Shotguns
Whether used for door breaching or highly lethal close quarters combat, a good tactical shotgun is an essential part of all anti-terrorist teams.

The SPAS-12 is a fully automatic combat shotgun capable of emptying its nine-round clip in 2.25s. This makes it ideal for quickly clearing a room of all hostiles.
Sub-Machine Guns

The preferred submachine gun of counter-terrorist operatives around the world, Heckler & Koch's MP5 is known for its reliability and accuracy, even when firing on full automatic. RAINBOW uses the 9mm MP5A4 fitted with single, triple, and full-auto trigger group.
Terrorists throughout the world fear Heckler & Koch's MP5SD. Its integral silencer is so effective that the report of the bullet is miniscule compared to the click of the bolt operating. RAINBOW uses the 9mm MP5SD5 whenever both accuracy and stealth are essential.
The HK MP5/10A2 is a product-improved variant of the venerable HK MP5 chambered for a 10mm round. The increased stopping power of the heavier round is offset by increased recoil. It is equipped with a single and full auto trigger group.

The Enfield L85A1 (also known as the Enfield Individual Weapon or SA80) is the standard infantry weapon of the British Army. Its bullpup design trades accuracy for maneuverability.
The standard weapon of the Austrian Army, the Steyr AUG is a futuristic looking assault rifle with a compact bullpup design. It is well suited for missions requiring the maneuverability of a submachine gun combined with the punch of an assault rifle.
When extra range or firepower is needed, RAINBOW turns to Colt's M16A2. Tried and true, it's 5.56 caliber easily pierces Level II body armor and has the longest range of any of RAINBOW's standard weapons. It comes standard with a single and three round trigger group.

Its massive length (1.55m) and weight (13.4 kg) make it the bulkiest and most powerful sniper rifle in RAINBOW's arsenal. Extreme care should be used in employing this weapon, as its high powered .50 Browning round can tear through multiple targets just as easily as it can through an engine block.
Arguably the most accurate off-the-shelf sniper rifle available. A favorite of police forces around the world, the PSG-1 comes standard with a 6x sight and fires the NATO 7.62 round.
The shortest sniper rifle used by the RAINBOW team, the Walther WA2000's bullpup design and light weight make it a favorite of snipers needing to move stealthily into difficult positions. Its powerful .300 Winchester round has more punch than the 7.62 NATO round.
Equipment
Capable of stunning observers with a combination bright flash and loud report, flashbangs are commonly tossed into rooms to 'prepare' rooms prior to entry.

Also known as distraction devices or stun grenades.
The M61 fragmentation grenade is the standard issue offensive grenade used by infantry throughout the world. While its blast radius is small, an overhand throw is still necessary to safely clear the blast radius in the open.
Breaching charges are used to explosively remove doors for rapid entry. Flashbangs do not need to be used in conjunction with a breaching charge as they stun, wound, or even kill anyone nearby.
The Heartbeat Sensor is capable of tracking a human heartbeat even through thick layers of concrete. It works by detecting the characteristic ultra-low-frequency electric field given off by a beating heart. In passive mode it scans a small full circle around the user; when the trigger is pulled it scans a larger cone straight ahead.
