- 1874 Sharpses
- A famous revolver for many westerns, the Colt Single Action Army has seen plenty of military service, production ends, and production restarts. While originally in a large amount of chamberings, it is mostly found in .45 Colt chamberings today. While reloading is slow due to the lack of a swing-out cylinder, it was still much faster than earlier revolvers of the time thanks to using metallic cartridges. It's also sometimes referred to as the Peacemaker, Model P, M1873 or shortened to SAA.
- A powerful military rifle originally chambered in .30-03 Springfield, developed to replace the US Army's older Krag rifle. It was quickly rechambered into the .30-06 caliber with its spitzer bullet. While an American rifle produced and developed around WW1, manufacturing couldn't keep up with demand, and saw service alongside the M1917 Enfield, a British rifle rechambered for the American 30-06. It saw service as a sniper rifle up to the Vietnam War, but nowadays is mainly used by civilians, either as hunting rifles or in collections.
- A very common 7.62x39 rifle, the SKS was designed to replace the Mosin Nagant bolt action rifle, while the AK-47 was meant to replace the PPSh-41. Mechanically, it resembles a much scaled down version of USSR's PTRS-41 semi automatic anti-tank rifle. However, due to the success of the AK-47, the SKS was replaced by it in the USSR's Red Army. It still saw service in other militaries, mainly other socialist states that got a surplus of SKS carbines from the USSR. Due to the amount produced, it is a commonplace rifle in many gun owning American households.
- AKMs
- Arguably the most mass-produced firearm ever made, the AKM has cemented itself in history, and a few country flags. Designed after WW2, it was meant to replace the PPSh-41's role, but soon became the main infantry rifle. While many believe it is a copy of the German StG-44, it more resembles an M1 Garand in operation. Despite it's age, it still sees plenty of use in conflicts today.

- The M1 Garand is a widely celebrated battle rifle, being one of the most mass-produced battle rifles in the world. It saw widespread use in the US military, being used extensively in WW2 and the Korean War. While its military use has dwindled down, being out of US service for more than 50 years, some of its mechanical influence still remains through rifles such as AKs or M14s. It still sees widespread use in civilian spaces as an accurate competition or hunting rifle.

Hints for adding a new word to the dictionary
- If the word is normally in all lowercase, such as the noun
wordor the verbdoes, add it in its lower-case form; if the word is a proper noun, such as the surnameGeorge, add it in its initial-caps form; if the word is an acronym or has special letter case, such as the acronymCDDAor the unitmW, add it by preserving the case of all the letters. A word in the dictionary will also match its initial-caps form (if the word is in all lowercase) and all-uppercase form, so a word should be added to the dictionary in its normal letter case even if used in a different letter case in a sentence. - For a word to be added to the dictionary, it should either be a real, properly-spelled modern American English word, a foreign loan word (including romanized foreign names), or a foreign or made-up word that is used consistently and commonly enough in the game. Intentional misspelling (including eye dialect) of a word should not be added unless it has become a common terminology in the game, because while someone may have a legitimate use for it, another person may spell it that way accidentally.
