Talk:IMFDB Info: The History of M16s in Film and Television

Lynxoid:

==M16A1s==

The page says the following:

''"So all Slab sided rifles are Colt. '''All correct A1 style rifles are probably going to be some other's manufacturer's gun.'''"''

Is this really true? I do realize that it would be easier and cheaper for most armories to buy civilian ARs and convert them to auto, but didn't some of them actually purchase large numbers of transferable LEO/mil-spec M16A1s in the 1970s and 80s? The M4A1 used by Colin Farrell in ''[[S.W.A.T.]]'', for instance, was assembled on a transferable M16A1 lower, and if you look at the picture at LMO's site, it appears to have Colt markings. So there must be at least ''some'' genuine Colt M16A1s circulating around the industry. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:43, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

:Right. This page needs more refined wordsmithing. All correct A1 style rifles that are not true M16A1s (i.e. all converted full auto rifles from semi auto rifles, WILL be other manufacturers. Colt never made a correct A1 for civilian sales until they JUMPED to the A2 style of rifle). But in the same page you quote from, I wrote that Full Auto M16A1s which were property marked U.S. Government were sold to Title II dealers and manufacturers or sold to Law Enforcement, who then later sold them to private individuals with Title II paperwork (All before May 1986 of course).

: ''"quote: The only real M16A1s in movie armories were Law Enforcement Sales Models, which could be acquired if the Armory had a Title II sales or Manufacturing License with ATF."''

:The Army would not sell their old M16A1s, but Law Enforcement dealers or police departments or federal law enforcement agencies sold U.S. property marked M16A1 rifles all the time to Title II dealers who sold them to the general public (with Class III clearances of course). I've seen US Property marked Full auto guns in the collections of gun enthusiasts who had their Class III Tax Stamp, etc. (always in gun free states, that are NOT like California). [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 23:48, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

::Ah, OK, I missed that part you quoted. Out of curiosity, do you know how many transferrable Colt M16A1s there are in the industry? (I don't mean an exact number, but are they relatively common in circulation?) Also, since you saw the ''[[Scarface]]'' M16A1 up close, was that a genuine Colt specimen? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 15:48, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

== Typo ==
In the Development of the M16A2 entry in the Movie Use section, it says ''remember Colt still insisted on continuing the slab sided lower receiver of the SP1''. Shouldn't it say ''slab-sided '''upper''' receiver''? [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:41, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

:No, MPM got it right. The early Colt AR-15 A2s (the ones with the M16A2-style ''upper'' receivers) still had the exact same slab-side ''lower'' receiver as the AR-15 Sporter models. My uncle's AR-15 A2, which he purchased brand-new in 1987, has a slab-side lower (no fencing around the magazine release button) but an A2 upper. I believe that around 1989 or so, Colt did actually start offering AR-15 A2s with the correct mil-style lower and the fencing around the mag release, but then shortly after that, the anti-AW crusade began and Colt chickened out and discontinued the AR-15 A2, replacing it with the "politically correct" Match Target rifles. So there wouldn't have been very many Colt AR-15 A2s with that style lower receiver available to civvies. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 15:52, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

== We need more of these pages ==

I think this is a good page that teaches readers about the history of a particular gun and its place in movie history. I think there should be a page on other popular weapons like the MP5 or the 1911. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]]
::don't discriminate AK...

:::I agree, this page is really neat and we should definitely have ones for other weapons (AKs, H&Ks, and 1911s are a good place to start). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:23, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

::::That's all fine and good, but it's one thing to declare that we need something, another to actually do it. :) Glad to see you're volunteering! ;) LOL! FYI It took MONTHS for me to track down Colt records and articles about the M16 (and culling out the BS info of which there is PLENTY on the net). It took MONTHS for me to track down specific examples of each firearm ... and photograph it. The problem with foreign guns is that the majority of their appearances in American cinema can be predicted (Until we started importing foreign AKs in the 2000s or built them here with parts kits, all AKs were either Maadi ARMs or Chinese Norincos or Polytechs. Foreign cinema is another matter). HK is the same way. There were FEW original guns imported into the US during the 1980s & 90s so armorers BUILT their HK guns from what was imported into the country.

::::This is still a work in progress. There is still information I am trying to verify and examples I'm trying to photograph. It is necessary work though. When we can clearly lay out this information in a chronological timeline, then identifying weapons becomes less of a byzantine task. :) BTW, thanks. The comments here show that people are actually reading the page and absorbing the info. Again, I think IMFDB is the only place which HAS this type of info. Don't know if I'm wrong or not, but I think we CAN be a great resource to make sure this info doesn't get lost to the ages. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 20:17, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

:::::Haha, don't worry, I'm not ''demanding'' you do it. I realize this page was a lot of work. I could maybe start out the AK page, though. There weren't very many types of semi-auto type AK firearms available in the U.S. during the 1980s (when the armories all bought/converted the same guns that they still use today). There were the Finish Valmets, the Egyptian Maadis, the Chinese Norincos and Poly Techs, the Hungarian SA-85Ms, and the Yugo M70s imported by Mitchell Arms. And the thing is, you've already photographed just about all of those types (except the SA-85M, but I used a picture of one on the page for ''44 Minutes''). I think we could also make clear that the page refers specifically to the AK rifles that AMERICAN (and, to a lesser extent, Canadian, European, and Australian armorers) would have had in inventory. Obviously, the movies filmed in Israel or South Africa were another matter entirely...but what do you think? Should I try to make a preliminary version of the page? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:51, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
I say go for it MT2008. Right now I am trying to gather information on Handheld Miniguns as there is alot of BS floating around about such systems and even though I would have to use screencaps for the images I can say that we could use alot of such pages.[[User:Rockwolf66|Rockwolf66]] 20:58, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

I COULD try to test my researching abilities and hunt down info and records on the MP5. It's one of my favorite SMGs. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]]

==Two more films for your history==
[[Image:Presanyl.jpg|200px|thumb|left|James Coburn vs The Phone Company]]
What a GREAT idea for a page! For early uses of the film by year you may want to include 1965's (released Jan 1966) 'Agent for H.A.R.M' where they actually gave a credit to 'Weapons by Colt Firearms' (product placement?) and 1967's classic 'The President's Analyst'.

Just our of curiosity do you know 1)Why none of the US military stocks and handguards were made out of GREEN plastic? and 2)What happened to all the CAR15's after Vietnam? You'd think they'd be more practical to issue to the tankers and VTR people than the old M3A1 Grease Gun.[[User:Foofbun|Foofbun]] 05:02, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

==Submachine gun???==

in the article. It says Colt Model 609 is a submachine gun as picture caption. This should be changed no? --[[User:Lynxoid|Lynxoid]] ([[User talk:Lynxoid|talk]]) 20:29, 12 August 2019 (EDT)

'''''Counter-Strike: Global Offensive''''' (also known as ''CS:GO'') is the latest installment of the ''Counter-Strike'' series, released in 2012. The game was developed by Valve Software and Hidden Path Entertainment for the PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Mac OS X. The ''Counter-Strike'' series's classic multiplayer gameplay had its first notable changes in CSGO with the addition of fully-fledged new weapons.

Unlike previous ''Counter-Strike'' games, all weapons are no longer mirrored when using right-handed view, though they can be mirrored for left-handed view if the player desires.

'''The following weapons appear in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive:'''

==Heckler & Koch P2000==
The [[Heckler & Koch P2000]], known in-game simply as the "P2000", is the default starting pistol for Counter-Terrorists; it was originally the only starting CT pistol, but the August 14, 2013 patch re-added the [[USP]] as an alternate option. With a correct 13-round magazine capacity, a decent fire-rate, manageable recoil, and workable damage, the P2000 is serviceable early on, but loses effectiveness in later rounds due to its poor performance against armor. It costs $200, though its status as a default starting pistol renders this a bit of a moot point.

