📋 About This Mod
The Howa Type 20 Assault Rifle is an assault rifle developed for the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force by Howa. The first examples were purchased in 2019, and it is intended to eventually replace the Howa Type 89 in general service.
BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 grip, MAGPUL Gen M3, MLOK Paraclip sling swivel & Aluminium Rail & MBUS Sights and AFG-2.
• Howa Type 20 replaces MK16.
• Magpul AFG-2 replaces AFG in-game.
Works well with all attachments. Enjoy.
If you are using this with my Long Barrel MOD, make sure to have the game load this Howa Type 20 after the Long Barrel MOD and/or other mods that adjust the attachments position on the MK16 (example: pakchunk998(SFMB) and pakchunk999(Howa Type 20)).
