About 10% of people who play this mod are aiming guns with their non dominant hand
If you're reading this and you're about to say "Just learn to shoot with your right hand", try to aim with a two handed weapon with your non dominant hand to experience how harder this is.

After more than 1 year, I'm surprised there isn't an option to switch weapon hand yet, considering the fact 10% of users are left handed.

1 year isn't even that much for a solo, innovative project, made on a spare time by just one guy. Projects like those will reach the state of something one can call "polished", like, after 3-5 years of constant development. As for now, as the project lingers in state of a "scratch in a sketchbook", that is too much to demand.

Taking in consideration stuff like righthanded viewmodels and righthanded animations, lack of left handed mode is more like "haven't done because it is too hard", and not "haven't done because didn't consider it".

IMO you should not expect left handed mode until the REAL polishing phase begins(and it may be somewhere around half a year, or up to 2-3 years later. Depends on the guy's free time and personal motivation).

I'm planning to make a weapon addon at some point that will feature guns that are more physical, that you can pick up and operate with either hand and throw around just like in boneworks for example.

Currently I don't think a left handed mode would be practical for the stock (engine) weapons. There are technical reasons that would make it a big pain in the ass.

Just add it. No one wants to be forced to their non-dominant hand.