On a sidenote, the weapon in-game is modeled after (and marked as) the 9x19mm Parabellum-chambered variant, but the game's files instead code it to use .357 SIG; since ''Global Offensive'', unlike prior ''CS'' titles, doesn't require players to buy ammo or allow sharing of reserves between primaries and secondaries, this isn't visible in any way in-game.

==Glock 26/17 Hybrid==
A hybrid of [[Glock]] pistols, based largely on a [[Glock 26]] frame, but with the full-length slide (and corresponding full-length slide rails) of a [[Glock 17]], appears as the "[[Glock 18|Glock-18]]" (which, given its lack of a selector switch, is rather wide of the mark); given these features, it appears to be a reworked version of the Glock seen in ''[[Left 4 Dead 2]]''. It serves as the Terrorists' default sidearm, featuring both semi-auto and incorrect 3-round burst firemodes, a somewhat absurd 20-round capacity, a largely-irrelevant $200 price tag (since one is given to the player at the start of any round wherein they don't have another sidearm), a decent fire rate (400 RPM max in semi-auto, or 1,200 RPM in bursts with noticeable delays in between), low weight, and manageable recoil, at the cost of somewhat low damage per shot, low accuracy, and downright abysmal performance against armor, making it a poor choice for later rounds. Inspecting the Glock also shows that its magazine release is not modeled.

[[File:CSGO Glock Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The right side, which is totally devoid of any markings.

== SIG-Sauer P250 Compact ==
Replacing the [[SIG-Sauer P228]] from prior titles, the early model of the [[SIG-Sauer P250#SIG P250 Compact|SIG-Sauer P250 Compact]] (though technically the current model at the time of the game's release) can be purchased by both teams, costing $500. It holds 13 rounds, and has slightly better damage and armor penetration stats than the default pistols, though it only has 2 spare magazines in reserve, and has slightly worse accuracy and stronger recoil than either team's default choices. It is coded to use .357 SIG ammunition, though the P250 Compact isn't available in this caliber, and the cases that the weapon ejects are straight-walled (unlike the .357 SIG round's bottlenecked cases), suggesting that it's chambered in .40 S&W; as mentioned before, since ammo can no longer be purchased, this inaccuracy isn't visible during gameplay.

== Smith & Wesson Model 327 R8 ==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 327|Smith & Wesson Model 327 R8]] was added with the 2015 Winter Update, named the "R8 Revolver"; it can be selected as an alternative to the Desert Eagle for either team, and costs $600. It can be fired in either double-action or single-action mode with rather unrealistic properties, the latter being much faster than the former but also less accurate, as the weapon has an incredibly long trigger pull in double-action (it takes .42 seconds to fire), and the hammer is fanned in single-action. It was also, prior to being patched, insanely powerful for a .357 Magnum revolver, capable of one-shot kills to anywhere on the body at up to ludicrous ranges, something that the .50AE Desert Eagle is incapable of - even stranger is that the game files claim the R8 is firing the same rounds as the Desert Eagle. The weapon has since been patched such that its base damage has been lowered (115 -> 75).

==FN Five-seveN==
A [[FN Five-seveN USG]] with adjustable target sights (no longer in production, though it was the current model when the game was released) is featured in-game, known as the "Five-SeveN". It doesn't do much damage, and its accuracy when firing rapidly is rather poor; however, it is quite accurate when firing individual shots or short bursts, not to mention its second-best-in-class capacity (an appropriate 20 rounds) and high effectiveness against armor, all for just $500. Prior to January 23, 2013, the Five-seveN was usable by both teams, but the patch made it once again a CT exclusive. While its damage is still nothing to write home about, the Five-seveN in ''GO'' is noticeably more powerful than its past incarnations; it can even score one-shot headshot kills against helmeted enemies at close range, as opposed to the Five-seveN in prior ''[[Counter-Strike]]'' games, which couldn't even one-shot unhelmeted enemies point-blank.

==IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
An [[IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] is included in ''CS:GO'', known simply as the "Desert Eagle". As in prior titles, it serves as the most powerful and accurate sidearm available, but with a low capacity (7 rounds, correct for the non-fluted .50 AE variant of the pistol), heavy recoil, rather substantial weight (i.e. movement speed penalty), and the highest price of any pistol in the game, at $700. Like the [[Glock]], its model is a modified version of the one from ''[[Left 4 Dead 2]]''; it initially also used the same texture (a dusty, worn look), though the Arms Deal update gave it a cleaner chrome finish.

[[File:CSGO Deagle Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The standard inspection animation is another flashy affair, starting with a spin to show off the right side.

[[File:CSGO Deagle Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This is followed by another spin to view the better-textured left side. Note the underbarrel rail (a feature which wasn't available at the time of ''CS:GO'''s release, though IMI would later make it a factory option); in ''L4D2'', this was used to mount a flashlight, though the only purpose it serves here is to mount a "StatTrak" (digital kill-counter) module to some skinned versions.]]
[[File:CSGO Deagle Sideways.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Interestingly, the Desert Eagle (or "Deagle", as many players like to call it) later received a secondary inspection animation; this consists simply of a whole bunch of spinning, first forwards, then backwards, then sideways (as seen here), then backwards again, before finally being returned to a standstill.]]
[[File:CSGO Deagle Spinning.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As evidenced by the missing textures on the bottom of the slide, the pistol clearly wasn't designed with this amount of twirling in mind.]]

[[File:CSGO Deagle Reloading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...though, considering how the pistol automatically starts a fixed reload animation wherein the slide goes forward and the hammer decocks itself for some reason, it's not particularly clear why.

[[File:CSGO Deagle Racking.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Concluding the reload animation with a dramatic rack of the slide, the inside of which also appears to be missing some textures.]]

==Beretta M9A1==
Dual [[Beretta M9A1]] Inox handguns with wood grips, referred to as "Dual Berettas", are a buyable sidearm choice, replacing the dual-wielded [[Beretta 92G Elite II]]s from prior titles; unlike said titles, they are now available to both sides, rather than being exclusive to the Terrorists.. Surprisingly cheap for a pair of handguns (only $400 in total, which makes each gun the same price as each side's starting pistols), the Dual Berettas offer decent damage, low recoil, a relatively high rate of fire, and the best magazine capacity of any sidearm in the game (for obvious reasons), at the cost of poor armor penetration, low damage at range, and poor accuracy and reload speed (again, for obvious reasons).

==Intratec TEC-9==
The [[Intratec TEC-9]] is one of ''Global Offensive'''s new sidearms, serving as the Terrorists' counterpart to the CTs' [[FN Five-seveN]]; unlike its depictions in most media, the TEC-9 in ''CS:GO'' is correctly shown as semi-auto. Costing $500, it holds 18 rounds in the magazine (not a normal capacity for the TEC-9; the closest one could get would be a 20-rounder deliberately underloaded with 18 rounds, though the in-game model is a 32-rounder). The weapon originally boasted a very generous 32 round capacity, low recoil, and high accuracy when moving, making the weapon perfect for spamming; it was later rebalanced to reward accuracy, with surprisingly good first-shot accuracy, rather bouncy recoil, the ability to kill helmeted enemies in a single headshot, and the aforementioned capacity alteration.

==Heckler & Koch USP Tactical==
The [[Heckler & Koch USP#Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|Heckler & Koch USP Tactical]] was added in the August 14, 2013 patch as the "USP-S", and is an optional replacement for the [[Heckler & Koch P2000|P2000]], being a successor to the suppressed USP from previous ''CS'' games (upon its initial introduction, it even re-used ''[[Counter Strike: Source|CS:S]]'''s USP's sounds). Compared to the P2000, the USP has one less round per magazine (12 instead of 13) and only 2 magazines in reserve, but is more accurate, and comes with the obvious benefits of using a suppressor; beyond these attributes, the two pistols are nearly identical (including damage and armor penetration, despite the rather significant caliber difference between the two). Using the alternate fire key will remove or attach the suppressor; there is little point to doing this, since unlike previous titles the suppressor doesn't decrease the weapon's damage, and removing it increases recoil and decreases accuracy, making it directly inferior to the P2000.

