📋 About This Mod

Welcome to my latest attempt to make the vanilla AR into something decent to look at. This mod will completely remesh the vanilla assault rifle with a new design, attempting to make this think look like a modern MG... but not too modern ;)

The new design takes elements from real-world firearms as well as some new designs to create a weapon all its own.

There are 2 versions of this mod, the regular old remesh and a version that renames the "Assault Rifle" to the "Machine Gun"

While the MG-69 (my last remesh attempt) is still fully functional, this mod has much better assets from an objective standpoint and is built for maximum compatibility with other mods. It has out-of-the-box support for my attachment pack as well as any other attachment mods and the assault rifle reanimation mod.

Like my other mods, all assets I created here are open resources to anyone who wishes to use them. Please be aware that some assets were lent by JKruse05. While he has a similar open source mindset as I do, I would like him to be credited correctly if you use any of his assets. Please feel free to ask if you are unsure of which assets are whose.

Known issue:

need to rotate shell ejection node, will be fixed in next update

Myself for most of it
