You know I haven’t heard of anyone coming up with this, but I have an idea that guns should be physically different to its real-life counterpart so it’s not just the low-poly or iron sights making it different.
Simple reason for this is just for creativity. But personally for me it could stray people off from basing it on its real-life counterpart so they don’t suggest buffs/nerfs because of a real-life inconsistency (Maybe?). That would also mean that you can change how a gun would work without people beating you to death because the numbers aren’t close to its real-life counterpart
A good example is the Ekho. We all know it’s based on the Cheytac Intervention, but what’s silly is that it has a side magazine that ticks off a lot of gun nerds in the Unturned community (Seen some funny steam forum threads asking to change that side mag). The other examples are the Maschinengewehr (Wooden grip) and the classic Maplestrike (an amalgamation of M16 and C7A2).
Well Nelson you find the side magazine cool so why not make the weapons more cooler? Maybe start with that M4A1 of yours
It’d be interesting to see how if he does go along with this. I’m all for changes only if they’re not too crazy. I like the idea of having everything differentiated from each other without having real life counterparts and gun nerds holding them at…
gun point
Stuff that’s still reasonably believable though, nothing like putting the Zube magazine on the top of the gun and making it semi-auto. That’d be a little too wacky.
to be fair the MP40 DOES have a wooden handguard and the C7(A1) DID have black furniture, meaning the 2.0 Maplestrike could have been a C7(A1) and not an A2
I think the “whackier” part should really go to the weapon stats. For example, the heartbreaker could do more damage than other military ars with a slower fire rate, even though realistically the “damage” would be the same more or less.
I mean, I wouldn’t really expect it to. If there’s no restrictions on how Nelson connects to real weapons, then wouldn’t he be able to balance them easier with that freedom?
I know. I have no means of saying “it HAS to be like its real life counter part”. If Nelson wants to change whatever he wants, its his game. As long as he doesn’t make something game breaking like recoil higher than Snoop Dogg after 4:20 pm
And damage lower than CSGO’s chances of having non-toxic players
Ah, yeah I don’t really care if he changes around how some of the guns work/look. As long as it doesn’t look too out of place in the game, like a cherry blossom paddle, or whatever this thing is…
I have so many questions regarding this picture… but I have a feeling I might regret asking…
And I have been collecting Cherryblossom skins for a year xD
I only need the skins for the melee weapons and I will have a complete set
I made it. With drum magazine and barrel attachment. P90 grip. Zubeknakov Reciever. Maplestrike irons. Empire foregrip.
wooden x16 scope.
Heres the realistic version
I like how the attached foreign firearm barrel isn’t aligned with the M16’s barrel.
And the charging handle is obstructed by the hunk of metal coming from the stock.
(Rip iron sights though… 
)