==CZ 75 Automatic==
The [[CZ 75 Automatic]] was added in a patch in February 2014. It is a full-auto machine pistol that optionally replaces the Five-seveN for the Counter-Terrorists or the TEC-9 for the Terrorists. It holds 12 rounds (lower than the real weapon's 16 - it started out correct, but was lowered for balance) with only a single spare magazine, being intended as a "high risk, high reward" weapon. Notably, its draw animation shows the character attaching the magazine to the underside before cocking it (this was done to extend the draw for balancing reasons). It's also the only weapon other than the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare|AW]] to get a lower reward for killing enemies, at only $100 per kill - rather low, though it's at least in line with the weapon's $500 price tag. It fires at a more controllable 600 RPM instead of the real life 1,000 RPM.

= Submachine Guns =
Unlike previous games, most submachine guns will award bonus money upon killing enemies (2x the reward for all of them except the P90).

==Ingram MAC-10==
A [[MAC-10]] is featured in-game, another gun returning from prior titles. The model is from ''[[Left 4 Dead 2]]'' (sans suppressor with zip-tied flashlight). The MAC-10's advantages are its high firing rate and subsequent close-range damage, light weight, and low price (a mere $1,050, the lowest of any primary weapon in the game - so low, in fact, that it can be bought in the pistol round in Competitive mode, as long as the prospective buyer gets a kill within the first 30 seconds of the round, without buying anything else), while sacrificing effective range, accuracy, and armor penetration.

Also note the darkened outline of a fire selector and backwards "FULL" marking, showing that the lower receiver's texture is apparently mirrored at its midpoint.]]

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
A [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]] is one of the available submachine guns in-game, replacing the previous games' [[Steyr TMP]], as a cheap ($1,250), fast-firing (857 RPM), lightweight SMG for Counter-Terrorists that's good for run-and-gun, spray-and-pray tactics in early rounds, but loses effectiveness later on with the proliferation of armor and rifles. Unlike the TMP, however, the MP9 does not come with a suppressor, and instead behaves simply as the CT equivalent to the [[MAC-10]].

== Izhmash PP-19 Bizon-2 ==
An [[Izhmash PP-19 Bizon]]-2 is an available SMG for both teams, known in-game as the "PP-Bizon". While its low damage, poor accuracy, and pitiful performance against armor make it a questionable choice for later rounds, its high rate of fire (750 RPM), controllable recoil, and best-in-class capacity (a staggering 64 rounds) allow it to perform quite well in the early phases of a match (or, considering its $1,400 price tag, during eco rounds). The weapon's smooth magazine design is from the earlier Bizon-1.

Its 64-round capacity corresponds to the 9x18mm Makarov version, but the weapon is instead coded to use 9x19mm Parabellum in the game files (unlike earlier games, coded caliber info is not visible in-game and does not impact gameplay due to the need to buy ammo and ammo sharing between weapons of the same caliber being removed), which would have it use a 53-round magazine instead.

==Heckler & Koch UMP45==
A [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] with a vertical foregrip is one of the available submachine guns in-game, known simply as the "UMP-45". At only $1,200, it is the second-cheapest SMG in the game (and the cheapest available to Counter-Terrorists, since the only one cheaper is the [[MAC-10]]); it is somewhat more akin in behavior to the rifles, with a (correct) 25-round magazine, best-in-class damage, and decent range, accuracy, and armor penetration, with its main drawbacks being its somewhat bouncy, aggressive recoil, and the lowest rate of fire in the SMG category (666 RPM).

==FN P90 TR==
The [[FN P90|FN P90 TR (Triple Rail)]] appears in the game as the "P90", with rail-mounted iron sights (despite the fact that the P90 TR's top rail includes iron sights, and the fact that the irons aren't usable in-game anyways). It is the only submachine gun not to award extra money for kills. Due to its high armor penetration value (69%), high capacity, decent damage, moderate recoil, and high rate of fire, the weapon has gained a great deal of notoriety in the ''CS:GO'' community, commonly being associated with lower-skilled players; its only real downsides are the aforementioned low kill award, an exorbitant price of $2,350, a slow reload, and somewhat curiously, the heaviest weight of all the game's submachine guns, despite it actually being lighter than every in-game submachine gun barring the [[Heckler & Koch MP7|MP7A1]], the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9|MP9]], and the [[PP-19 Bizon|Bizon-2]].

==Heckler & Koch MP7A1==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] appears in-game as the "MP7". Costing $1,500, it is a middle-of-the-road SMG, being decently powerful and accurate, with low recoil, a moderately high fire rate (750 RPM, compared to the real steel's 950-1,150), and a 30-round magazine capacity. It fills the same role as the previous games' [[H&K MP5]], even recycling its prior incarnations' firing sound up until a patch in 2016. It's also bizarrely shown as the heaviest weapon in its class, slowing down the player even more than the [[P90]], despite weighing a full {{convert|lbs|1.41}} less in reality.

Of note is that the game files incorrectly code the weapon to use 9x19mm rounds (instead of the appropriate 4.6x30mm); this has no effect on gameplay, as unlike prior ''Counter-Strike'' games, players no longer need to buy ammo.

==Heckler & Koch MP5SD3==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5SD3|MP5SD3]] was added to the game in the August 15, 2018 update as an alternative option to the MP7, as a successor to the MP5 from previous games replaced in CSGO by the MP7. It has many of the same stats as the MP7, the only major differences being the suppressor, a faster movement speed, and slightly lower damage.

==Mk 18 Mod 0==
A [[Mk 18 Mod 0]] fitted with an ARMS#40 flip-up rear iron sight and KAC free-float RAS handguard with rail covers appears as the "M4A4", serving as the Counter-Terrorists' staple assault rifle. The kill icon originally incorrectly showed the [[M4A1]] with carry handle from ''[[Counter-Strike: Source]]'', though a later patch corrected it. Unlike the M4A1 in previous ''Counter-Strike'' games, it does not include a detachable suppressor, instead simply serving as a middle-of-the-road rifle; compared to the Terrorists' [[AKM]], it fires faster, is more accurate, and has less recoil, but is more expensive (costing $3,100), does less damage per shot, and has slightly poorer armor penetration, the latter two factors making it incapable of killing a helmeted enemy in a single headshot.

==Colt Model 723==
A later-pattern [[Colt Model 723]] was added in the August 14, 2013 update; known incorrectly as the "M4A1-S", it serves as an optional replacement for the above [[Mk 18 Mod 0]] "M4A4", and a successor to the suppressed [[M4A1]] in previous games. Compared to its unsuppressed counterpart, the Model 723 differs primarily in its fire rate (600 RPM, lower than the M4A4's 666) and capacity (25 rounds instead of the M4A4's 30, despite being modeled with a 30-round magazine), in exchange for the obvious benefits provided by a suppressor. It comes with 3 spare magazines and a suppressor attached by default that can be removed or re-attached by using the alternate fire button. As with the [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|USP-S]], it did not initially receive new sounds, taking its own directly from ''[[Counter-Strike: Source]]'', though these were later replaced with a new set in September of 2016.

[[File:CSGO M723 Removing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This "business" apparently includes unscrewing the suppressor from the rifle's threaded flash hider.

[[File:CSGO M723 Unsuppressed.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Should they choose to ignore their better judgement and abandon any pretense of stealth, however, the result will look something like this.]]

==AKMN==
The "[[AK-47]]" in the game is actually an [[AKM|AKMN]], with plastic 30-round magazines. It offers very high stopping power and penetration (capable of one-shot headshots against helmeted enemies), good accuracy, and a manageable price of $2,700, at the cost of its somewhat heavy weight, a lower rate of fire than its competitors, and rather strong recoil. This model is notably ported from ''[[Left 4 Dead 2]]'' (including the presence of the wider front sight and narrower handguard of an actual AK-47) with slight alterations like detail on the stock and a smaller spring lock.

