Weapons cut from Half-Life 2

Originally, Half-Life 2 arsenal was vastly different from it's final look, and it contained some rather intersting examples

H&K MP5K
Type: Submachine gun Ammo: 9mm pistol Magazine: 30 rounds Range: CQB H&K MP5K is a compact version of German-designed SMG, the H&K MP-5, with short bareel and therefore a possibility of being concealed MP5K was first considered to be HL2's SMG (taking into account the MP-5 SMG from HL1), but soon enough it was cut and replaced with more futuristic like SMG (resembling the MP7)

AK-47
Type: Assault Rifle Ammo: 7,62x39mm M43 Magazine: 30 rounds Rate of Fire: 650 rpm Accuracy: Moderate Range: Close to Medium The AK-47 is simple, but effective Russian-designed assault rifle, invented in 1947 by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is inexpensive to manufacture and easy to clean and maintain. Its ruggedness and reliability are legendary. The large gas piston, generous clearances between moving parts, and tapered cartridge case design allow the gun to endure large amounts of foreign matter and fouling without failing to cycle. This reliability comes at the cost of accuracy, as the looser tolerances do not allow the precision and consistency that are required of more accurate firearms. It is chambered for 7.62x39mm rounds and uses 30 round magazines. AK-47 was planned to be a weapon of choice for Resistance, but it was cut due to gameplay and balance reasons Trivia: Considering the numbers of AK-47 that were manufactured prior to 1998 (Black Mesa Incident), it is highly possible that AK-47s exist in Half-Life universe and are being used by ResistanceIn early HL2 release versions AK-47 could be spawned via the console upon typing "give weapon_ar1"

OICW
(under construction) XM-29 OICW (Objective Individual Combat Weapon) was considered to by Combine Overwatch's weapon of choice but in final version it was replaced by OSIPR
