Careful on the 40mm buckshot rounds... When the China Lake GL was designed, they tested both the M-406 HE 40mm round and the M-576 40mm buckshot rounds. The HE rounds loaded fine because the HE head was rounded at the edge which promoted a smooth loading process. The buckshot round on the other hand is not rounded like the HE round. It resembles a 40mm shotgun round, which is flat on the front side. During testing, the pump action grenade launcher continuously jammed because of this flat side to the buckshot round. There was nothing on the round or in the chamber that would allow the M-576 to load smoothly. Under testing, service branches were told they cannot use the M-576 round... only the M-406 HE round can be used.

Therefore, in the name of realism, the China Lake 40mm P-A G/L only uses HE rounds...

Sorry about that... I was excited about using the buckshot round as well... but it is not to be...

Pictures of the rounds:

Hope this helps!

We have aussies in the MOD group... Skipping the Aussie Units is not an option... just down the road... can't include a weapon like the SLR and not make the aussies, right?

:eek: ;)

[matchy 10]

Great work on the pdf guys very professional bis doesn't even do anything like that will come in handy if that pdf is anything to go by this mods going to be awesome its great that you guys are including the aussies down the line

[Muahaha 10]

The current size of the units are hard enough to spot and shot as it is. If we made them smaller you might as well lay down your arms, crack a bud and put on a pink bunny suit. This isn't even on our radar at this time.

Point taken. So I take it that this is a design direction.

Well done on the Manual guys, looking forward to the release, and I am happy to see that the Aussies will be in there.

At the moment it seems to be outdoing VTE.

Can't wait to take the town with the "Gook spooker" logos attached to the mechanization :)

[pathetic_berserker 4]

Just read the manual, a very nice touch.

Also pleased to see the L1a1 though mentioning 'the bitch' but not seeing it in your weopons list is such a tease.

For those that don't know 'the bitch' take a peak here

Is there a jungle warfare / Vietnam fan group on the BIS forums? If so, could somebody plz invite me? :)

[nzdfcrash 33]

will be in nam next month if you guys want me to pass on hd photos of certain pieces of equipment and buildings that are untouched. not sure if i can get good qual m60 sounds to pass on for reference

[bigpickle 0]

Does the mod team need M60 sounds? Can hand some over if you want?

[roberthammer 582]

If you want real one M60 MG sound /mean the old one/ - http://www.mediafire.com/?yzcb4ms33gkhjam - just needs to be cutted and maybe volume tweak :)

it's 2nd day after the release of manual, time for the mod release :)

[stephsen 79]

when I read the manual, I shall be very Hippel:bounce3: ...can hardly wait

[PolishGI 0]

I am glad you guys enjoyed the manual...

We put a lot of time and effort into it... hope it shows... Hopefully, it will just get better... always looking for ideas on how to include additional information.

Give us some time... we are firing up a new Nam website... old one died... :(

[mcnools 62]

Just take your time. :) it's easy for people to get all crazy the closer to releasing something you get, and if there's some unexpected delay, people might even go COMPLETELY crazy. I remember many years back when Invasion 1944 had given a release date for their first release, and it was delayed that day, people even wrote things like "F You Invasion 1944" etc. People really need to just.. relax and.. relax.

I'm completely crazy about this though, I want it now, GIVE IT TO US! Haha. :)

No but seriously, take your time!
