:Couple things to add here - the MP5A5 turns into an MP5SD6 when fitted with a suppressor (the A2 just gets a normal, non-integrated can instead), and the PF940 is accurately named - it's not named after a gun, but a kit. "PF940" is actually the name of a commercially-available (at least in the US, at any rate) incomplete polymer frame that can fit standard Glock parts (slides, magazines, trigger components, etc.) with a few cuts and holes; to make this easier, it comes with a bracket that has all the holes you need to drill lined up. The idea is that it lets you make your own gun (from a legal standpoint) instead of buying one, so you don't have to go through a dealer. As far as its appearance in-game, it's just like you said - a clever way of getting around Glock's anal-retentive legal team. [[User:Pyr0m4n14c|Pyr0m4n14c]] ([[User talk:Pyr0m4n14c|talk]]) 21:32, 28 February 2019 (EST) P.S.: I also noticed that the M240B has an appropriate 50-round cloth ammo bag; when you upgrade it, that gets replaced with what I'm pretty sure is a cardboard box. Also, I've never heard the phrase "almonds activated" before, but I am definitely going to be using it from here on out. Thanks, Ed. | :Couple things to add here - the MP5A5 turns into an MP5SD6 when fitted with a suppressor (the A2 just gets a normal, non-integrated can instead), and the PF940 is accurately named - it's not named after a gun, but a kit.

::Ahh, you beat me to the MP5SD6 - was going to add that to the MP5A5 bit in my first comment.

- I have the closed alpha and it's a G36K, also there used to be an L85A2 and a genuine SVD. PKM lmg is also confirmed for insurgent faction. For sidearms, i noticed the Tariq (iraqi made Beretta 951) and the L105A1 (Sig P226), the Makarov returns as well.--Death Shadow20 (talk) 06:26, 5 March 2018 (EST)
- Please then edit the page with the correct or missing weapons. I do not have access to the closed alpha of the game (I was too late damn it!) so I can only base myself on the gameplays.--James Dalcan (talk)
- New World Interactive said that the closed alpha is now finished, can't access any PvE nor PvP options. Im off to work for a while thus will not have access to my computer and im afraid to screw things up if i use my phone...--Death Shadow20 (talk) 12:41, 10 March 2018 (EST)
Name update
It's Insurgency: Sandstorm, with a colon, if an admin would so kindly do the honors.--AgentGumby (talk) 22:07, 24 March 2018 (EDT)
Other Weapons
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FndHBuAUgvQ Should we add these to the list, or wait for NWI to release them? Orange1912 (talk) 21:48, 22 January 2019 (EST)
February 28th update
5 new guns in this update:
PF940 - I guess Glock had its almonds activated over its gun being in the game
MG3 which has armour piercing rounds for some reason
M240B which also has AP rounds for some reason
(both weapons above use the same ammo as the M24, essentially making them full auto M24s in terms of penetration power and damage)
M249 has had its AP rounds removed, now loaded with ordinary 5.56 NATO
MP5A2 - MP5 variant for Insurgents
MP5A5 - MP5 variant for Security

Getting images
I'm gonna try to get to work getting images of the weapons. It might take a while. I really wish this game had a shooting range or something where you can mess around with the guns in peace... --PyramidHead (talk) 01:49, 1 March 2019 (EST)
- The new update is supposed to add a test range. You could also try empty servers or the Co-op ones.--AgentGumby (talk) 13:17, 1 March 2019 (EST)
