this would be such a awesome deployed defense for a firebase or on humvees.

how is this any different from a m2 gunner on a hummer or landy?

You upgrade it not cripple it since the model has no Elcan, and If it wasn't a gameplay problem won't you think the M2s would have had Scopes?

Like mentioned by [SWIZZ]=TASS= i think it would be better to make 2 version, so we can choose after prototyping it.

You don't see that many of those with optics. And .50 cal rounds have a very flat trajectory, 40 mm grenades much less so. But testing it might be a good idea.

Congrats on the R-CON Exec

also from me "R-CONgrats"

So it finaly makes an entry in PR? I thought the devs didnt want this in because it would get uber spammage! Been requested several times.

EDIT:
woops! forgot to say: That the model does looks brilliant!

Been requested, never made

But I thought that had to do with the weapon being easy to spam and disrupt a game.

the chances are that it'll be grabbed by some 12yr old who is like "OMFG a grenade launcher, i must have it to pwn the taliban with my 1337 gun"

they then proceed to drive it into IED/mine/RPG/river

on a different note, the model is awesome and i really hope this plus the mk.19 make it into the game, things like WMIKS should be used for fire support for a section, with a 40mm GMG they might just get used like that.

I think it was actually the lack of people willing to make it, and then balance it. If the devs don't have to go about making stuff themselves, they are usually happy to take the files and give them a whirl imo.

And anyway, its no worse than an APC with HEAT (except in this vehicle...the gunner can die)
