I wanted a black grenade launcher pistol that had a lower profile. I couldn't find any free models online to use, like the LMT M203 Pistol, so I made a kitbashed one. The upper is an M4A1 handguard with an M4 grip and the barrel is the M203 underslung attachment; so it is just a little thrown together.
- Made compatible with 3/18 game update
- Changed textures to Advanced Material
- Removed versions with holes on upper. Consider those versions deprecated, there is only this one version now
- Fixed compatibility with 5/13 game update

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent community traction (113 endorsements, 6.6k downloads).
- Gives the GP-31 a fresh, modern look if you're tired of the vanilla design.
- Lightweight mod that doesn't touch gameplay mechanics.
⚠️ Cons
- Only replaces one weapon—if you're not a fan of the GP-31, this won't do much for you.
- No screenshots or extra details in the description, so you're going in blind.
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter the GP-31 model.

💡 Beginner Tips
