The only thing this mod needs is a flashlight for night combat

Keys seem broken.

Need reworking the model for fixing not changing magazines.

Is it possible to somehow make the RHS weapons have the same sounds as your rifle???
Valmont May 19, 2022 @ 6:03pm 
This is awesome but why does this requires RHSUSAF?

This is a great mod, better when I stick the EFT gun sounds mod on.

Question, would it be too much to request Colt Carbines/CAR-15 of the 1980s as well? Like 723 and other models? basically have Pre-M4 era carbines added.

@l18rigel Arma lighting system is awful, we can't really replicate the look of metal material. So it's a trade off, it may look right in some light condition and wrong in others.

@Georg Ravioli, the 3d model don't allow it. It don't fit.
Georg Ravioli Dec 14, 2020 @ 10:41pm 
Perhaps an often-repeated request, but can this be updated to use magwells?
Anonymous4245 Dec 14, 2020 @ 12:51am 
thanks for the clarification GSTAVO! :D
GSTAVO  [author] Dec 13, 2020 @ 11:36pm 
@Anonymous4245 It was merged in the main PBO so it is not needed anymore. :)
Anonymous4245 Dec 13, 2020 @ 10:58pm 
what happened to the ace compat? or is it unnecessary?

Hi, thank you for making this gun. To be honest, a common mistake many... MANY texture artists make, is they make gunmetal look extremely dark in Arma 3, when during daylight it's more grey-ish. The end result is that the weapon has no volume, as it's just an ugly black silhouette! But this gun looks very good!!! Also, if I may ask, I have a very important question to ask you. I have a lowpoly model of every UZI smg version ever made, from the original version to a modern tactical one with RIS rails. I really like the UZI. It is untextured but 100% UV mapped. If I gave you the finished model files, would you be interested in making a UZI mod? Thank you for your consideration.

how dose this differ from the RHSUSAF version ?
Jinx Oct 14, 2019 @ 2:47am 
Any chance of being updated with RHS's recent magazine additions (20rd mags for example). :3
GSTAVO  [author] Jun 17, 2019 @ 6:20pm 
Sure

Hello GSTAVO,

I run a small arma community and would like to package your mod. The reason for this is to reduce the total mod count in our steam collection/repo. I will attribute credit to you as the original author.

Please let me know if it is ok to package your mod.

Thank you,
Cobra
GSTAVO  [author] Jun 2, 2019 @ 5:01pm 
@Kimnero, sure, go ahead.
Kimnero May 30, 2019 @ 1:08am 
Hello. sir.

piz permit for me?

What are the chances that you could make side-barrel attachments compatible with the weapons system? With special attachments, the M-16A2 was known to be able to mount equipment such as infrared aiming lasers.
Coco Biscuits Feb 17, 2019 @ 3:15am 
I still love the guns though, I'm just a nosy bugger
Coco Biscuits Feb 17, 2019 @ 3:14am 
Why is the gun as thin as it is? I like the look, but it is sad that mag proxies don't work. Also, why is there no reloading sound?
AsinisterBanana Feb 10, 2019 @ 4:30pm 
M16a3 baby!!! thank you!

As long as you keep the credits. Go ahead.

Hi. I'm making a 1980s US faction config addon that uses this M16 pack (it's more of an alternate version of the existing one I put together), but I have to create whole new set of classnames for the weapons to be compatible with CUP magazines. Would that be alright? I'm sort of new to all the publishing stuff, so I just want to make sure, and of course I will make sure to leave credits or other notes requested, should this proceed.
Silas Feb 4, 2019 @ 8:30am 
Really world-class work, thanks for this! I don't know if you have any other weapons you're working on, but I'd certainly be excited to see anything else you release. Good luck with your future projects!
Griz Jan 5, 2019 @ 9:07am 
ahh, understandable. thanks for trying anyways
GSTAVO  [author] Jan 5, 2019 @ 12:29am 
The RHS magazines dont fit in the model. To much trouble to make it compatible, not worth it.
Griz Jan 3, 2019 @ 10:07pm 
oh also, you might want to boost the specular power a little bit in the rvmat.
Griz Jan 3, 2019 @ 10:04pm 
I'd love to see mag proxies added to these so the RHS magazine models will show when it is loaded.
GusRod Jan 2, 2019 @ 5:10am 
I love your M16A2, I've been using it for a long time with the USM mod. Do you plan to make more weapons of the decade of the 90? Colt M723 and old MP5SD would be fine. Thank you, keep up with your work.
Blackadder Dec 28, 2018 @ 5:36pm 
They don't accept all of the Vanilla ArmA 3 "Reload tracer" magazines - only the Yellow ones...
Roque_THE_GAMER Dec 23, 2018 @ 3:03am 
What will be added?
GSTAVO  [author] Dec 20, 2018 @ 1:30pm 
Update coming soon.
GSTAVO  [author] Aug 24, 2018 @ 5:17pm 
Sorry guys, i'm out of time to work on this addon.
Roque_THE_GAMER Aug 22, 2018 @ 6:15am 
Any possibility for a Colt Commando?
Mauzer The War Criminal Aug 16, 2018 @ 11:03pm 
will you be working on a m16a1 any time?
Frable Aug 12, 2018 @ 2:47pm 
Whats the issue with the GSTAVO dependency with US Forces 2000's. Addon 'simc_mc_08' requires addon 'gst_m16a2_F' What is this gst_m16a2_F?
Marius Aug 8, 2018 @ 7:41am 
Nice work!

Can you consider increasing the number of polygons on the rear sight to make more round? That's the only real issue with this model.
GSTAVO  [author] Jul 11, 2018 @ 5:27am 
UPDATED!
SUS_AL? May 23, 2018 @ 7:06am
