Ok, though I can read the comment on this forum, I'd still like to make a new weapon suggestion, and I think this would add to the richness and flavour of the game
When I see the roadmap, I notice there are a couple of assault rifles planned; the M16, M4, FAMAS, the SIG ... they have all one thin in common: the 5.56mm ammunition ... even the M249 uses it ...
Now, please correct me if I'm wrong, I think that because all weapons use the same ammunition, they are going to have about the the same penetration and damage values ... of course there are some differences caused by the barrel length and other factors; I'm sure Gryphon knows this stuff well enough to make sure this is correctly simulated ...
I have been trained on a HK G3, which was at the time the workhorse of the German army. This rifle uses 7.62mm ammunition, and I'm sure it has a better penetration than the smaller ammunition now used in the game. Of course this weapon has a stronger recoil compared to the smaller calibres
Wouldn't it be interesting to have an assault rifle (though I've read a classification as battle rifle) that uses a different ammo instead of having lots of rifles all using the same (NATO) calibre. The G3 is wide-spread; I've even seen a picture of Ayatollah Khomeini holding a G3 ... and it also supports a variety of attachments ...
Unfortunately, HKPRO seems to be offline for the moment, so that I can't post a link to the site.
Here are some pics of the G3:
HK G3 with bipod, Schmidt & Bender scope and JP style compensator
What do you think of the idea?
