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 while being able to use its unique scope, dubbed "A2 Scope". It costs 3 supply points, and is usable by the Insurgents' Rifleman, Demolitions, Commander, and Observer classes. The M16A2 also gains a heat shield handguard when a launcher is mounted.

Work In Progress

This article is still under construction. It may contain factual errors. See Talk:Insurgency: Sandstorm for current discussions. Content is subject to change.


Insurgency: Sandstorm
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Release Date: December 12, 2018
Developer: New World Interactive
Publisher: New World Interactive
Platforms: PC & Consoles
Genre: First-Person Shooter


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, larger maps, usable vehicles, new reload mechanics and much more features to come.

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 is only able to use certain Security-exclusive weapons and attachments.

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


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 points.

Colt M1911A1

The classic .45 M1911A1 returns as the Insurgents' equivalent to the Security's more modern M1911-based pistols. It has long 1911 trigger with diamond grips and blued finish. It costs 2 supply points and is currently the hardest-hitting Insurgents' pistol.

Colt M45A1

The 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 M1911A1, it costs 2 supply points and acts as Security's .45 pistol.

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 19M. It appears that it 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. It is currently the most expensive Security's pistol costing 3 supply points.

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's pistol to cost 1 supply point.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A2

The First Major Content Update added in two variants of the MP5 submachine gun. The Insurgents received the older MP5A2 variant for the Breacher class, which features the early "slimline" handguard and "waffle" magazine. It costs 3 supply points.

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's Breacher class and uses its flush 20-round magazine, with the 40-round extended magazine being available for extra supply points. The base gun costs 4 supply points.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 2 supply points, 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.

Assault Rifles

AK-74N

The AK-74N returns from the previous game as the AK-74, although the Warsaw Pact rail makes it an AK-74N. The rifle costs 4 supply points and is usable by the Insurgents' Rifleman, Demolitions, Commander, and Observer classes.

AKMN

The AKMN with a standard fixed stock replaces the folding stock AKMS from the previous game. Like the rest of the AK's, it's modeled with a Warsaw Pact rail, albeit a newer version lifted from the AK-74N model. The rifle is one of the cheapest Insurgents' weapons available, costing 3 supply points. It is usable by the Rifleman, Demolitions, Commander, and Observer classes.

AKS-74UN

The AKS-74U returns as the AKS-74U, and like the other AKs, it has the Warsaw Pact rail making it an AKS-74UN. The rifle is available for the Insurgents' Advisor and Breacher classes, and costs 4 supply points.

Alpha AK

The Alpha AK, a customized AK used by the Russian Spetsnaz Alpha Group and featuring a Zenit RIS handguard, a railed dust cover, and a Tromix extended charging handle, is a new Insurgents' weapon in Sandstorm available to the Advisor class which costs 4 supply points.

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 4 supply points.

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 as the "ISM scope". It costs 4 supply points and is available to the Security's Rifleman, Demolitions, Commander, and Observer classes. Notably, the G36K is prominently used during the tutorial map.

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 while being able to use its unique scope, dubbed "A2 Scope". It costs 3 supply points, and is usable by the Insurgents' Rifleman, Demolitions, Commander, and Observer classes.

M16A4

The M16A4 returns from the previous game and is the cheapest rifle available to the Security forces, costing 3 supply points. It is usable by the Security's Rifleman, Demolitions, Observer, and Commander classes.

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 4 supply points. It can only be used by the Security's Breacher and Advisor classes.

Norinco 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. It costs 5 supply points, making it currently the most expensive assault rifle for Insurgents. On the Update 1.4, it has its own unique scope dubbed "Type 03 Scope".

Norinco SKS-D

The 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 bolt hold open on Chinese AK mag SKS models. It is available to the Insurgents' Advisor class and costs 2 supply points.

MG3

The MG3 was added to the game during the First Major Content Update as the counterpart of M240B for the Insurgents' Gunner class costing 4 supply points. 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.

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's Breacher class and costs 2 supply points.

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 points and is available to the Insurgents' Breacher class.

Mosin Nagant 1891/30

The Mosin Nagant costs 2 supply points and is usable by the Insurgents' Marksman class. By default it is the M91/30 rifle with a straight bolt handle and hex receiver, 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 points.

Remington M24

The Remington M24 makes its way into the game, replacing the old M40A1. It costs 2 supply points and can be used with iron sights 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's Marksman class.

Mounted Weapons

AGM-114 Hellfire ATGM

The Security's AH-64 Apache (AKA "Assassin") is armed with eight AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank guided missiles in two packs of four, as well as two Hydra 70mm rocket pods at the wing mounts. The Assassin will fire its missiles into the marked area before switching to the mockup 30mm Cannon.

Browning M2HB

The Browning M2HB appears mounted on the Security's technicals as the counterpart of DShK. The unusable low-detail models can be found on vehicles as environmental props in some maps.

Aiming the M2HB, like the DShK, it uses a wire AA sight over the standard irons. Note the small #1 mark on the top cover, likely an arsenal marking.

DShK heavy machine gun

The DShKM is mounted on the Insurgents' technicals. It has unlimited ammunition and is capable of shredding targets through heavy cover like walls. Oddly enough, it is mounted on the Assassin as the 30mm Cannon, instead of the accurate M230 Chain Gun.

General Dynamics GAU-19/A

The GAU-19/A is mounted on Security's UH-60 Blackhawk (AKA "Cleric"), where it is being used by the door gunners. The gun also ejects spent casings when firing.
