📋 About This Mod
Replaces shooting, reloading, lever manip. and ADS up/down sounds with ones of MK2 Carbine from MW19. Simple as.
There's now also an optional version for you if you think the bullet reload sfx is too loud (showcase video). Only bullet reload here is back to its vanilla crunchyness.