==Steyr AUG A3==
Replacing the [[Steyr AUG A1]] from previous games is the more recent [[Steyr AUG A3|A3 variant]], with a Trijicon ACOG providing a low zoom level and allowing for precise shots. It deals good damage, with a moderate rate of fire, strong-yet-simple recoil, and a unique ability (for CT assault rifles) to land instant-kill headshot against helmeted enemies at point-blank range, at the cost of, well, cost (the most expensive in its class, at $3,300), along with its heavy weight and slow reload. The rifle's in-game model visibly has a 42-round magazine, despite it only having a 30-round capacity gameplay wise.

== FAMAS G1 ==
A [[FAMAS#FAMAS G2|FAMAS G1]] is featured in-game, but incorrectly uses 30-round STANAG magazines in its F1 mag-well instead of the proper 25-round straight magazines; despite this, it still holds 25 rounds per magazine (and, despite that, still has 90 rounds in reserve like most of the other assault rifles, which works out to 3-and-three-fifths magazines). At only $2,250, the FAMAS is the cheapest assault rifle available to the Counter-Terrorists; unfortunately, there is little else to be said for it, with its relatively low damage, lower-than-standard capacity, and long reload relegating its primary role to low-cash rounds. Pressing the alt-fire key toggles the weapon between full-auto and 3-round burst; the latter mode bumps the rate of fire up from the default 666 RPM to 800 (both of which are short of the real weapon's 1,000 RPM, likely for balance-related reasons), decreases recoil, and boosts accuracy, at the cost of adding a longer delay between trigger pulls (presumably, again, for the sake of balance).

On a sidenote, the [[FAMAS F1]]'s icon from past titles is re-used in ''GO'' as the icon for the FAMAS G1.

==IWI Galil ACE 22==
Replacing the [[IMI Galil ARM]] from prior ''Counter-Strike'' titles, ''CS:GO'' features the [[Galil ACE|IWI Galil ACE 22]] as an optional assault rifle for Terrorists, known in-game as the "[[Galil AR]]" (actually a different variant altogether, though "AR" could possibly just be a generic "Assault/Automatic Rifle" suffix). The ACE 22 boasts the highest magazine capacity (a correct 35 rounds) and lowest cost (only $2,000) in its class, at the cost of poor performance against armor (being the only Terrorist assault rifle that can't kill a helmeted enemy in a single headshot) and somewhat low accuracy. Interestingly, in the early build of ''GO'' used during the US vs Euro faceoff, the model featured a Meprolight red dot sight attached to the top of the handguard, which acted like the scopes on the [[Steyr AUG A3]] and [[SIG SG 556]]; in the final game, this weapon does not feature the sight, though its kill icon did until it was removed in a later update.

For whatever reason, the rifle on the ACE 22's "Expert" achievement (and its HUD icon) is the earlier IMI [[Galil SAR]].

==SIG-Sauer SIG556 HOLO==
A [[SIG SG 556|SIG-Sauer SIG556 HOLO]] with a usable Trijicon ACOG (incorrectly referred to in-game as the "[[SG 552|SG 553]]") replaces the previous games' [[SG 552]], being the Terrorists' scoped assault rifle. It fires in full-auto, while most real SIG556s are semi-auto only; being a terrorist-only weapon, it could be argued that this was instead an illegally-preformed full-auto conversion. Compared to the [[AKM]], it fires faster, is more accurate, has the evident advantages of a scope, and is the only weapon in the entire game to completely ignore armor, with the only downsides being its somewhat strange up-right recoil, its infinitesimally higher price ($2,750 versus the AK's $2,700), and its marginally lower damage (negated completely by the armor advantage, which applies in nearly all cases, since almost any round where rifles are being bought is one where armor is a factor).

= Sniper Rifles =
''As in many games, the sniper rifles in ''GO'' lack a hipfire crosshair. Additionally, unlike prior games in the series, players cannot quick scope easily and reliably; while using a sniper rifle's scope, there is a short amount of time in which the screen has to clear up, and whilst moving the scope will sway. This serves to make sniper rifles less suited to aggressive playstyles, and push them more towards the stationary, defensive role that they were originally meant to fulfill. Not that this stops some people from trying.''
== Accuracy International Arctic Warfare ==
The [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare]] is featured in-game (replacing the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum|Arctic Warfare Magnum]] seen in earlier games); true to its reputation, it has very high accuracy and power (capable of killing a full-health enemy with armor in a single hit to the torso, regardless of distance - even through some walls), but is heavy and slow to use. It can be identified as an original AW rather than the AWM seen in previous games by its shorter magazine, smaller ejection port, and smooth, non-fluted barrel. As in some versions of older ''CS'' games (and the files of the retail versions, which instead used the generic moniker "Magnum Sniper Rifle"), it is still incorrectly referred to as the "AWP" (a name which refers to the Arctic Warfare Police, a variant with a black stock and shorter, brakeless barrel), though the capacity is for once correct for the modeled weapon.

The AW is described as using .338 Lapua Magnum in the game's files; this is correct for the AWM, but not the AW or the AWP. The Arctic Warfare awards 66% less money on a kill than other weapons, giving only $100 as opposed to the standard $300 ($50/$150 in Casual Mode); this, coupled with its exorbitant $4,750 price tag, makes the AW a rather substantial financial risk for a team to take, though its sheer power can certainly make up for it in the right hands.

A [[Steyr SSG 08]] is included, replacing the [[Steyr Scout]] of the previous installments in the series as a cheap ($1,700), lightweight, quick-handling sniper rifle with decent damage and penetration; many players (not to mention the game's own "Flying Scoutsman" mode) opt to refer to it as its predecessor. It holds 10 rounds, with an impressive 90 in reserve; this effectively grants it unlimited ammunition, since it fires at 48 RPM and takes 3.7 seconds to reload, making a full dump of every available round take 2 minutes and 38.3 seconds, 3.3 seconds longer than the maximum length of a round in Competitive mode (1:55 default plus a 40-second bomb timer totaling 2:35, not counting the extra few seconds after the official end).

== Heckler & Koch G3SG/1 ==
As in previous games, the [[G3|Heckler & Koch G3SG/1]] fills the role of the Terrorists' DMR, opposite the CTs' [[FN SCAR|FN SSR]]. It has olive drab furniture and lacks a bipod. Presumably for balance reasons, the weapon's full-auto fire rate is significantly reduced in-game (240 RPM versus the real steel's 500-600), to the point where it seems like rapid semi-auto (the player character uses it in semi-auto, and visibly pulls the trigger repeatedly when the player holds down the fire key for full-auto fire). At $5,000, it is the second-most expensive weapon available to the Terrorists, and is quite heavy, though its excellent accuracy, damage (a consistent 2-shot kill, or one in the head, regardless of armor), wall-penetration capabilities, and volume of fire compared to other sniper rifles make it incredibly effective for those willing to take the financial risk. For no discernible reason, it comes with 90 rounds in reserve by default, which translates to exactly 4 full magazines and one half-loaded ones.

==FN SSR==
The [[FN SCAR#FN SSR|FN SSR (Sniper Support Rifle)]] is included as the Counter-Terrorists' automatic DMR, designated as the "SCAR-20" (a mixture of the SCAR family name, and the weapon's U.S. military designation of "Mk. 20 Mod. 0"). Save for a slight difference in hip fire accuracy and a larger one in reload speed (the G3SG/1 being slightly more accurate when firing without aiming, but taking virtual millennia to reload), the CTs' SCAR and the Terrorists' [[Heckler & Koch G3SG/1|G3SG/1]] are nearly statistically identical in-game, astronomical price and nonsensical ammo count included.

This is bizarre it and of itself; the SSR normally uses a 2-position safe/semi trigger group, so one would have attach a normal [[SCAR-H]] lower receiver to an SSR upper to achieve this.]]

= Shotguns =
As above with the submachine guns, shotguns award extra money on kills, in this case giving out 3x the money ($900 in Competitive Mode and $450 in Casual Mode).

