The Blue Sun Mod

[IceShade]

Well.. Looks like I'm going to start a new one.

Interesting caliber for that kar98k?

[R@S]

That weapon actually fires the 7.92x57 Mauser rounds, and it's a typo in my post. The only weapon of these new ones that doesn't use the "correct" ammo is the CheyTac, but that'll be fixed in the next version of the mod. I'm waiting for a new model for the ammo box and Geroj will get started on that when he gets back from his field trip.

Speaking of the next version, cyr_v just sent me 3 new models for the Krebs custom AK's, and those will be available too, but in a limited number only

Please tell me that the Enhanced Speed Load Tactical and KTR-09 will be among them!

Also, have you thought about adding an HK51? I've always liked the thought of spitting a 7.62mm NATO from an MP5-sized gun...

Hey R@S I've been using your mod for a while, and just registered to say thanks for the hard work and you've extended the life of this game by about 5 times and counting (not to mention making me reinstall it every time you release a new version).

@tristeau
I'm not sure what these new Krebs weapons are, I think they're custom made
I haven't had much time to check them out, but they are chambered for the 5.56 rounds. But I'm thinking of also adding them in the 7.62x39 caliber since that's what the linky I posted suggested they use.




I've never heard of the HK51, but I'll pass on your request to Geroj and we'll see what he can do.

@brain
The SIG P220 comes in 3 calibers. 9mm, .38 super and .45 ACP. It uses the .45 ACP rounds in the mod.

The SIG P226 comes in 4, the 9mm, .40 S&W, .357 SIG and .22 Long Rifle. It uses the .40 S&W in the mod.

The SIG P228 only comes in 9mm, and it uses the .40 S&W in the mod. The P229 comes in .40 S&W and .357 SIG so I guess I should rename it to P229 to make the gnards happy

[the_Brain]

You missunderstood me. Some of your Sigs use .357 Magnum instead of .357 SIG. I just wanted to mention that...

[R@S]

If you think that you haven't played the mod

[the_Brain]

I actually unintentionally refered to the HiPoly- Addon and 1.7... Sorry.

Is there any chance to see the .357 SIG in the Future?

Awesome! Yeah, those obviously use the STANAG clip (which, means that it could probably take a beta-C...), but they're AK receivers, so obviously they could make them 5.45 or 7.62. Would be pretty sick either way!

They're pretty cool guns. They're based on the G3, but are modified and cut-down accept MP5 furniture. Again, 7.62mm in a package that's just a bit bigger than the MP5...


And the grossly-unnecessary belt-fed version:

Everything I've read on the belt-fed model indicates that they are (unsurprisingly) woefully inaccurate and require more maintenance than is worth it.

Also... maybe it is in, I just haven't gotten far enough yet... but have you thought of the .454 Casull round? 1900fps pistol round FTW!

[IceShade]

I really miss the lack of 7.62 rifles in .. 7.62.

Sure, there's the G3 with its specific addons.. The HK417 which seems to be the only fully modifiable 7.62 rifle.. The FAL can only use a scope (and a bipod?) and that's where it pretty much ends for the fullsize rifles. Of course you have the AKs, but 7.62x51 is significantly more ... interesting.. than 7.62x39. Doesn't use western addons either.

And then we have the smaller 7.62 things like the carbine G3 and the pretty-dang-awesome DSA-58OSW. My personal favorite.

Any new 7.62x51 rifles/carbines would be much appreciated!

I often find 5.56 or, even worse, 5.45 to be lacking in power in late-game combat. Often enemies have powerful exterior vests and the best concealable vests.

My backup weapons are SMGs, and they can't really do anything but kill with headshots/faceshots or make them bleed to death through leg shots. Otherwise they stun, which is good enough if there's a high powered rifle helping out. 9x18 makarov doesn't cut it in that stage of the game, though the lack of recoil is quite nice and so is the size of a bizon's cylindrical magazine.

7.62x54R SVD, 7.62x39 RPK and 9x39 carbines come a long way. Shame the 9x39 is subsonic and really slow (I've seen enemies pretty much dodge them, because they're so slow!), but its damage output is really nice.

Oh yes, now where was I.

7.62x51 rifles! This mercenary will pay quite a bit for them

PS: Is the AN-94 in the game? I can't remember playing with it, or ever finding it..
