📋 About This Mod
"This is a small mod to change the fictional names of various weapons in the game to ones found in the real world.
The guns in the game are actually hybrids using a variety of parts and
pieces from several different weapons. When changing the names I relied
heavily on the suggestions found here:

original description from jvarnes
All I have done (mrredcon), was use up-to-date (as of 1. 12) English language files to add some missing names and descriptions.
To install:
For snakebite:
1. Download SnakeBite's Mod Manager, set it up.
2. Open the Modmanager, click on Mods, click "Install Mod..." and browse to and select the .mgsv file
When it asks you to install the files even though they're outdated (they aren't), say yes.
3. Start the Game.
This is the initial release to add missing weapon names, descriptions, and other yellow text from the numerous updates MGSV has had.
Updated files to version 1. 0. 15
