modern USMC weapons

Earl.

Will the M16A4 use the standard M16 magazine?
What about the M4A1? M4 (XM) magazines?

[Cpt. FrostBite]

He's probably going to use his own sounds for the weapons. In that case he needs to make his own magazines. If you use the BIS ones you automaticly have to use the same sounds.

[STGN]

and you will get a very bad M4.

Unfortunately, the way BIS coded the sounds/ballistics means that I'll have to make my own mags.

Maybe I can work with some others out there (BAS, Tales of War, ADF, FliPer, STGN, OP CodeBlue, etc) to make some common mags.  That way at least each M4 will be equal, so one isn't way better than another for damage and range.

If everyone can agree, then a standard ammo makes lots of sense.

But what happened to the M16a3&4s  I'm kind of looking forward to them. But Hey I found a Pic of Marines with their M16s I think they are a2s But I'm not Entirely sure

[earl_laamanen]

Most Marines will be using the M16A2's for a long while yet.  The M16A4's as an interim replacement/upgrade isn't a certainty.  We're just taking some liberty in assuming a possible future outcome for the USMC.

The rifles in the pic are M16A2's, and that's probably all you will see in the current Middle East conflict.  I have a Soldier of Fortune magazine from March 2003 showing US Army infantry training in Kuwait, and they all have M16A3's or A4's (flattop + M5 RAS).  The captions say: Alpha Company, 2nd Platoon of the 3/15 Infantry Regiment, then: B Company, 3rd Battalion, 15th Infantry with 1st Platoon.  They've got PEQ-2A IR aiming devices on the sides, and Aimpoint M68s on many rifles.

As for the addon, the M16A4's are pretty much done, except for doing the lower LODs.

I'm working on a new rifle at the moment, something for the sharpshooters...

[PunkerSXDX]

I was Reading Newsweek and I saw a pic of some soldiers (regular Army I think) and they were useing a4s (it didn't say a4 but the Guns looked exactly like you model) so again great models and I withdraw my earlier comments that the a4 didn't exist
