Asphronix 1 Posted May 12, 2019 I have been playing Arma 3 for the last 3 years and i am a very satisfied player.However,there are some things that can improve the gameplay a bit more,like the unused B_127x99_SLAP ammo for the M2 HMGs.I would love to see this ammo used in offroads which have mounted M2 HMGs.

joostsidy 685 Posted May 12, 2019 Sounds cool, but the SLAP ammo is not in the game at all at the moment right? It's not that it is available for one weapon but not for the other (I searched the asset wiki for this ammo type). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asphronix 1 Posted May 12, 2019 It isn't used by anything rn,i wanted to use it for a mission,but this bullet currently doesn't have a CfgMagazine,so i can't add it to a M2 HMG with the addMagazineTurret function 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ex3B 266 Posted May 13, 2019 Its easily modded in though. I've written some for my own use to give some airmobile units a bit more "teeth".... Ifrits firing SLAP ammo from their HMG still aren't really up for taking on Marshals and Rhinos. They do shred Nyx's pretty well though. But for the same of consistency, I also made HMGs firing 12.7x108mm APDS for CSAT, and made the NATO equivalents use the SLAP rounds. I think its not used though because the APDS/SLAP rounds were meant for antimaterial rifles, firing a few well aimed shots, and not to be spewed out of a heavy machinegun. Perhaps the SLAP went unused because NATO never got a .50 BMG rifle? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saboted_light_armor_penetrator They make such ammunition down to .308 caliber at least it seems. https://guns.fandom.com/wiki/Saboted_light_armor_penetrator So... I also plan to make a config adding .408 SLAP ammo to the M320 LRR. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ex3B 266 Posted May 13, 2019 A script won't work unfortunately, you need to load it as a mod. Its a simple mod, but a mod none-the-less. Which means you can't make a multiplayer scenario with these without requiring other people to also load the mod. I could host such a mod on steam, then all that would be required is clicking subscribe on steam, and selecting the mod from the launcher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
