The basic infantry of the ISP, ISP Soldiers are well-trained and dedicated warriors. Though lacking much of the sophisticated equipment or natural abilities of other factions’ ground troops, they have proven themselves to be tenacious and resourceful in the field.
The standard ISP service rifle is the M50, a chemically propelled weapon firing 12.7×50 mm rounds at an effective range of approximately 900 meters. ISP soldiers generally carry these, along with .50 caliber M12 pistols as sidearms, Mk 88 concussive grenades for room clearing, and a tungsten carbide bayonette for emergencies. Their body armor is made of bullet-resistant material, with newly implemented heat-diffusing properties for when up against more advanced weaponry.
