IGI 2: Covert Strike Offical Boxart Release Date: 2003 Developer: Innerloop Studios Publisher: Codemasters Series: Project IGI Platforms: PC / MAC OS Genre: First-Person Shooter / Stealth action

The following weapons appear in the video game IGI 2: Covert Strike:

Handguns

Colt Anaconda

The Colt Anaconda is only available in multiplayer. It is referred to as "Magnum", which is contradicted by the buying menu stating that it is chambered in .45 Long Colt.

Colt Anaconda - .44 Magnum

The Colt Anaconda in multiplayer.

Reloading; the casings still have bullets in them, even when the weapon is empty. Note also how the weapon model lacks the ejector rod required to remove the rounds.

Melee attack.

In third person, an ejector rod is appropriately present.

Desert Eagle Mark XIX

The Desert Eagle Mark XIX appears in the game, referred to as "D-Eagle", and used by Zaleb Said and his guards in the Libyan missions. It is one of the most powerful handguns in the game.

Desert Eagle Mark XIX - .50 AE

David Jones holds a Desert Eagle after having gotten rid of its previous owner. Note that the hammer is not in cocked position, even though it would be required in order to fire since it is a single-action pistol.

Reloading.

Pulling the slide.

Pistol-whipping.

The Desert Eagle in third person.

Glock 17

The Glock 17 is the starting pistol in the Russian levels and comes with a suppressor; it is referred to as the "G-17 SD". It provides accurate but weak firepower.

Glock 17 - 9x19mm

Melee attack.

Heckler & Koch Mk 23 Mod 0

The Heckler & Koch Mk 23 Mod 0 is referred in-game as the "Socom" and comes with a suppressor and a usable LAM unit. It provides suppressed but effective shots; it is used by David in the Libyan mission, and Anya holds one in the last cutscene of the game. In multiplayer, it is erroneously stated to be chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum.

Airsoft Heckler & Koch Mk 23 Phase II Prototype (note front cocking serrations, deleted from production models) with Tokyo Marui replica of a Knight's Armament suppressor and prototype Laser Aiming Module - (fake) .45 ACP

The Heckler & Koch Mk 23 Mod 0 being held. The hammer is never in cocked position, even though after firing the first shot it should be.

Reloading gives a good view of the left side. The presence of an extractor on this side, combined with the lack of a slide-release or decocking lever, would indicate that the whole weapon has been mirrored...

...except getting a look at the right side, as when racking the slide after a reload, shows that it still looks like it should, meaning the texture artists prioritized the side of the gun we're not supposed to get a good look at.

Third-person view of the Mk 23.

Makarov PM

The Makarov PM is used by Russian guards, and also by Russian and Chinese scientists as a backup weapon. Despite firing the 9x18mm round, it is attributed with a higher damage than the Glock 17. Wu Xing uses a Makarov PM (presumably standing in for the Type 59 Chinese copy) in the intro cuscene of the "Secret Weapons Lab" mission, where it uses the Desert Eagle's firing sound, likely due to the more dramatic sound of the Desert Eagle.

Makarov PM - 9x18mm Makarov

Reloading.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

The player starts the game with the Heckler & Koch MP5A3. It incorrectly offers a 3-round burst option, which would be the case for other variants like the MP5A5.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3 - 9x19mm

Reloading; note that the selector is on safe.

Heckler & Koch SMG II

The Heckler & Koch SMG II, a canceled MP5 program, is available in the game with its integrated suppressor. It is David Jones' secondary weapon in the missions set in China.

Heckler & Koch SMG II - 9x19mm

IMI Uzi

The IMI Uzi is used by Libyan guards. Dual-wielded Uzis can only be found in the multiplayer.

IMI Uzi with stock removed - 9x19mm

Like in the first game, the Uzi is incorrectly shown as a closed bolt weapon, and the first-person view depicts the player character as using it one-handed...

...while in third-person view, it is shown as used with two hands. The same applies to the MAC-10.

Reloading.

Cocking the Uzi.

Melee attack.

An Uzi on the ground.

Twin Uzis in multiplayer.

Ejecting the two magazines.

Inserting a fresh mag into the left Uzi.

Ingram MAC-10

The Ingram MAC-10 is used by Russian guards. In multiplayer, the buying menu states that it is chambered in .45 ACP, which contradicts the 32-round magazine used in-game.

Ingram MAC-10 - .45 ACP

Jones holding his newly acquired MAC-10 in the first level of the game.

