M1928A1 Thompson - Day of Infamy

KxO4WTKIBtY

This mod adds the Thompson M1928A1, which is a variant prior to the M1A1 most people know from World War II. Although the model name might not bring anything to your mind you have most probably seen this gun in display on every gangster/50's-60's inspired action movie you can think of (including but not limited to: Public Enemies (2009), Lawless (2012), King Kong (2005) more recently and in the classics like The Untouchables (1987) and The Godfather (1972) and multiple appearances through a bunch of films).

I feel this weapon fits in perfectly into the game, even more than any other WWII weapons that have been modded into the game. The Vault Boy is portrayed officialy by Bethesda with this variant of the thompson, yet they added a dumbed down cartoony strange weapon that resembles the thompson just in shape, that is unacepptable and that is what has motivated me to bring this weapon to the game in a more realistic and faithful way with more fitting and high quality meshes, animations and sounds. I have not included a single fire option in here, semiauto users might be upset, but I think it would break the weapon general purpose, culprit here is Bethesda for not adding a semiauto switch like almost all decent shooters have.

All the external assets used follow the EULA of Day of Infamy (DoI) and New World Interactive (NWI) policies and the redistribution of them are not allowed under any circunstances, changes to the original meshes, animations or textures included in this mod are not allowed to be reuploaded anywhere. Additional changes to my esp or extra added user content can be made and uploaded as long as its not modifying the original provided, there is no need to ask for my permission for this.

The meshes here resemble the M1928A1 model but you can build your way down to the M1919 Annihilator or the M1A1 through attachments. Some can say the M1A1 didnt have the bolt on top of the receiver, I have decided not to get the M1A1 receiver into the game due to animation problems, the animation tree to integrate that "slight" change would overcomplicate the attachment animations and I'm not willing to do it, still, as I said, you can find barrels, sights and grips belonging to this weapon and build a fairly good lookalike with the 1928 receiver.

The reload and equip animations are ported directly from DoI, the motion and timing is just superb and I've always loved how