==Benelli Nova Tactical==
The [[Benelli Nova|Benelli Nova Tactical]] is an available pump-action shotgun, replacing the previous games' [[Benelli M3]]. Simply called the "Nova", it has the tightest spread of all the game's shotguns; it's also the cheapest, costing a mere $1,050, though its poor fire-rate and armor penetration make it less effective against enemies who aren't equally strapped for cash. Being the M3's successor, it holds 8 rounds, even though the model has a standard 4-round tube magazine.

==Benelli M4 Super 90==
The [[Benelli M Series Super 90 Shotguns|Benelli M4 Super 90]] returns from prior ''CS'' games, now known as the "XM1014" (its US military designation during trials; once it was actually adopted, it became known as the "M1014"). It is the most expensive shotgun in the game (costing $2,000); conversely, it is also the weakest, dealing less damage per pellet than its competitors and firing 6 pellets per shot instead of the usual 8 or 9. However, it balances this out with a decent capacity (a correct 7 rounds), relatively good accuracy, and the highest rate of fire in its class by a substantial margin at 171 RPM. Interestingly, while both its description and its in-game behavior would suggest that it is erroneously depicted as fully-automatic (i.e. holding down M1 produces continuous fire), its animations show the player character pulling the trigger with each shot; this, coupled with the low rate of fire, suggest it to (correctly) be semi-automatic in-game.

They also have struck primers and lack rims, as with the other shotguns; topping this all off is the fact that the bolt is never racked at any point in this animation, even when the weapon runs empty, which'd realistically render it unable to fire (since there'd be no round chambered).]]

==Remington 870==
A sawed-off [[Remington 870]] is the second pump-action shotgun featured in-game, available to the Terrorist faction; in-game, it is referred to simply as the "Sawed-Off". It offers a low cost (only $1,100), an unrealistically high capacity for a sawed-off shotgun (7 rounds instead of 4 for this length of tube), and the highest damage in its class, but fire rate is rather low, its weight is somehow higher than any of the other shotguns, and it has the poorest accuracy and lowest range of any firearm in the game, making it lethal in close quarters but ineffective at distance.

[[File:CSGO 870 Reloading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in some shells. It's a bit hard to see here, but the text on the side of the receiver reads "Relphington 808 EXPRESS MAGNUM", a copyright-dodging play on the real weapon's name. The use of magnum (i.e. 3-inch, or 76mm) 12 gauge shells would explain the weapon's tremendous damage, but renders the 7-round capacity all the more ludicrous.]]
[[File:CSGO 870 Pumping.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The reload, regardless of whether or not it was from empty, is concluded with another pump, albeit a bit less dramatic than those of the drawing and firing animations.]]

==Techno Arms MAG-7==
The [[Techno Arms MAG-7]] appears in-game as the "MAG-7", serving as the CT equivalent to the Terrorists' sawed-off [[Remington 870]] (i.e. a short-ranged, slow-firing, hard-hitting shotgun); while its capacity is lower than the Sawed-Off's (an appropriate 5 rounds, the lowest of all of the game's shotguns - this makes its reserve ammo count of 32 a bit odd), it is magazine-fed, making empty reloads shorter at the cost of longer partial reloads. It is also slightly more expensive (costing $1,300), does slightly less damage (though not enough so to make any particularly noticeable difference), is slightly lighter, and has notably better accuracy (which makes sense; much of the fabled inaccuracy of short-barreled shotguns comes from the poor state of the muzzle crown created by the process of sawing down the barrel, and professionally-manufactured short-barreled shotguns can be nearly as accurate as longer-barreled ones). Its high damage has more to do with game balance than any sort of logic, however; as normal shotgun shells (typically 2.75 inches, or 70mm) are too long to reasonably fit in a pistol-grip-inserted magazine and still leave the resultant weapon as something that normally-sized human hands can manipulate, the MAG-7 instead uses proprietary 2.36-inch (60mm) shells, with less power than the standard 2 3/4-inch ones.

= Machine Guns =
''The LMGs in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive provide exceptional suppression due to their high ammo capacity of 100 or 150 rounds, but have high recoil and are highly uncontrollable during sustained fire. They also are hindered by their long reload times.''
==FN M249 SAW==
The [[M249 SAW]] is an available LMG, returning from the previous games; unlike previous games, however, the M249 in ''GO'' has a stock. At $5,200, it is the most expensive weapon in the game (the [[IMI Negev|Negev]] below once was, until its price was cut), and one of the most seldom-bought as a consequence. While its heavy weight and recoil, its slow reload, and the aforementioned price tag discourage most potential users, its massive capacity (100 rounds, half of what the modeled belt box is actually supposed to hold) makes it an excellent choice for suppressing and holding angles - or, at least, it would be, if the less-than-a-third-of-the-price Negev didn't exist.

The M249 also serves as the basis for the sentry guns encountered in the Danger Zone gamemode; these have unlimited ammunition, despite their finitely-sized belt boxes.

==IMI Negev Commando==
The [[IMI Negev|IMI Negev Commando]] is a new LMG available in ''CS:GO'', referred to in-game as the "Negev". Originally, the Negev had a higher ROF than the [[M249]], but did less damage, had larger spread, and was the most expensive weapon in the game at $5,700. The weapon was later reworked with "suppressive" gameplay elements. Specifically, the recoil pattern of the Negev homes in onto a point slightly above the player's crosshair after 10 or more (ludicrously inaccurate) shots, unlike the recoil patterns for most other weapons which wildly fly from left to right. This allows it to shoot extremely accurately as long as the player does not move and prepares the weapon for firing beforehand. Its rate of fire was also cut from 1,000 RPM to just 800, and its price was slashed to $2,000, then again to a measly $1,700.

=Grenades=
As with previous games, players may only hold one grenade of each type (except Flashbangs, of which they can hold 2). In Casual Mode, players may hold three grenades, while in Competitive Mode they may hold four.
==M67 Hand Grenade==
The [[M67 hand grenade]] is present in the game, being referred to as the "HE Grenade", despite the actual M67 being a fragmentation grenade; this is supported by their in-game behavior, as they lack any sort of fragmentation effect, relying solely on the explosion itself to deal damage. Each one costs $300, and serves more to do early-round chip damage or to flush out wounded enemies than as an outright killing tool; in fact, the only way to actually kill an uninjured (and unarmored) enemy with a single grenade is to hit them directly, then have the grenade go off at their chest height.

[[File:CSGO M67 Tossing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Pressing the alternate fire key with a grenade will result in a slow underhand toss; while it makes sense with some of the less-lethal grenades, it's a bit more concerning with an explosive one.]]
[[File:CSGO M67 Wave.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Fortunately, the grenades' only means of producing shrapnel is to throw around props (which don't deal damage anyway), so this is slightly less unsafe than it would seem (which explains why there are targets so close to the throwing point). Note the spherical blast wave effect, which presumably helps to reinforce the idea that these are purely HE grenades, and not frag grenades.]]

==M84 Stun Grenade==
Unlike previous games, where the flashbangs were simply re-textured [[M7 CS gas grenade]]s or [[M18 smoke grenade]]s, ''Global Offensive'''s flashes are more appropriately modeled as [[M84 stun grenade]]s (albeit with one pin instead of two, as is common in games). Costing only $200, the M84 is an excellent tool for entering an occupied area, temporarily blinding any nearby enemies (or teammates, if you're not careful) that look at the explosion, and "deafening" (i.e. replacing all audio with a high-pitched ringing sound) anyone caught in the blast. Uniquely, two flashbangs can be carried at once in Competitive mode, but not in any other gamemode.

[[File:CSGO M84.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Biding time in a bathroom on de_safehouse, a devious terrorist decides to take the "cherry bomb in a toilet" prank up a notch or seven.]]

