Those SCARs are looking really good. Hope they're not too far away.

[dav 22]

great work, keep it coming and a big thanks!

[Sorken 19]

Awesomesauce! Will for sure use the shit out of them, once released :)

Any plans on making a SSR Mk20? :rolleyes:

[Flipper 1]

Any infos on your work on MM23 ek Light machine gun?

[nickobus 16]

Very nice work, especially since these weapons are of high quality and are of less common weapons. Particularly the SAR-21. I understand you have a bunch on your list but I hope you will consider making more weapons from Singapore, i.e. Ultimax 100. I know EricJ has made it but with no offense to him intended, I felt the Ultimax 100 was lacking compared to his other stuff (texture and sound).

we are doing the BMCR..i may look into the ultimax 100 MK8 for V3 we will see

OMG YES YES! didn't realize, that is a 5.56 HK21! so freakin awesome to see! on the same note do you guys plan on doing a HK21 since there so close just different calibers?

Awwww yiss, damn, not sure if you mentioned those two before but hot damn do you know how to make a guy happy hoho. I actually didn't realize the BCMR is a version of the SAR 21, man, ST Kinetics has made so many versions, including one that has WiFi. I hope to see Ultimax MK8 but regardless, love you and your team's work and I look forward to more of your stuff. Keep it up~

[jinougaf 11]

Really nice pictures,wish to see them in game soon.

[garverick 1]

Just thought here i saw in V3 your going to release a AK12, now with that thought the AK12 is a very verstile AK platform, what you guys think bout doing it with the 60 round casket mag, HLC did a good AK12 standard version you could say, i think for the sake of variety around here yours could be a casket mag or even the 95round drum mag. just a thought for you guys to mull.

[LOzan 10]

Any intention to update the SCAR reload animations? They just don't seem up to snuff with the quality of the other weapons in the pack

[Sgt DeWolf 21]

Great work. Weapons are beautiful and the testing range mission is the best I've seen yet.

Recently in vanilla Arma 3 there was a change in projectile velocity on suppressed weapons. Suppressors ADD about 10% to the velocity of the projectile. Your new weapons DECREASE projectile velocity by about 20%.

Here's an example of the drop on an Mk17 at 300m:

Looks like about a 300mm drop at 300m.

Do you have plans on modifying the ballistics on the vanilla weapons or maybe adding subsonic magazines? Just for consistency.

We did originally experiment with Sub-Sonic ammunition, it was nice with the Sub-Sonic ammunition when used with or without a silencer not having the Sub-Sonic crack.

[blazenchamber 261]

Easy fix i will change the values before next update.

[Spartan0536 188]

OK I will explain how Suppressors work in RL in a basic sense....

All a suppressor does is reduce muzzle flash and initial report (not the sonic crack from the supersonic round itself, just the unburnt powders and the rapidly expanding gasses exiting the muzzle), using supersonic ammo in a suppressor is ok as long as the suppressor is designed to handle the extra "dirt" and the baffling system can withstand the pressures, you will reduce initial report and flash but your rounds will still crack. Suppressors actually INCREASE SLIGHTLY your velocity and accuracy, not by much but a little perhaps 3-8% depending upon the design and the cartridge. Subsonic ammo is an entirely different beast and you WILL notice significant drop compensation with subsonic over supersonic ammo, this is just physics 101.

+to that...

Why everyone still assumes that suppressors should lower bullet velocity and/or hit force? Theoretically it can reduce muzzle velocity in auto fire (residual gas in a can), but because of back-pressure it actually increase velocity by ~20-30fps. Like Spartan said Subsonic ammo is entirely different beast - For removing sonic crack there's a trade-off - subsonic bullet speed (thus lower impact force). Also integrally suppressed systems reduce bullet speed by leaking gas through barrel ports. So unless its sub-sonic or integral - suppressors does not affect or slightly increase muzzle velocity.

[Sgt DeWolf 21]

The slight increase in velocity in vanilla weapons is in the ballpark, but the weapon should be much louder than it is. The SMA weapons seem to be operating as though they are utilizing subsonic rounds but are using standard rounds. So neither is really correct.

[blazenchamber 261]

ok good thanks.

What are the vanilla values for suppressors ?

[vaggos_x 10]

Great work!

[blazenchamber 261]

<<<<<<<<<< UPDATE V1.7 >>>>>>>>>

Last update before V2 .

changelog and download on front page..

Also redone key and bisigns, if it does not work this time i am out of ideas.

Hope all works well.

Ok so here are some WIP pics of V2 weapons ,

Basically all models are done for V2 just working on textures now (these pics are untextured)

Looking forward to Update 2.0 :)

btw

I was hoping for a MSR, there is no mod which have a MSR, would be awesome to have the MSR with your Quality standards
