Phew, that's a load off my chest, very glad the fix seems to do its jod

The EOTech Holosight 552 is the new one, the other one if from the BE5 mod Immortal Bada$$

Also wondering where you're getting your damage numbers on some of the Short-Barreled Rifles (SBR), i.e. the SCAR-L CQB having higher damage than the HK416 10.5-inch despite them having almost identical barrel length.

Damage is based on what ammo you're using, but one has to consider penetration ability and a lot of other factors. But since I'm no expert on the subject there must be a lot of those weird inconsistencies in the mod.

(Can you tell I have a thing for SBRs yet? )

HK416/HK417 also comes from Immortal Bada$$, and they come with no folding stock. I guess it was the weapon limit that made it that way.

In contrast, the laser increases hipfire accuracy -- though why not snapshot? -- and a "reflex"/"red dot"/"collimator" sight increases snapshot accuracy, though I don't see anything that affects 'aimed' accuracy...

It's a very complex system, and the diagram doesn't always show you the true values. I'm not sure I can answer this question so I better shut up