===Decoy Grenade===
Decoy grenades are one of ''GO'''s new additions to the ''Counter-Strike'' series. They are identical to flashbangs in shape (only differing in paint scheme, with an orange center band instead of a blue-green one), cost a measly $50 (the single cheapest item in the game) and serve more to deceive enemies than to directly damage or impede them. When dropped, they make the same sounds as an actual flashbang; coupled with their identical silhouette, this can trick enemies into averting their eyes, allowing for faster-than-expected rushes. Following this, they will sporadically create sparks and smoke, whilst playing the firing sound effect of the most powerful weapon that the user had on their person upon throwing the grenade; this creates an enemy mark on the opposing teams' radars (regardless of whether or not anyone has a line of sight to it, unlike an actual player). After around 15 seconds of this, the grenade explodes, dealing a maximum of 5 damage in a minuscule radius; in spite of this, it creates a disproportionately loud noise and large visual blast effect.

[[File:CSGO Decoy Pin.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A late frame in the pin-pulling animation (shared between all of the game's grenades, rather obviously barring the Molotov Cocktail); at full size, it can be seen that the pin correctly has split wires extending to either side, which serve to help securely hold it in place. Unfortunately, this also means it's an error, since the way that these work is that they have to be bent flat while pulling out the pin.]]

==Model 5210 Smoke Grenade==
Replacing prior games' retextured [[M7 CS gas grenade]]s and [[M18 smoke grenade]]s, the smoke grenades in ''Global Offensive'' are [[Model 5210 Smoke Grenade]]s. Costing $300, smoke grenades are a critical tool for blocking enemy lines of sight, as well as one's own movements and/or hiding spots. They can also extinguish flames from incendiary grenades and Molotov cocktails; while a bit more on the "gamey" side of things in terms of its reliability and speed, this does make some sense, as the smoke could serve to displace nearby oxygen, cutting off the fire's supply. This does not, however, explain how player characters themselves can stand in smoke indefinitely without any problems breathing whatsoever.

[[File:CSGO 5210 Pulling.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Deciding that he should be the only one who can bear witness to such beauty, the operative pulls the pin...]]
[[File:CSGO 5210 Throwing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and lets a grenade fly. Note that the pin and spoon are correctly shown as absent on the thrown model; interestingly enough, the area underneath where the spoon would normally sit is slightly darker than the rest of the grenade, as if it were always in the spoon's shadow.]]
[[File:CSGO 5210 Smoke.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The smoke cloud produced by a grenade; despite being labeled as white smoke grenades, the smoke that they release in-game is gray. It lasts for 18 seconds, and is released near-instantaneously, creating the pressure wave effect seen here for some reason.]]
[[File:CSGO 5210 Tossing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Realizing that he's made himself unable to see the reactor in the process, the counter-terrorist sadly tosses another smoke on the ground; this is one of the only grenades where this function is actually particularly useful.]]

===Incendiary Grenade===
The CTs' incendiary grenades share a model with the Model 5210 smokes, but use different textures that incorrectly state them to be [[AN/M14 incendiary grenade]]s. Incendiary grenades provide incremental damage to the target whilst in the flame, but their biggest appeal is the ability to detour and even hold back the opposing team from approaching a certain area for about 10 seconds. When used in conjunction with the rest of one's team, it is possible to keep the opposing team from approaching a certain area for almost a minute. The Terrorist team uses nearly functionally-identical Molotov cocktails, which cost $200 less ($400 instead of the incendiaries' $600 price tag). Due to this functional identicality, the incendiary grenades oddly detonate on impact, and do so with a glass-breaking sound. Their behavior as antipersonnel/area-denial munitions is also not really in line with the purpose of most modern incendiary grenades; the AN/M14, for instance, is not so much a proper grenade as it is a convenient, pre-packaged can of thermite meant for destroying enemy equipment.
[[File:CSGO Incendiary.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Out in the cold on cs_office, an FBI SWAT member eyes a suspicious-looking snowman while holding his not-an-AN/M14.]]

[[File:CSGO Incendiary Throwing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and makes Frosty a fair bit less so. Note the fire coming out of the top of the grenade, presumably a side-effect of it using the Molotovs' code as a base.]]
[[File:CSGO Incendiary Fire.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Watching the world burn, in a manner rather inconsistent with how the AN/M14 is supposed to work.]]
[[File:CSGO Incendiary Tossing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The CT then makes a rather serious miscalculation. Note that, in spite of the animation of it being pulled, the thrown model of the incendiary grenade still has a pin and a spoon; this may be another result of it sharing code with the Molotovs.]]

=Other=
==Advanced Taser M26==
A fictional model of Taser known as the "Zeus x27", based on the [[Taser|Advanced Taser M26]], is available to both teams, bought from the "Gear" buy menu screen (alongside other equipment, such as body armor and helmets) and equipped in the same slot as the knife (pressing the knife slot key switches between the knife and the taser). It costs $200, and awards exactly zero for a kill, the only weapon in the entire game with such a property. Its behavior in-game is somewhat bizarre; compared to an actual Taser, it has an incredibly short effective range (only being able to hit enemies within roughly the same distance as a knife); outside of a ''very'' small window at the extreme edge of its range where it will deal heavy, yet non-fatal damage, it is a guaranteed instant kill upon use. After said use, it is discarded immediately, lacking any sort of ability to reload. Prior to a patch, the Zeus couldn't be bought in Competitive mode; prior to another, later one, the Zeus could be picked up through walls when dropped, allowing it to be used as a way of detecting hiding enemies.

A rather strange rechargable version was available in "Stab Stab Zap" gamemode, active during the Operation Hydra season. On this model, the green decal on the back of the gun was replaced with a charging indicator; after firing, the charging bar emptied and filled back up for 30 seconds, after which it could be fired again. A real taser fires non-reusable darts, and can be reloaded by switching out the cartridge, but this behavior is not emulated by either of the two in-game variants.

[[File:CSGO X27 Drawing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looking down a sightline rather longer than he's equipped to deal with, a terrorist on cs_assault shows that it doesn't reuse ''all'' of the pistols' animations; as it rather obviously doesn't have a slide to rack, the Zeus is simply drawn when selected.]]

Exactly why these don't show up when firing into open air isn't really clear, though given its short range, visual effects, and non-non-lethal properties, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that it's actually supposed to be conducting electricity over open air instead of wires.]]
[[File:CSGO X27 Dropped.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Once fired, the Zeus is unceremoniously dropped on the floor, with its name appearing whenever the player hovers their crosshair over it up close; despite having just been fired, the two panels at the front of the cartridge are still present and intact.]]

'''''Insurgency: Sandstorm''''' is the sequel to the standalone ''[[Insurgency]]'' game developed on the Source engine. The sequel is being developed on the UE4 Engine, delivering high quality graphic, smooth movements, lager maps usable vehicles, new reload mechanics and much more features to come. The game released on December 12, 2018, following a free Open Beta weekend.

As with its predecessor, the game retains various competitive multiplayer modes along with a Player vs AI co-op mode, playable on each side. Of note is that currently, the Security side has access to almost all the Insurgent-exclusive weapons and attachments in Co-op Mode, while the Insurgent side has no such luxury.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Insurgency: Sandstorm''. '''
__TOC__ 

=Pistols=
==Beretta M9==
A staple sidearm of the series, the [[Beretta M9]] is oddly available to the Insurgent faction rather than the Security (although it is not inaccurate for the Insurgent faction to have plenty of stolen or secondhand older US military hardware). It costs 2 Supply.

==Browning Hi-Power==
Making its way from ''[[Day of Infamy]]'', the [[Browning Hi-Power]] is another Insurgent sidearm. It costs 1 Supply.

[[File:SandstormHPempty.jpeg|thumb|none|650px|The operator feeds his Hi-Power a new magazine from empty.]]

==Colt M1911==
The classic .45 [[M1911]] returns as the Insurgent's equivalent to the Security's more modern M1911-based pistols. It costs 2 Supply and is currently the hardest-hitting Insurgent pistol.

[[File:Sandstorm1911empty.jpeg|thumb|none|650px|Preparing to hit the slide release on an empty M1911.]]

