Weapons:
================
Delta Force Land Warrior will offer a wide range of weapons for you to choose fr
om. In this
demo you are limited to these 5 weapons:
K-Bar Combat Knife
.45 SOCOM Pistol, silenced

OICW
The OICW is a combination weapon system of a 5.56mm rifle and a 20mm grenade lau
ncher. It
has a single trigger for both barrels, ambidextrous switches and is built as lig
htweight as
possible. The rifle part may be detached from the grenade launcher and used as a
stand-alone
weapon. It functions very similar to other modern assault rifles because it is a
variant of the HK
G36. Note: The character "Gas Can" posseses a special ability that allows him t
o lob
grenades at the range of the target in his crosshairs. You do not have to manua
lly pitch the
crosshair up, just point and shoot.
MM-1
The MM-1 is a 12-round semi-automatic launcher capable of delivering 40mm tube l
aunched
grenades. Its relatively high rate of fire and unmatched precision makes it a d
evastating weapon
on the battlefield. The MM-1 is a heavy weapon and the 40mm grenades it uses ar
e bulky
limiting the maximum load a soldier can carry. Note: The character "Gas Can" po
sseses a special
ability that allows him to lob grenades at the range of the target in his crossh
airs. You do not have
to manually pitch the crosshair up, just point and shoot.
6 Fragmentation Grenades
CHANGING WEAPON MODES
Certain weapons can be fired in different modes (such as semi or automatic). Pre
ss the weapon
key multiple times to cycle modes.
USING THE SCOPE
You will be more accurate if you adjust the range of your scope with the Z and X
keys. You may
also adjust the magnification level of the scope with the E key.
MOVING AND FIRING
As you run, your aim will get less accurate. When you stop, you will notice your
crosshairs
becoming tighter.
