MK18 Mod 1

[falcao 11]

I was referring to the MK18s. I have no plans to do any other weapons at this time.

Sure. I said that because it's good to have like a "complete" weapon pack that you can use with a fire team, not having to add other weapons mods. Anyway buddy, those suggestions above would be very welcome. Thanks again.

are new parts in the cards? if yes, would you consider adding a new butt-stock?

but aside from that I don't know what could be added to these. they're perfect already

although, I second a bipod request. an animated bipod would be sick

make it compatible with ASDG Jointrails(an extra opcional file)

it is compatible already, look in the @ASDG folder for a Mk18 PBO

maybe a new camo? the one make with the net!

or this, front and rear sight

Besides a 203 variant...

A collapsed stock variant or option.

A less/non tan, black version.

The RH Mk262 config compatibility I sent over.

Having a collapsed stock would make the rifle look numpty (hand through the mag or the stock away from the shoulder) unless new animations were made.

The reason it's flat dark earth (tan) is because that's what the rails used on the Mk18 Mod 1 are like from the manufacturer, the earlier Mod 0 was all black however it also used the older M16A2 style sights and the original KAC RIS handguard.

Generally if someone is going to go to the effort of painting it they'll cam it rather than going all black too :P

Airsoft clones... eh.

That's the old sight that was used on the CQBR before flip up sights become more widely used, the first versions were literally the original carrying handle with the front cut off... now they're almost never used but rather replaced with either KAC of Magpul BUIS's

In this case, KAC: http://i4.minus.com/ibl4kD28BrOie6.jpg

a 203 variant...

perhaps even an m320 variant?

[ardvarkdb 104]

Buttstocks don't' really add to the weapon in any way, it's purely cosmetic. If Arma 3 had the same weapon customization DayZ standalone had I might consider it, but it wouldn't be worth the effort to add another buttstock. I might look into some additional iron sights though.

Always right! =)

Is that in reference from my little wishlist or sorophx?

[sorophx 25]

both, I think ;)

[ardvarkdb 104]

Yeah both. A new stock wouldn't really change the gameplay of the weapon any to make it worth the effort, and there are a fair amount of variations as it is. New ironsights might be a nice alternative for people who don't like the magpul ones, and that does have a direct impact on gameplay, as does a GL variant.

[ei8ght 11]

the iron sight is perfect the only true loss of this wonderful addons is a GL variant and why not the better sound.

[Cribsoffer 1]

I know its an absolute long shot, but what are the chances of an optional config that lets the MK 18's utilize massi's NATO/SF STANAGs?

[gatordev 219]

I was referring to the MK18s. I have no plans to do any other weapons at this time.

Assuming that you're also referring to the MK18 MOD 1 (as opposed to cofig'ing RH's previous MOD 0 model), it seems like some KAC sights would be the way to go for an addon that's mostly complete already. That said, adding JSRS compatibility would be fantastic, too, if you're interested.

[13islucky 10]

Honestly I wouldn't mind having some of the Block 2s and MK18s to have black/dark front rails that fit the rest of the weapon. I don't know how authentic that is when it comes to the way they're issued but it would defo look nice.

[coffeeshock 20]

It's just a minor cosmetic issue, but are you going to fix the block II barrel length? It's slightly too long, almost a 16" barrel...

[sorophx 25]

are considering config changes as well? would be cool to have tracer rounds and Mk262 ammo for these babies

[ardvarkdb 104]

Yeah there will be config changes. Not sure what all will be included but it should at least have the Mk262 ammo. I'm slowly making progress on things. I have the basics for the M4 GL variant done. Currently working on making some KAC sights.

Hi ard, I did a weapon mods evaluation test recently and found that the users hand gripping on the foregrips of these weapons was rather awkward. Could it be looked into?

Curious. What is that exactly?

[agamennone 0]

GL with or without grip?

[bl2ck dog 80]

Wow, this grip is ugliest weapon attachment I ever saw )))

[ardvarkdb 104]

There will be both a foregrip and non-foregrip M203 version.

Can you better define "rather awkward"? Maybe a picture or something to point out what you are referring to.

[pwnage_51 10]

Would you consider making a variant with stock collapsed instead of extended?

[ardvarkdb 104]

A new stock wouldn't really change the gameplay of the weapon any to make it worth the effort, and there are a fair amount of variations as it is. New ironsights might be a nice alternative for people who don't like the magpul ones, and that does have a direct impact on gameplay, as does a GL variant.

Already stated. A collapsed stock would require more effort than reward at this point. New animations so it didn't look goofy and no affect on gameplay for a minor variation is not something I am interested in. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but weapon length didn't affect weapon maneuverability in Arma 3, so there is no benefit to a stock length modification aside from purely cosmetic, and there is enough cosmetic variety already in the pack.

[disco.modder 116]

Ran a few weapon mods together and did a bit of a review.

As pointed by the arrow:

I thought the way he grips the foregrip looks weird. It seems like his hand is dislodged of the socket and bought down a bit to grip the piece, if you get what I mean.

Anyways maybe a variant with the foregrip closer to the mag? Perhaps even variants without the foregrip, but the player hand on the magazine like below?
