These changes also slightly affect ammo-bearers backpack load-outs. Set up proper mass values for all optics. Previous values did not considered used models (generally too small) Decreased weight of PCML (NLAW) rocket allowing Independent Rifleman (AT) to carry one more rocket of this type in his backpack.
