Submachine gun in handgun slot?

[perineum 0]

I'm at work and can't really play with this right now, but does anyone think this is easy to do with the weapons config? Shouldn't it just be a matter of changing it from a primary weapon to a whatever the handgun term is? Probably same with the magazine? Has anyone done this? I have changed two handed primary weapons like the m107 and m240 from two slots to one slot, so I guess I assume it was be that easy to put a primary weapon in the handgun slot. I hope it is anyway.

So is this an addon your working on or a request? If it is an add-on question this might be better off on the addon edit thread.

check out robert hammers pistol mod rh_de.pbo - he's got uzis, micro uzis, skorpions, mac10's etc in the pistol slot

Thanks for the suggestion eggbeast, i'll check those out. My idea was more of a submachine gun for heavy snipers to use when in town. I posted in the request thread. Hopefully someone will bite. Thanks for the reply.

If you want to carry an extra long arm or smg ACE mod gives you the option to carry an extra one. You can also place one in your backpack also.

Im not sure my LAN friends are ready for ACE. Vanilla is just about right for them. That is an option I will check into though. Are you saying that ACE lets you carry two primary weapons or do you have a backpack that you can keep a second one in?

You don't need a backpack for it. You can "sling" extra weapon to your back. I normally do the sniper recon thing also. I will carry my primary sniper rifle (changes depending on target and location) and an mp5 as a back up close up weapon. backpack has extra mags for each plus some claymores, smoke and medical gear for two. ACE mod is not that hard to use once you get over how to update.

I remember having a script that let you carry two long gums also. Quick search might find that for you.

micro uzis etc here:

i wouldn't mind a small mod for the secondary weapon, principally for the M79 and M32 to be shoulder slung along with an M16 etc. I made this as a tweak for OA/unsung but making it a launcher class (to go on left shoulder) screws with the animation/ tags. I guess 'd have to look into ACE to see how they did it.

this should be in General Discussion

Ok, so it's easy to edit a weapon to fit in a handgun slot, but only if you want to hold it like a handgun. It's pretty funny looking. Probably not the way to go. Thanks for all the other tips though. I'll be checking out the ACE mod.
