Gunsmith additions/fixes I'd like to see | Forums

[Ghost416]

There's been a number of these, but after playing the game for a month, I wanted to voice my preferred additions and fixes for Gunsmith. Not trying to suggest what I want is more important than what anyone else wants, but these are what I prefer above all. Many of these have probably been suggested already, but I'm listing them anyway.

Be aware that this list is only about Gunsmith mods, not new weapons.


Additions
*Add semi-auto trigger option to assault rifles. At least one of the named assault rifles, the M4A1 Tactical, has a semi-auto trigger, so I see no reason it shouldn't be an option for regular assault rifles.

*Add more stock options for some guns. Magpul CTR stock from the P416 to the M4A1, extended and retractable para stocks to the MK48 (Future Soldier had them), Compensated Buttstock to the G28, extended and folded AK-74 stocks to the AK-47 and Saiga-12, etc..

*Option to completely remove the buttstock from the SPAS-12.

*Add a 10" barrel for the M4A1. Lack of one was a serious letdown for me.

*Add a suppressor for the MAC-11.

*Add semi-auto/full-auto trigger and suppressor to the Skorpion SMG.

*Add semi-auto/full-auto trigger to the R5 RGP.

*Add a CompM4/G33 combo.

*Add an ACOG/RMR combo.

*If feasable, give us the option to mount the PEQ-15 and range finder on the top rail of guns that have one, like so.

*Add an actual short barrel for the MK17. For some strange reason, the short barrel in the game is based on the IRL standard length barrel, while the standard length barrel seems to be based on the IRL slightly longer barrel of the SCAR 17S civilian rifle.

*Add AOR1 to the weapon camo options.

Fixes
*On guns with fixed front sights, said sights are clearly discernible through magnified optics. Instead, they should be blurred out, like so. The M4A1 is the worst offender here. If you can clearly make out the front sight post, it means your magnified optic is not magnifying anything.

*Accurate magazine counts. The M4 50-round magazine should hold 60 rounds, the 50-round PMAG should hold 40 rounds, the MAC-11 magazine should hold 32 rounds, AK-47/AK-12/556xi 50-round magazine should hold 75 rounds, and so on. Don't give me any BS about "balance" on this. If you must, make them accurate in solo/coop and leave them as they are for PVP so that crowd has no reason to complain about one gun having an advantage over others.

*Remove the CompM4's 2X zoom and secondary reticle. A real CompM4 has neither, it's just a simple unmagnified sight with a red dot reticle.

*Change the Digital Scope's magnification levels to it's accurate 1X (unmagnified) and 4X. The whole selling point of this optic is that it's a CQB sight and mid-range scope in one package.

*Up the damage level of the P416. It should be equal to the M4A1, since both fire the same cartridge from the same (base) length barrel.

*Move the placement of vertical foregrips on the Saiga-12 forward about an inch or two. As it stands, they're placed too far back and at least one of them clips through the magazine.

*Up the G28 scope's magification level to 8X and the T5Xi's to 10X.

*Move the MK14 to the assault rifle category. This is where it really should be, IMO.

*Make hybrid sights usable on SMGs.

*Make scopes usable on machine guns.


These are just the things I want he most. Obviously my list might not align entirely with those of others, but it is what it is. So please forward it to the devs.

MK14, SR25, SVD, & G28 need more ammo.
MK14 & SR25 need red dot sights/red dots with magnifiers (these two could realistically fall into the battle rifle role more so than any of the other semi-auto snipers.)

Yes all off this is well said! I was going to post this same thing when I had a chance. The M4 short barrel is the #1 thing and adding more stocks to weapons I will be satisfied. also if it's not too much when riding in a truck with a minigun......example Convoy missions, the sound of the minigun seems really really flat. Thank for posting this.

G28 as well and any other semi auto sniper rifle additions in the future.

Tritium sight on the 1911, pretty hard to use at night despite NV.

I agree with this whole thread.

Ideas for furniture I had when the topic came up on another thread could be for the M4A1 & AK47.

-More stock and furniture options would be nice,
Magpul STR, CTR, and MOE SL, MOE AK (& a functioning UBR) stocks. Could have an AR-15 to AK stock adapter so the AR stocks could be used on the AK (could be the rifle dynamic adapter)

That's what a minigun actually sounds like.

Too bad they didn't get the size of the Minigun right, it's way to big.
