They look awesome

Hi, the M4's look very good and the camo works at close distances;

the best thing to me are the automatic M4A1's, but i think that the

supressor don't looks that good. The pack looks & works well anyway.

Let's C ya

Beauty! Those are amazing. very well done

[-HUNTER- 1]

Yes very cool pack eventually at first I had second thoughts, but the pictures look REALLY good.

Love the m4's, I personally havent seen the SAW in desert camo ever, same goes for the m107, and your missing a iron sighted m203 m4, <oldschool look and feel, but the wear and tear look is just awesome really well done m8!

I'm taking the freedom to post a download link here to a replacement config I've made for the skins.

Saves you all from having to replace .paa and .p3a files or write a config of your own!

Replacement config

thx

Im usually not a big fan of desert stuff, but those weapons are bloody impressive. Good job mate.

Because of a bug in my replacement config that made the M4A1 unusable I've updated the config, and this far I haven't found any more bugs in it.

Edit: Removed download link on request.

Ok first post updated with new config ..thank you!

[ArmaVidz 0]

Thanks for the config Inkompetant. Much easier than manually adding all the weapons and ammo to Ai.

However, I found an issue where when you use the config replacement the M4A1 (ironsight), M4AIM (Aimpoint) and M4A1GL are no longer Full Auto as they are when you pick them up out of the ammo box. The SF's M4A1SD is fine.

Any way you could fix that???

These dont give them much justice because i had to decrease quality of the pix quite alot .

Now excuse me because i have to go and put some ice on my pants ...

[bugkill 7]

Aimpoint has done a great job and he really put to great use the personal pics that I sent him. I have been telling guys that any camo weapon that they make has to have that worn look to it and Aimpoint nailed it.

When we paint our weapons and take them to the field, that beautiful paint job wears down over time. There have been too many camo addons that has the weapon look brand new, but most weapons look worn and battered out in the field. All the guys that are looking to do paint jobs on their weapons for future addons need to follow Aimpoint's example (or you can request my pics for reference).

Aimpoint, I hope that you will consider a woodland version and I'm sure that a couple of guns in the pics I sent you has a good example of a pattern that could be used in a woodland enviroment. Great Job!

Oups... I didn't even test the different firing modes on the weapons. I just tossed of a few single rounds each with them to see that they worked.

Well, I'll spend some more time with it as soon as I can. Tried to make a fast fix, but it seems the problem wasn't *that* easy to solve.

And on another requests from Armaholic's forums (and pretty logical too, since the M4AIM has desert camo) I'll make the stock M4 get a paintjob as well, so all M4 and M4A1 versions should be painted now.

@Heatseeker

Great pictures, even if this is less quality it still shows the perfect job done on the weapons

Can I use them (screenshots) on our pages?

So does this config replacement file change the default m4's to this desert? If so, does it change the firing mode as well? I don't want to be seen as cheating with a full auto m4. I just want to change the looks to this and keep the 3 round burst for "non-cheating" purposes.

I think the supressed m4 is the only full-auto m4.

This is very sexy btw. Good job.

At the moment the M4 stays black. The M4 AimPoint, M4A1, M4A1 M203 ACOG, M4 SPR and M4 QDS gets desert camo though.

And don't worry about cheating. If anything you get nerfed since I didn't think of correcting the firing modes, so some versions that should be able to fire full auto can only fire single and bursts. At the moment I think the clean M4A1 can fire full auto, but the rest can not.

And as for which *should* be able to fire full auto and not:

The M4 is the standard issue M4 and can only shoot single fire and three round bursts.

The M4A1 is the SpecOps version and has full automatic mode.

About time someone got this right. Rarely do you see regular Army soldiers with camo painted weapons (the exception is usually the LRS or Scout units). It is against Army regulation for units to camo paint their guns, except for special ops, other specialized units, or a directive to get it done, which rarely happens (learned this in the Armorer's Course).

Great Job, Inkompetent. Keep the M4 black .

I suppose you'd want me to keep the M4 M203 ACOG and the M4 AimPoint black then as well?

Ofcourse m8, if you need i'll grab some more for you .

[manzilla 1]

If you want to make the M4 desert it's fine with me. If it looks good I'll use it. I just don't get into the "realism" thing. I got my fill of realism, 3 times. To each his own though. Again, beautiful work AimPoint. And thanks Inkompetent for the replacement. It's great to have people like you part of the community.

Another update! (and hopefully the final one)

I've fixed the replacement config now, so all weapons works as intended.

I've also got three .pbo files in the pack now. One for each preference.

You can now choose between these three replacement configs:

1) Replaces all M4 and M4A1 versions, the M249, M24 and M107 with desert camo.

2) The M4 and its versions are kept black, but the M4A1 versions and all other stuff above, including the M4 SPR still have desert camo.

3) Same as 2), but the M249 is black too.

Download the 1.0 version of the config here.

Thanks Inko,

I was gonna suggest doing something like this but I didn't want to be a pain in the ass. I like options, I frequently switch up all replacements files I have to keep it fresh. This will definitely help with that. Thanks adding the M4 also. They just look so damn good I don't want to see the black for a bit.

[Inkompetent 0]

Aaaand, another update!

A hotfix that solves the problem with not being able to use the ACOG on the M4A1 M203 ACOG.

I assumed it'd work since it inherits the M4 M203, but I suppose it didn't

Well, now I hope there shouldn't need to be more updates for a simple replacement config!

Edit: Removed download link on request.

[honchoblack 2]

These weapons are truly very good, thanks alot for them Aimpoint, I enjoy them alot.

Also thanks Inkompetent for the the replacement config, only one slight bug remains with it in the latest version, the GL of the M4A1 M203 ACOG isnt working (Acog works fine now), also when picking up the M4A1 M203 ACOG no M203 grenades are assigned.

[Inkompetent 0]

Bah! So I've broken the grenades now?

Well, back to the working board I suppose.
