Is it just me or does half of the expended ammo go flying into orbit when it hits the ground? The other half of the ammo looks really cool though :P

I really like the M-60 in the pack

importing from other games is sort of illegal anyway without author concent.. as with editing full-game ofp odol models. Unless you have written permission from bis like most prominent ofp mods has.. ToW, RHS, FDF, BAS, etc.

Most of the weapons are little bit oversized and some muzzleflashes are HUGE. The shotguns shoot single bullets and the non-disappering shells are b*shit, as said above half of team flies away somewhere.

Well you all have right. Looking forward for updated version. For me Inquistor weapon pack is the best. Especially Paa version....

But VAS dont have any money from it. He gaves credit to Raven Sowtware in readme. There is a thin line between legality and unlegality here....

And IMHO they've crossed it. Giving credit isn't enough, you have to actually go and ask for permission before you start converting. I don't think the people that made these weapons want the models available for free .

As if anyone from Raven actually cares about models from a game thats been out for "awhile" now.

Its age is irrelevant, as you are only supposed to have these models if you've paid for them (Except the ones in the demo). As for whether they care, why don't you try asking on their forums ?

Well, we are still on topic, though somewhat loosely .

May I remind you what happened with Martin, when somebody said he had stolen textures from M$-FS2004? Discussions like these lead to nowhere, because it's already too late, he has already released it and nothing's going to stop people from redistributing and using them.

Back on topic, the USAS12 feels really nice. I wish it was properly configured as a shotgun... I wish somebody made some more automatic shotguns like Pancor Jackhammer, Neostad or H&K CAWS.... Anybody?

IMHO Shotguns are nice, but they are useless. OFP AI is to stupid for good combat in cities. There are mainly fights in the open fields. Maybe in OFP 2? Personally i liked most pistols from this pack. After all there is some nice "usual" sidearm for US.

Cool. but if you make john mulans skin 2withe all those guns that will be more realistic

Oh come on... I don't care about how stupid AI is... I just kill'em Still, if you make some effort to setup everything properly (eg. put AI snipers on rooftops, in buildings), missions in densesly urbanized terrain are far more interesting than conquering the next field/forest/hill/whatever. Unfortunatelly, my AI teammates are still dumb. As you said, let's all hope this will be changed in OFP2.

Hmmmmm .... this M60 looks just ..... outstanding!  

The AK is great textured as well! Very nice!

I'm i right in thinking that the bayonet doesn't work? *Hopes that he's not right*

Nice work Gents!

This pack is pretty fun, and there are a few points that I like more than others.

The wa the pistols have blowback is great, especially with holding the slide back after mag is empty, as per a real weapon. The tracers seem to go on forever, haven't tried yet to test it with AI shooting at me from long distance yet to see just how far they go.

About the bayonets...yes, they work...sort of. The units with bayonets have sort of a "weapon" added to them called "Bayonet" that when chosen you can click to fire, and your guy does the rifle stroke animation. It's pretty tricky though, not 100% effective. You have to be standing in just the right way to do any damage with it, and the enemy takes a couple seconds to register the hit. Another drawback, yuo can "drop" the bayonet weapon, which appears on the ground. Anyone else can then come along and "pick up" the bayonet weapon for use, even without having the rifle.

Still, this is a fun little weapons pack.

Strange, I didn't think that Mullins served in the Finnish military. But what do I know ?

On the question of legality. Anyone who's ever made an addon and used a third party sound is obviously committed this same offence.

The OFP community is getting a bit hard up for things to complain about if importing models from other games is the most you can get upset about.

If you don't like them. Don't use them. If raven software cares -that- much. They'll take care of it.

As far as the addons go. They're ok. The USAS 12 is the only one that sort of interests me. The persistent shells is a nice novelty but I'd rather have pc performance directed elsewhere, realistically speaking.

Of course if you really don't like the USAS12 firing solid slugs. Then you could always convert LSC's shotgun eventhandler script to the addon of your choice. With the advent of the wonderful CUTPBO.exe technology. You can now modify any cpp to suit your individual tastes. I am the Max Hardcore of OFP addon editing. Oh yeah!!!
