Iconic FPS weapons and their games

What this quiz covers

Some weapons are so memorable you can hear their reload sound in your head—this quiz is all about matching iconic FPS weapons to the games they’re known for.

Every question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can focus on recognition, franchise knowledge, and those tiny naming details that separate similar guns.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll sharpen your ability to link weapon names, silhouettes, and signature traits to the right title, series, or era.

To fit everyone, you can choose your question count and difficulty before starting; the overall difficulty is mixed so you’ll see a blend of easy classics and tougher deep cuts.

Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)

Many FPS series reuse weapon archetypes, so it’s easy to confuse similarly named rifles, “standard issue” pistols, or recurring shotguns across different franchises.

Pay attention to unique identifiers like alternate fire modes, manufacturer/faction naming, and whether a weapon is known for a specific role (e.g., one-shot headshots, splash damage, charge-up shots).

How difficulty is balanced

The quiz mixes well-known staples with less obvious picks to keep the run engaging without turning it into pure trivia torture.

• Don’t overthink: the most iconic association is usually the correct one
• Watch for near-identical names across sequels and reboots
• Use elimination: rule out franchises that don’t fit the weapon’s tech level
• Remember signature mechanics (charge, burst, hitscan, explosive)
• If you’re unsure, pick a shorter question count to learn patterns faster
