DESCRIPTION
I could go on for a while about the style I was trying to achieve here--something about trying to lean into the idea this an idea for military soldiers, but still keeping some flair and while also keeping it nice and video-gamey feeling--but I don't know how much we need that, yeah? It's probably best it speaks for itself. I guess, as usual, it's also a re-interpretation of the vanilla reload, complete with pulling the mag out and all of that, but with a bolt release button instead of a charging handle. This was just better to do pacing-wise and visually, so I went with it. Thanks to being pushed by RaqCoon, I not only made a very cool jam animation for it, but also implemented a condition-based jam system that place three different jam animations depending on your weapon condition. It's cool, and folds unobtrusively into the vanilla system. Look further on in the description for details.
Other than that, balance on the timings is more-or-less in-line with how I've been doing assault rifles, so it should line up. Oh, and the mod works with or witho
