= Lists of weapons =
There is a total of '''694''' weapons in the Mazes, grouped into seven classes. Classes 1 through 4 are roughly referred to as '''firearms''' (even if they include weapons that are arguably not gunsfirearms, such as launchers, grenades, explosives, etc), while Classes 5 Long, 5 Short and Handgear (shortened to 5L, 5S, HG) are roughly referred to as '''melee weapons''' (even if they include weapons capable of ranged attacks, such as bows, crossbows, nailguns, etc).
* [[Class 1 weapons]]
* [[Class 5 Short weapons]]
* [[Class Handgear weapons]]
In addition, there are '''42''' [[Weapon accessories|weapon accessories]] that can also be considered weapons of their own:
* '''31''' [[Weapon accessories#Bayonets|bayonets]] ('''28''' that can be used as '''knife-bayonets''', '''1''' that is a non-knife bayonet, and '''2''' that are integrated to their host weapon)
* '''8''' [[Weapon accessories#Underbarrel grenade launchers|underbarrel grenade launchers]]
** This includes the '''GP-30 UGL-I''', an integrated version of the GP-30 which can be found on certain [[Groza-1|converted]] [[Groza-4|versions]] of the Groza rifles.
* '''3''' [[Weapon accessories#Underbarrel shotguns|underbarrel shotguns]]
When counting the weapon accessories listed above, the total weapon count is '''736'''.
= Weapons in the Mazes =
== Brand names ==
As a stylistic choice, the weapons in the Mazes are largely lifted from the real world, right down to brand names. Observant players may have noticed that the inhabitants of the Mazes are aware of these brand names and models, despite the fact that they are all manufactured at the same facilities, by the same factories and plants. This is explained by the fact that weapons with brand names in the Mazes were simply given these names by the engineers and workers responsible for manufacturing them, as a way to differentiate series and lines of weapons. The brand and model names simply happen to match exactly those found in the real world, even if there is technically no relation with any real-world person or country.(E.g. you will find [[Glock 17]] pistols, but there is no Gaston Glock in the Mazes.)
Though it may seem as though this kind of coincidence is contrived, keep in mind that this was done to avoid having to [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AKA47 rename] or [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlandNameProduct give bland names] to hundreds of different weapons, largely for the convenience of the players.
