📋 About This Mod
I LOVE seeing you using things I make SO...
ADD SOME SCREENSHOTS!!!
(Only if you wanna :P)
The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated pistol chambered for the . 45 ACP cartridge. It served as the standard-issue sidearm for the United States Armed Forces from 1911 to 1986. It was first used in later stages of the Philippine–American War, and was widely used in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Designed by John Browning, the M1911 is the best-known of his designs to use the short recoil principle in its basic design. The pistol was widely copied, and this operating system rose to become the preeminent type of the 20th century and of nearly all modern centerfire pistols.
This specific model was based off of the M1911A1 from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
