry weapon. This is primarily meant to
            lay ambushes and traps against enemy troops. You can
            either lay in the open field or put some "bait" on top of
            it to attract some attention. If the enemy laid it, only
            Inferno can detect and disarm it with the Mine Detector.
            Whiskey can also detect mines, but can't disarm them.
Used by: Inferno

Origin: Unknown
Limited ammo: Yes
Capacity: 10 mines
In service: Unknown

Remote Control Bomb

Hot Key (Default): S
# of weapon type: 1
Range: None

            than the Time Bomb, since you can have all the time you
            want to set the bomb. You can just click on its icon or

Type:

Remote Control Bomb

Origin: Unknown
Limited ammo: No
Capacity: Unlimited
In service: Unknown

Time Bomb

            on it. You only have 10 and I repeat, 10 FULL SECONDS to
            get the heck out of the place where you planted the

Capacity: 10 bombs
In service: Unknown

Flame Thrower

Hot Key (Default): Z
# of weapon type: 1
Range: Medium
Description: Used in flame warfare to torch out enemy bunkers and
            foxholes. It has a fuel reserve attached to it, so it's
            quite limited. Don't waste it and instead, save it for
            ambushes and enemy counter attacks, since its power
            is extremely strong.
Used by: Inferno

Type:

M2-2

Origin: Unknown (Flame Thrower project started in Germany at the start
                of World War I)
Limited ammo: Yes
Capacity: 500 gas reserves
In service: Since 1914

Booby Trap

Used by: Inferno and Tread
How to use: Useful for ambushes against enemy personnel. Let Tread
           operate his trip wire. Once he's done, let Inferno place
           a hand grenade inside the trap. Afterwards, wait for the
           enemy soldier to walk or run across the bomb-laden trap.
           Be sure to get ready to take action after the bullets
           fly.

V. Non-Lethal Weapons

Fists

Hot Key (Default): Q
# of weapon type: 1
Range: None
Description: Used for mostly hand-to-hand combat. But, these are also
            used to knock out enemy soldiers. This is the most
            "deadliest" stealth weapon that can be used. But be
            warned, they'll be out cold for a short while.
Used by: All, except Lips and Spooky

Smoke Bomb

Hot Key (Default): K
# of weapon type: 1
Range: Long
Description: This handy device helps you sneak around enemy-occupied
            territory. When used, it releases a black cloud of smoke
            that will hinder the enemy's ability to see your own men.
            You can also use this to confuse the enemy or to hide
            your men behind certain locations. This'll halt not only
            the ability to see, but to hear also.
Used by: Tread

Type:

MKII

Origin: Unknown
Limited ammo: Yes
Capacity: 10 bombs
In service: Unknown


CS Grenade

Hot Key (Default): O
# of weapon type: 1
Range: Long
Description: The most useful of all stealth weapons. When thrown to
            enemy soldiers, they'll be knocked out and will remain
            out cold. The only catch that you'll have is that the
            gas will keep them knocked out for a short time. So,
            you'll have to hurry.
Used by: Tread

Type:

CS Grenade

Origin: Unknown
Limited ammo: Yes
Capacity: 10 grenades
In service: Unknown

Trip Wire

Hot Key (Default): D
# of weapon type: 1
Range: None
Description: A handy stealth weapon to have around if Tread's with
            you. This is used in open paths such as open doorways.
            When used, Tread will tie up one end of the wire to the
            open path and doing so to the other side. Any enemy
            soldier who walks to the wire will fall down and be
            unconscious. Useful when luring hard-to-get enemy
            personnel to the open.
Used by: Tread

Type:

Trip Wire

Origin: Unknown
Limited ammo: No
Capacity: Unlimited
In service: Unknown


Wine Bottle

Hot Key (Default): P
# of weapon type: 1
Range: None
Description: A handy weapon for Lips, since she can't use her fists to
            knock out cold enemy personnel. She'll swing the wine
            bottle on the heads of enemy soldiers. But just like the
            fists of your own men, they'll be in comatose for a short
            period of time.
Used by: Lips
