Red Talon Weapons Station lets you use resources to build most in-game assault weapons and some malee weapons.
So far I've added 46 Assault Weapons, 5 Launchers, 5 Rifles . 50cal, 10 Malee Weapons and 5 Close Combat Weapons.
There may be more coming... I'll see how many people like it first.
In order to build the Red Talon Workshop you first must have a Red Talon Workshop Prefab.
To get this prefab I have set up the Workshop to craft these items. Just build it first, craft the prefab, then destroy it and build the Red Talon Workshop. Easy peasy...
