GALIL GUN GUIDE | Insurgency Sandstorm

[@S1deshowRob]

I just never find myself ever needing these guns, mainly because there’s other weapons that serve the gunner role much better, but also because there’s no children throwing rocks in insurgency so there’s really not any niche for it to fill it’s real life role

If the Galil had access to the 75-round drum magazine attachment like it did in Source, I think having it as a Gunner-only weapon would make sense, but 50% more mag capacity that costs a whopping three fucking credits is some stupidity only rivaled by the MP5s, which have a 3-point magazine upgrade that increases total ammo by fucking 33%.

I see the galil as the “I want to play gunner but my team eats glue and not able to cap the obj so I guess I’m going to need to do it” weapon. I have a gunner loudout that is just room clearing galil for when my team is hot garbage and I need to be in the front lines

[@jmh5581]

Exactly, the problem with a support-ish role like gunner in a game like this is you can only effectively act as a gunner if your team is already doing well, in which case they don't really need the support you might provide anyway

galil is stupid an ak74 or qbz95 with extendedmag/drum mag and bipod does as good or better of a job its a huge waste for the gunner class the only reason why you play gunner class is to play either the m249 for the 200 rounds mag dump of a gun or the m240b that take out pretty much anyone with 1 hit at any range or hose down enemy under cover.

I used to use the galil as a kind of "sneaky" lmg. Taking it drum magazine, flash hider and a 2x or a 4x scope. You don't get tracers and without extra ammo you are harder to spot because you don't have a backpack either. Only gripe with this playstyle is that you only get 150 rounds.

[@bobbleheadeater3209]

[@connorwinter9257]

As gunner, I only use the Galil when it's a close in map without a lot of sightlines or places to mount up. And yeah, it basically is an AR masquerading as a SAW.

[@brucekendall9873]

I think the point is they're trying to make it somewhat realistic, you're playing as insurgents who are using any equipment they can get their hands on and often use weapons that conventionally wouldn't fit in that class, but make due with it. Probably often substituting LMG's with other weapons. I like 90% of the general idea I think it gives this game an aesthetic gritty edge but maybe they could compromise just a tad bit more for balance. Also the galil iron sights are so easy to use I think you just really suck at using iron sights its not that hard at all

[@Goosegoosegoose24]

Gunner is one of my fav picks when defending on push or Frontline. Maybe my aim just sucks but I like the Galil because if I'm pushed off position I have a relatively light and agile rifle to use until I get to a new spot.

[@33up24]

How would you feel if they added RPK/M27 to the gunner class? Would they feel too samey to the Galil? Otherwise the only thing they can do is add another belt fed MG which I don't think the game needs. That's why I think the RPK/M27 are the perfect pick for a new gunner gun. Either that or something crazy like Semi auto shotguns only available for the gunner class, if they ever add a saiga / Benelli m4.

[@jordanford8071]

Problem is that the m27 is a rifle, I think gunner should be dedicated to those heavier weapons. Then again, the 240b is a crew serve so......

[@jordanford8071]

@@NyanchsPage I get that logic but the heavier weapons allow you to set up isolation by fire on a target. When done properly this is an invaluable aid to the securing of an objective. By design and use a heavy weapons system isn't meant to secure an objective but suppress and allow your maneuver element to move more freely. If you start incentivising people to select the gunner class because they can take certain rifles then you're creating just another rifleman and losing that all important element. That being said, the state of the game does mean the gunner class isn't being used in this role often because most people don't understand the concept or choose not to exercise that role. So I can understand the flip side of it. That level of coordination isn't all to common and already too many gunners try to use the MG platforms as an assault kit so I don't know. I'd love for the RPK and M27 to be in the game. RPK should be a gunner weapon as it's used as an organic support weapon. The m27 was implemented at first in that role but has now taken on the standard battle rifle role, at least in the USMC so I think it would be more suited in rifleman or advisor. Nonetheless gunners need love and whatever they choose to add (if ever) I wouldn't consider a net negative.

