📋 About This Mod
Update 1. 1 is here! Fixed those pesky sights and added some more mods, see below for changelog
PLEASE READ THIS FIRST Once again, a member of the Nexus community has stepped into the breach and helped bring another mod into existence. The excellent model and textures within were provided by thespaceman0915 who gave me unfettered access to his work and tolerated my edits to his stunning M16. He proves again how fantastic the Nexus community is and allows you to enjoy mods like this! So before you get on to downloading this, please head on over to thespaceman0915's profile and give some Kudos or send a message to show your appreciation. Hopefully everyone will be just as impressed as I am with his skills.
So thanks thespaceman0915!
Update V1. 1 UNINSTALL ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS FIRST
I think I have fixed the scope problem, I never experienced it myself which made it hard to diagnose or fix! In light of this I scrapped all the old scopes and coding and started again. There are the same number of scopes but new models and stats as well as a reflex sight that actually works! Hopefully this banishes this strange issue and we can all get on enjoying the gun.
As requested I have included a 'Classic' stock inspired by the original triangle grip and an 'Aesthetic' stock which preserves the grips original position and size. This should come as a relief to you gun nuts out there!
From the sublime to the extreme...for those who don't mind a little deviation from the conventional look there is the new 'stub barrel' and accompanying 'pistol grip'. Neither are particularly useful but rather fun, although a reflex sight is mandatory for these!
Thanks for all the great feedback and sorry that so many of you have been having issues. More updates are on the way![