==Colt M45A1==
The [[Colt XSE|Colt M45A1]] replaces the [[M45]] from the 2014 title, though the M45 MEU(SOC) can be seen in early development footage of ''Sandstorm''. As with the M1911, it costs 2 Supply and acts as Security's .45 pistol.

[[File:SandstormM45empty.jpeg|thumb|none|650px|The M45A1 about to be locked and loaded.]]

==Glock 17==
A tan-framed [[Glock 17]] is one of the Security pistols in-game. In the Alpha, the Glock was designated "G17." In the Beta, the weapon was re-indexed as the "M005" likely to avoid legal issues, the name itself likely derived from the USMC M007 designation of the [[Glock 19|Glock 19M]]. It appears that that was still not enough to appease the Glock legal team however, and the Glock was removed from the launch version, reworked, and later patched in as the "PF940"; named after a Glock part kit created by a company named Polymer80, the pistol in-game is built off of said parts kit (specifically the V2 model), its the addition of an aftermarket slide with diagonal cocking serrations.

[[File:SandstormG17empty.jpeg|thumb|none|650px|The operator turns his Glock over to give its slide a quick pull back.]]

==Makarov PM==
The [[Makarov PM]] is another pistol available to the Insurgents. It is the weakest Insurgent pistol, but also costs 0 Supply.
[[Image:MakarovPM.jpg|350px|thumb|none|Makarov PM - 9x18mm Makarov]]

[[File:SandstormPMempty.jpeg|thumb|none|650px|An empty Makarov recieves a fresh magazine.]]

==SIG-Sauer P226R==
Also usable by the Security forces is the [[SIG-Sauer P226R]]. It appears under its UK Army designation of L106A1. It is the most expensive pistol currently available, costing 3 Supply.
[[Image:P226R.jpg|350px|thumb|none|SIG-Sauer P226R - 9x19mm]]

[[File:SandstormSIGempty.jpeg|thumb|none|650px|The operator's thumb clips through the slide as he chambers a fresh round. If the player performs a fast empty reload, the player character will rack the slide with their palm. This also happens on the Glock.]]

==Tariq==
The Tariq, an Iraqi clone of the [[Beretta M1951]], is another usable sidearm in the game, exclusive to the Security forces. It is the only Security pistol to cost 1 Supply.

=Submachine Guns=
==Heckler & Koch MP7A1==
A popular community weapon from the previous game, the [[Heckler & Koch MP7]] makes an official appearance in ''Sandstorm''. It is usable by the Security forces' Breacher class and uses its flush 20-round magazine, with the 40-round extended magazine being available for extra Supply. The base gun costs 4 Supply.
[[Image:H&K MP71A1.jpg|400px|thumb|none|H&K MP7A1 - 4.6x30mm]]
[[File:SandstormMP7.jpeg|thumb|none|650px|A stock MP7 patiently waiting to operate.]]

[[File:SandstormMP7reload1.jpeg|thumb|none|650px|Reloading gives us a good view of the gun. Note excellent trigger discipline and fire selector set to full auto. On any gun with different fire modes, the fire selector will visibly move when fire mode is changed. Also note that the empty reload and partial reload are identical, except for the character pushing the (not visible) bolt release during an empty reload. If the player performs a fast empty reload, the operator will flip the gun over and check the chamber while pressing the bolt release.]]

==IMI Uzi==
The [[IMI Uzi]] also makes its official appearance in the game (although in the last game, there is a Steam Workshop mod that replaced the [[MP40]] with the Uzi). A lower-profile, optics friendly charging handle very similar in appearance to the one used on the Uzi in ''[[Battlefield Hardline]]'' replaces the default Uzi cocking knob. The Uzi is one of the few open-bolt weapons in the game and costs 3 Supply, and is usable only by the Insurgents' Breacher class. By default, the Uzi uses a 25-round magazine, with a longer 32-round magazine and a 50-round drum available via extra Supply points.
[[Image:Uzi.jpg|400px|thumb|none|IMI UZI - 9x19mm]]

==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
The March 2019 Content Update added in two variants of the [[MP5]] submachine gun. The Insurgents received the older [[MP5A2]] variant, which features the early "slimline" handguard and "waffle" magazine.

[[File:SandstormMP5A2empty.jpeg|thumb|none|650px|After locking back the charging handle, the operator prepares to perform a good ol' fashioned HK Slap.]]

==Heckler & Koch MP5A5==
The March 2019 Content Update provided Security forces with the [[MP5A5]].

[[File:SandstormMP5A5empty.jpeg|thumb|none|650px|The operator in the midst of performing an HK Slap. Some things never go out of style.]]

==Heckler & Koch MP5SD6==
When fitted with a suppressor, the Security's [[MP5A5]] turns into an [[MP5SD6]].

=Assault Rifles=
==Alpha AK==
The Alpha AK, a customized [[AK-47|AK]] used by the Russian Spetsnaz Alpha Group and featuring a Zenit RIS handguard and a railed dust cover, is a new Insurgent weapon in ''Sandstorm'' available to the Insurgent Adviser class. It is fitted with a Tromix extended charging handle, and is stated to be chambered in 7.62x39mm via in-game stats, despite being clearly modeled with a 5.45x39mm magazine.

==AK-74N==
The [[AK-74|AK-74N]] returns from the previous game. It is called an AK-74 despite the Warsaw pact Rail on the side of the weapon making it in reality an AK-74N. The rifle costs 4 Supply and is usable by the Insurgents' Rifleman, Demolitions, Officer, and Observer classes.

==AKS-74UN==
The [[AKS-74U]] returns in the sequel. It is called an AKS-74U despite the Warsaw pact Rail on the side of the weapon making it in reality an AKS-74UN. The rifle is available for the Insurgents' Advisor and Breacher classes, and costs 4 Supply.

==AKMN==
The [[AKM|AKMN]] with a standard fixed stock replaces the folding stock [[AKMS]] from the previous game. It is called an AKM despite the Warsaw pact rail on the side of the receiver making it an AKMN. However the dovetail rail is not a first generation rail as seen on the real AKMN, probably the devs did not want to make a new model for it and just imported it from the AK-74N. The rifle is one of the cheapest Insurgent weapons available, costing 3 Supply. It is usable by the Rifleman, Demolitions, Officer, and Observer classes.

==M4A1==
The [[M4A1]] makes its return in the sequel. It is one of the most expensive primary weapons available to the Security forces, costing 5 Supply. It is usable by the Security Rifleman, Demolitions, Officer, and Observer classes.

==Mk 18 Mod 1==
The [[Mk 18 Mod 1]] replaces the Mk 18 Mod 0 from the original game, appearing as the '''Mk. 18 CQBR'''. As with the M4A1, it is somewhat higher-cost than basic rifles for the Security forces, though costs only 4 Supply. It can only be used by the Security Breacher and Advisor classes.

==M16A2==
The [[M16A2]] is a selectable assault rifle, serving as the Insurgents' counterpart to the [[M16A4]]; the rifles are nearly identical, save for the M16A2's inability to mount as many types of optics. It costs 3 Supply, and is usable by the Insurgent Rifleman, Demolitions, Officer, and Observer classes. The M16A2 also gains a heat shield handguard when a launcher is mounted.

==M16A4==
The [[M16A4]] returns from the previous game and is the cheapest rifle available to the Security forces, costing 3 Supply. It is usable by the Security Rifleman, Demolitions, Observer, and Officer classes.

==Enfield L85A2==
The [[L85A2]] is available to the Advisor class of the Security faction. By default, it has its original green plastic handguard; the Daniel Defense railed forend is used when mounting a laser or light module or adding a vertical grip. Like the Uzi in the previous game, it was a favorite workshop mod among the community. The SUSAT scope can also be equipped on the L85 as a unique attachment. It costs 5 Supply.

==Heckler & Koch G36K==
Another popular weapon mod from the previous game, the [[Heckler & Koch G36K]] is one of the primary weapons available to the Security forces. The ZF optical sight can be equipped on the G36K. It costs 4 Supply and is available to the Security Rifleman, Demolitions, Officer, and Observer classes. Notably, the G36K is prominently used during the tutorial map.

