Real Weapon Mod?

[evoron]

I think it would be nice, if we have a real weapon in the game.
'Cause personally I don't like to shoot ^futuristic _uber rifle of 6,5 mm caliber.
In real life we had such amazing things as

AKM

FN FAL

Personally i prefer these 'cause aliens, even Sectoids, are tough guys and 6,5 mm bullet sometimes not enough. I think even AKM with 7,62x39 mm will be better. Not to mention FAL with 7,62x51.
PS. AKM is evolution of famous AK-47.

there is no mention of caliber size in the game
do you determine the size according to a 40x15 pixel image?
regardless
you can add all existing weapons if you want
one with 2% more damage
one with 7% more accuracy
one with 10% less weight...
i would not use it - there would be no big difference between them and it fills the itemlist without just cause
if you change the values too much i would not use it because its unbalanced - alien(based)tech should be better than earth tech in the game lore all the other armies could not really win their battles (with earth tech)

About caliber. Sorry it's 6,7 mm.

I agree.
But when I pickup AKM it's warm my soul. We have terrific and cruel world of alien invasion here.
I done XCOM: UFO Defence back 90's. But now when I run OpenXcom for the first time, I have to reload Landing Site about 10 times on BattleScape before I crushed alien scum.
Maybe after almost 60h (and 1,8 walkthrough) in XCOM: Enemy Unknown I became nooby noob.  Who knows...

I will not going to add all existing real weapons. But some iconic models I sure will.

[evoron]

In-game we have only AP rounds.
But what about Hollow Point (Sectoid looks soft enogh) and FMJ?

So we need to code alittle. It's Open Source after all.

Weapons aside, defining new damage types is something I really look forward to.
