Insurgency: Sandstorm[]
The Mk 14 EBR is a battle rifle featured in Insurgency: Sandstorm.
The Mk 14 EBR is a battle rifle that functions well in a variety of scenarios, but comes at a hefty cost.
The MK 14 EBR, like most of the battle rifles, chambers the massive 7.62x51 NATO round. This round is huge- most enemies hit with this bullet will be dead. This round will punch through even the heaviest of armored rigs and can even turn heads into mist at closer ranges. The Mk 14 EBR fires this large round very fast. At 850 m/s, any round within 85m will act as hitscan. Any targets beyond that, however, will rarely need much adjustment to be on target.
Fed from a 20 round box magazine, the Mk 14 EBR has a decent capacity, and packs enough rounds to kill many enemies with precision, but can't be increased in any way. Ammo can also be blown away in an instant when using the Mk 14's special feature: fully automatic fire. Flicking the fire selector to its 'automatic' setting will change the Mk 14 from a precision instrument to a close range beast. In full auto, fire rate increases monumentally, firing almost as fast as the M4 family of weapons at 732 RPM. This is insanely fast for a battle rifle that can one shot anywhere in the body in CQB.
This makes it somewhat of a versatile implement, with the ability to reach targets at range and having an insane room clearing capability. Such power does not come free, however. The Mk 14 EBR is among the most expensive firearms in the game, costing 6 credits to equip. Also, it is only available to Marksmen, meaning only a couple of soldiers per unit can use it.
Because of its hefty cost, attachments and equipment will be on a tight budget. On such a budget, there has to be a choice between bringing more equipment such as ammo carriers, armored vests, grenades, and sidearms, or decking out the Mk 14 with attachments such as grips, sights, and muzzle attachments.

Trivia[]
General
- The EBR variant that appears in both games is the Mk 14 mod. 1.
- As an Easter Egg, the back of the Mk 14's receiver says "NWI Industries Armory" instead of the real-world "Springfield Armory" markings, as an obvious reference to New World Interactive.
- The Mk 14 in both games features a buffer tube and a Mk 18 SOPMOD stock.
Insurgency
- The M14 has the highest vertical recoil of all carbines, assault rifles, SMGs, LMGs, and pistols.
- The M14 EBR uses a scout mount rail, meaning optics are attached near the barrel of the weapon.
