+++DESCRIPTION+++
This mod adds in a Gewehr 43. It comes with unique static and sound entries, as well as having it added to the appropriate repair, vendor, and leveled lists. It also comes with two modifications, a scope modkit and a silencer modkit.
It can be found next to Doc Mitchell's chemistry set.
+++COMPATIBILITY+++
This mod should not conflict with any other mod.

WAR (Weapon Animation Replacer) corrects a problem with the vanilla This Machine animations, meaning default iron sights using vanilla animations will not work with those using WAR.