==QBZ-03==
An interesting choice alongside Security's VHS-2, the Insurgents get access to the [[Norinco QBZ-03]], specifically the 5.56 export version.
[[File:QBZ-03 556.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Norinco QBZ-03 with scope - 5.56x45mm]]

=Battle Rifles=

==FN FAL==
The [[FN FAL]] makes its return in the sequel. It is usable by the Insurgent Rifleman, Demolitions, Observer, and Officer. It costs 4 Supply and cannot be equipped with a grenade launcher, unlike the other rifles available to the Demolitions class.
[[Image:FN-LAR-with-Wood-Stock.jpg|thumb|none|500px|FN FAL with G1/StG 58 foreend and wooden buttstock - 7.62x51mm NATO. Note the folded bipod.]]

==FN SCAR-H STD==
Available to the Security's Advisor class, the [[FN SCAR-H]] makes its official debut in ''Sandstorm'' as the '''Mk. 17 Mod 0'''. It costs 3 Supply.

==H&K G3A3==
The [[Heckler & Koch G3A3]] officially appears in the game. It is usable by the Security forces' Rifleman, Demolitions, Observer, and Officer classes, and is the only rifle available to the Demolitions class that cannot equip a grenade launcher. It costs 4 Supply.

==Mk 14 Mod 1 Enhanced Battle Rifle==
The [[M14_Rifle#Mk_14_Mod_0.2F1_Enhanced_Battle_Rifle|Mk 14 Mod 1 EBR]] makes its way back from the previous title. It is available only to the Security Marksman class and costs 5 Supply.

==Norinco SKS-D==
The [[SKS|Norinco SKS-D]] returns from the previous game. It still has a "paratrooper" barrel, but now it also has its bayonet. Like in the previous game, it uses 20-round magazines although it can use 30 round AK mags with the "extended mags" modification, and the bolt still incorrectly locks open upon firing the last shot despite the lack of a bolt hold open on Chinese AK mag SKS models. It is available to the Insurgents' Adviser class.

==M240B==
The [[M240B]] GPMG was added in the March 2019 Content Update as the Security Gunner class' second option for LMGs, costing 4 Supply. It comes with a 50-round belt in a cloth pouch, but can be upgraded to a 100-round belt in a box magazine with other options of sights, barrel attachments and laser sight.

The [[M249_SAW#M249-E1 / M249-E2 / M249 Paratrooper SAW |M249]] is a primary weapon usable by the Security Gunner class, costing 3 Supply. It comes only with a 200-round belt and can be modified with optics, all barrel attachments and laser sights.

==MG3==
The [[MG3]] was added to the game during the March 2019 Content Update as another Insurgent primary weapon for the Gunner class costing 4 Supply. It has a high rate of fire at 1000 rpm, but virtually uncontrollable unless firing with bipod deployed. It comes with a 50-round belt in a drum pouch, but can be upgraded to use 100-round belts in a box magazine, along with optics, suppressor(!) and laser sight.

==PKM==
The [[PKM]] makes its long-awaited arrival to the series in ''Sandstorm.'' It is the Insurgent counterpart to the M240B, usable only by the Gunner class. It costs 3 Supply and comes only with a 100-round belt with options for optics, barrel attachments and laser sight.

=Shotguns=
==Remington 870==
The [[Remington 870]] makes its way into the game, replacing the [[Mossberg 590]] from the previous title. It features black furniture with a railed forend and scope rail added to the receiver, with a ghost ring rear sight. Strangely, it utilizes the Rem-Loc stock system found on the 870 MCS variant. This system allows for quick changes of the stock, and comes with its own unique forend, which the game has omitted in place of the police forend. It is usable by the Security Breacher class and costs 2 Supply.

==TOZ-194==
Also returning from the 2014 ''Insurgency'' is the Russian [[TOZ-194]] pump action shotgun. It is almost identical to the Remington 870 in nearly all respects, including its magazine size, rate of fire, damage, and so on. It costs 2 Supply and is available to the Insurgent Breacher.

==Remington M24==
The [[Remington_700#M24_Sniper_Weapon_System| Remington M24]] makes its way into the game, replacing the old [[M40| M40A1]]. It costs 2 Supply and can be used with ironsights or a variety of optics, up to and including a 7x scope. It reloads one bullet at a time and is usable only by the Security Marksman class.

==Mosin Nagant 1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant]] costs 2 Supply and is usable by the Insurgent Marksman and Advisor classes. By default is the M91/30 rifle with a straight bolt handle, the correct PU scope and turned down bolt handle are appropriately used when opting to use a scope in a fortunate aversion of the bubba-fied Mosin from the previous game. If there is not a scope mounted, the rifle can be used with stripper clips for faster reloading while empty, at the cost of extra Supply.

[[File:Sandstorm_Mosin_5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A modified Mosin with bipod deployed and a turned-down bolt handle. Unlike the previous incarnations, reloading a partially loaded magazine will have the operator cover the ejection port to prevent a wasted round from flying off, then load in the balance remaining. Strangely enough, only certain optics will trigger the turned-down bolt handle state (like the Holographic seen here), despite the fact that both the rails and sight would otherwise be non-intrusive over the ejection port.]]

==Izhmash SVD Dragunov==
The [[SVD_Dragunov#SVD_Dragunov|Izhmash SVD Dragunov]] is available to the Insurgent Marksman and Advisor classes. It can be used with a variety of optics, or even just iron sights.

==Barrett M107CQ ==

The [[Barrett_M82#Barrett M82/M107 CQ|Barrett M107CQ]] appears in-game as an optional weapon for the Marksman, as the most expensive rifle for the class.

==Zijiang M99==

The Chinese [[M99]] anti-materiel rifle appears as the counterpart to the Barrett, given to the Insurgent Marksman. Like a few other weapons, the M99 comes with it's own special scope, dubbed the "Type 99 scope" in the menu.
[[file:M99.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M99 - 12.7x99mm.]]

[[File:SandstormM99Irons.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Before banishing the machine's soul and giving us a decent look at it's mighty muzzle flash and iron sights. These flip up sights are shared with the flat-top AR's as a selectable option. The muzzle blast is also rendered in-game with both the M99 and M107, firing them too close to the user or walls will cause ear ringing and screen shake.]]
[[File:SandstormM99Scope.jpg|thumb|none|600px|On an unrelated note, a different M99 shows off the gun's unique scope, although it shares the same reticle as the Security's 7x scope.]]
[[File:SandstormM99Reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Having banished the machine spirit and given the user tinnitus, the reload begins similarly to the M107 by swapping the mags with the dominant hand.]]

=Launchers=
==Carl Gustav M3==
The [[Carl Gustav M3]] is the standard reusable launcher for the Security faction, and appears under its US Army designation as '''M3 MAAWS'''.

[[File:InsurgencySandstormMAAWSreload2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Before swapping rounds, relatching the tube and going to blow more things up.]]

==M136 AT4==
Another veteran from the previous game, the [[M136 AT4]] is also available to the Security Demolition class as their single shot launcher of choice.

==Panzerfaust 3==
The [[Panzerfaust 3]] is available to the Insurgents as their analogue of the AT4, being a single-shot launcher oddly enough.
[[Image:PNZFT3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Panzerfaust 3 with DM12A1 rocket and standard telescopic sight - 60mm]]

==RPG-7==
The [[RPG-7#RPG-7|RPG-7]] returns from previous games, as the obvious handheld launcher for the Insurgent faction.
[[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg|thumb|none|500px|RPG-7 - 40mm]]

[[File:InsurgencySandstormRPG7reload2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Before raising it to the shoulder and cocking the hammer.]]

=Mounted Weapons=
==DShK heavy machine gun==
The [[DShK heavy machine gun| DShKM]] is mounted on the Insurgents' pickup truck. It has unlimited ammunition and is capable of shredding targets through heavy cover like walls.
[[Image:DShK HMG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|DShKM - 12.7x108mm]]