Reloading. The ejection port is erroneously on the left side, and shows that the weapon is incorrectly treated as a closed bolt weapon.

Type 64

The integrally suppressed Type 64 SMG is used by Chinese special forces.

Type 64 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev

The Type 64 being used in "The Ancient Temple".

Reloading.

Pulling the charging handle.

Assault Rifles

Colt M16A2

The Colt M16A2 is a starting weapon in the Russian missions, equipped with an M203 grenade launcher. It is used by the IGI special forces in the last cutscene of the game. It incorrectly fires in fully-automatic mode (like an M16A3) instead of three-round burst.

Colt M16A2 - 5.56x45mm with M203 grenade launcher - 40mm

Reloading.

The M16A2 in third person. The longer barrel and adjustable rear sight can be easily seen, showing that it's a genuine M16A2 rather than an XM177 with a fixed stock to sort-of pass as one.

Heckler & Koch G11 K2

The Heckler & Koch G11 K2 is used by General Wu Xing in the "Secret Weapons Lab" mission, and is available to the player afterwards. It only fires in fast 3-round burst mode, and it offers a scoped view.

Heckler & Koch G11 K2 - 4.73x33mm

Jones ignores his timed mission and goes to the opposite way, Heckler & Koch G11 K2 in hand.

Heckler & Koch G36E

The Heckler & Koch G36E is only used by David in the Libyan missions. It incorrectly offers a 3-round burst option; the optional burst setting on real G36 variants is 2-round burst, nevermind the fact that the in-game weapon is modeled with an S-E-F trigger group, which lacks the burst function.

Heckler & Koch G36E - 5.56x45mm

The Heckler & Koch G36E being held.

Reloading; note the selector being on safe.

Norinco Type 56-1

The Norinco Type 56-1 appears; like the Zastava M70B1 from the first game, it is wrongly referred to as an AK-47. It is used by Russian and Chinese guards and Libyan special forces. In multiplayer, it is incorrectly listed as being chambered in 5.45x39mm.

Norinco Type 56-1 - 7.62x39mm

Shotguns

Benelli M4 Super 90

The Benelli M4 Super 90 appears under the U.S. nomenclature "M1014" (even though U.S. forces don't even appear in the game), and is used by Libyan and Chinese special forces.

Benelli M4 Super 90 - 12 gauge

Third-person view.

Pancor Jackhammer

The Pancor Jackhammer returns from the previous game, its appearance again being incorrect since the real Jackhammer never entered production. It can be found in the Libyan missions, and is also used by Priboi and Zaleb. Once again it has an erroneous cylinder capacity of 12 rounds instead of 10.

Pancor Jackhammer - 12 gauge

Barrett M82A1

The Barrett M82A1 is used by Chinese special forces. A version with a thermal vision scope is also available as the "M82A1-T" in "The Ancient Temple" mission.

Hybrid SVD Dragunov / PSL

Like in the first game, the "SVD Dragunov" (as referred in the text when picking up the weapon) is a hybrid of the SVD Dragunov and the Romanian PSL Sniper Rifle.

Sentry guns also consist of M2HBs, as opposed to the rotary guns used in the first game.

FN Minimi

The FN Minimi is used by Chinese guards, and can also be found in the Libyan mission. Like in the previous game, it is simply reloaded by changing the belt box without actually inserting the belt into the feed tray.

FN Minimi - 5.56x45mm

The FN Minimi being held.

The belt box about to be removed.

Reloading.

Jones having dropped his Minimi in favor of a Libyan guard's less powerful but lighter and more accurate Type 56-1 rifle.

Launchers

M203

The M203 grenade launcher is attached to the M16A2. Contrary to most the rest of the returning weapons from the first Project IGI, in this game the M203 is reanimated to properly depict it as a single-shot, break-open weapon that must be reloaded after every shot, rather than some sort of shotgun pump attachment that launches grenades so long as the user has any on their person.

RPG-7

The RPG-7 is available in the game with a PGO-7 scope. It is first seen in the mission "Ambush", where David Jones takes one from a Russian convoy to destroy an APC. The RPG is also used by Libyan special forces and Chinese guards.

Empty RPG-7s in IGI 2 appropriately lack the rocket model in third person, unlike multiple other video games.

Grenades & Explosives

Stun Grenade

Stun grenades (referred to as Flashbangs in-game) are used by Russian, Libyan and Chinese special forces in singleplayer, but are only available to the player in multiplayer.
