Characters

Burns

Sturmovik. He is the team leader.
HG - Hand Grenade - Hand grenade: a very useful thing if the enemy is hiding behind the fence.
MG - Machine Gun - gun: functionality similar to M-arms of the Contra, but shoots bursts.

Smith

Sniper. R - Rifle - Rifle: the same as the gun only shoots on (pistol shot flying about a third of the screen).
HM - Homing Missile - homing missile: rocket sends the nearest enemy. Of the minuses need to mention the possibility of a missile to shoot down the bad flight and accuracy.

Iron

for heavy weapons specialist.
FT - Flame Thrower - Flamethrower: range is very low, about two players of growth, but it has a greater damage (approximately 4-fold) compared to small arms. You can also kill enemies through walls.
B - Bazooka - reactive anti-tank grenade launcher, has a standard damage.

Beans

Mine-laying specialist.
TB - Time Bomb - a time bomb: an explosion is given 2-3 seconds. The explosion of small radius, but more damage (approximately 4-fold) compared to small arms.
TM - Termite Mine - thermite mine: the same as the TB, only to explode immediately and range anymore.
It should be noted that the weapon is not the only feature that separates the characters, the second fairly important characteristic is the distance of the jump. Burns is the biggest, in SINS - smaller and almost equal to the length of Smith's jump, but the Iron is very sluggish due to which the overcoming of even small breaks becomes not an easy task for him. In addition, Beans automatically crouches when not moving, and when you press down - in the position of lying.

Bonuses

TI - Strengthening shot: an additional projectile during firing. RA - Undefeated jump: When a character is jumping, he is invulnerable. P (Pistol) - basic weapon.