[@deathrow5261]

I’d feel that if they added the RPK-16 for security, and a Dp-28 for insurgents would be good

I really don't understand why they chose the galil for gunner when they have a functioning (save for sound) RPK model, like I feel they could give galils to riflemen, actually finish the RPK and give the Sec boys an M27, they mirror eachother very well and both have access to higher capacity drums/magazines

[@andreivaldez2929]

M27 is just an HK416. Because we had a retarded Navy Admiral move into the Marine Corps as a General and then declare it to be our new "machine gun" to replace the M249 doesn't suddenly make it a machine gun in the traditional sense. By that logic then you could just take any automatic rifle and throw it into the Gunner class. I think a better idea would've been to make the Galil come with the 50 round magazines to be the weapon you pick to bridge the gap between the typical rifles and traditional machine guns.

[@giahuynguyenkim6389]

@@andreivaldez2929 I mean USMC isn't US Army

The funny thing about the Galil is that it didn’t see much service with the Israelis. Because the US was quite generous with M16s and M4s (which if you have seen InRange, is well sealed and does well in dust and sand), there wasn’t much room or need to use their domestic service rifles, and when they wanted something new they instead went for the Tavor.

Nah. HK416 should go to Rifleman or Advisor, keep real machine guns in the Gunner class, or at least give us larger magazines as the default for Gunner.

[@leonelindeque4712]

The galil sar is actually the south african version

[@optimise.]

The Galil is a perfect gun for the gunner class, and is in fact what most experienced players use when playing that role. It allows you to both fulfill the role of a gunner effectively by cutting off enemy reinforcements and holding down key map areas, but also lets you be mobile and have offensive capabalities because of its handling. If it wasn’t for the galil barely anybody would use Gunner. As for the difference between the galils. The Security SAR variant has a shorter barrel which is why we see the slight differences between the two. And as for the Gunner class needing more content. It doesn’t. You already have a light, medium and heavy machine gun options to pick from and there isn’t much that could be added to change that. Don’t get me wrong, it’d be cool to see something like an RPK, but that’s about it. Yeah, it would be cool, do we need it? Absolutely not.

[@thatonenigeriansformula]

As much as it sucks to only have 5 picks for Gunner, I still think they need to do something with the existing Machine guns before adding new ones. Barely anyone plays Gunner. Machine guns are total memes that turn you either into discount Breacher cuz of their atrocious recoil (I know that nothing can be fully realistic in-game, but no Machine gun kicks that much), or discount Marksman cuz of the same reason, but bipods exist. Also, Galil is worth 3 supply points, fite me

[@griz312]

I think no one plays gunner because they don’t change the way they play. They play like a Rifleman and get demolished. In push it’s best to play in defensive positions to block movements with a base of fire.

[@nathanielkidd2840]

Have you tried firing an MG3/240B standing? Don’t know about the MG3, but the 240 weighs 27lbs dry, and is not controllable standing. There is a reason they’re mounted in vehicles, or a fixed position. They’re not designed to be used like they are in game, that’s what a M249/RPD/M27IAR/RPK is for. They’re MMGs, crew served weapons that are supposed to be mounted, not have infantry running around with them.

Bad review. This gun is not good, it’s easily the worst besides the Welrod but that’s clearly a joke gun not intended to be seriously used. The stopping power is pathetic, the mag is pathetic, the sights are maybe the most irritatingly obstructive of any in the game, and it’s 2 points. Oh but it gets a bipod by default, lucky us. The fact that there are 2, but one is just a worse version of the other adds insult to injury. I hate to say it, but this is a noob gun, something people use because they don’t know the game well enough to know not to. Avoid it. Period. Literally, just use a 2 pt pistol and pick up an insurgent gun on the first round of outpost, it’s more likely to get you killed than kill since it can easily take more than 3 shots to drop an enemy. So it’s entirely possible to start mag dumping a bot, hit every shot point blank, and it not be quick or powerful enough to drop them before they can one shot you. It’s also funny that you think this is really good, but gloss over other much better, more skill based weapons. Particularly everything with a high fire rate, which if mastered can be the fastest and most accurate weapons.
