INFORMATION

Adds new magazines for the Saiga and M1014 shotguns containing shotshells (as opposed to the slugs that comes in vanilla ArmA2).

This is a beta in every way, I haven't had the opportunity to test it in a multiplayer environment, so your milage may vary.

Classnames

* TBR_8Rnd_B_Saiga12_Shot (for the Saiga)

* TBR_8Rnd_B_Beneli_Shot (for the M1014)

saiga_test.utes.7z contains an incredibly simple testmission

INSTALLATION (incredibly brief)

1. Copy the included @tbr-folder to your ArmA2-folder

2. Add -mod=@tbr to your shortcut.

I've been testing the addon some more, and while the AI have no problem firing and hitting, it does so at too long range (due to the Saiga and M1014 being slug-firing weapons in base ArmA2).

I guess it is solvable by lowering midRange and maxRange in respective config, but that would have the disadvantage of changing those for slugs too.

Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this (if at all possible)?

So this adds buck / bird shot? Sweet! Downloading.

Yep.

I haven't touched any soldier loadouts, so you must add magazines yourself (via script or init). See the included demo-mission for an example.

I made a couple clip icons to go with your mod, thought you might like to use them.

You fail to mention this requires Extended Eventhandlers, also it would be decent to mention this uses scripts to create the pellets.

Nice idea, any chance of a picture or demo video? Pictures are slways a god idea to "sell" your addon. Ill try it later

This is a Perfect idea !!! And this Simulates the correct Shotgun Scattering. (I like this) ;)

But of close range work this not good. It´s a single bullet shot.

Great Work barricade :bounce3:
