Add C7NLD

Hey Jackal, how's it going?

@Klayn: Feel free to use this mod as a dependency for your faction/units/whatever. I don't plan on changing class-names in the update but may very well be adding more variants of existing weapons (possibly).

@All: The update is still a work in progress. I've had a few set backs in my personal life that have affected my time and motivation to work on the update, but it is still being worked on and has not been abandoned. I don't have a time-frame for when it will be released, all I can say is it will be "sometime soon™"

Hello, i see you give full permission for your mod to be used in missions, campaigns and showcases, does that also extend to faction mods? I have something in mind and your mod would be very useful for me as a dependency.

ACE3 jamming, I guess it must be using default settings or something is really high

By default ArmA 3 weapons don't jam. Must be a conflict with other mods. I'll see what I can do but I make no promises as I can't and won't take into account every other mod out there...

Any chance of getting a hotfix for the L119A2 jamming so much? Haven't noticed it up till now, it jams so freaking often when using it suppressed

Looking forward to the L119A2 variants!

Mega, cheers, looking forwards to them as well as finally having a correct optic position 😂

@Will.KMJ: Rumours of my death have once again been exaggerated. I hope to include a few more L119A2 variants in the next update

Yeah, that's fair man, I've been using the L119A2 for a while and would be nice to see the minor issues with it fixed to be honest, but it's a solid piece of work

omg he's still alive

@Will.KMJ: Work has been slowed by real-life commitments and my damned obsession with bolt-action animations for the WIP sniper-rifle pack but yes, work is still continuing and an update is planned. ETA: TBA

This mod still getting updated?

I havent checked the other rifles but with the L119A1 the sights are a bit misaligned when a scope is attached

My flashlight dosent show with the laser just the laser and somthing that looks like a grip under the barrel

Only just remembered to look at the pistol grip - it's perfectly fine. There's a small vertical notch missing beneath the hole towards the front of the handguard, but that's literally a tiny detail. Can't find anything else to fault which you haven't addressed yet mate, top class 👍

That's mint mate, have you considered taking a look at the pistol grip? IIRC it's wrong but I haven't looked at it in a while

@PurpurPolarBear/Anyone who is interested: The L119A2 is progressing well - I've re-positioned the optic proxy further towards the business end of the rifle and have also completely re-mapped the textures on the foregrip as I wasn't happy with how they looked. Having gained some nice reference images of the charging-handle latch I plan to rework that to be more in line with the correct one. The flash-hider has also been changed to the correct one.

Wonderful, cheers mate - other than the few things I've mentioned in the past it's very good - still the best L119A2 out there too

@PurpurPolarBear: Once I get the base model at a point where I'm satisfied (will most likely be done for the next update) I'll look at including more variety (different grips etc.)

Ah, that's fair enough mate, didn't realise that was the reason it's not compatible with most mods. What about stubby grips etc or at least a version without the AFG?

@PurpurPolarBear: The RHS foregrips/muzzle-breaks/flash-hiders etc use a different attachment system (or rather differently named "sockets" essentially) to default settings. I think the foregrips aren't actually attachments and are just separate models changed via scripts/eventhanlders. Without making RHS another requirement (and potentially losing ASDG/JR compatibility which of the two I would rather have), I doubt this will be added.

Absolutely mint, any chance of having a version without the AFG so we can use the RHS grips with it?

Sorry I haven't replied much lately. I've been hard at work on the SMG and Sniper/Marksman Rifle packs (more details on those to follow on the BI Forum Thread [forums.bohemia.net]).

I've realised I need to still give the Rifle pack some love so I'm not steering myself away from the SMGs etc and more back toward the rifles. As such the L119A2 will be getting the attention it deserves in the next few days/weeks (re: the charging handle latch, incorrect flash hider as well as the optic proxy position). Might have chance to add a few additions to the next update, I'll see how they fit into my work-schedule.

NOİCE DON'T STOP OR NOİCE WİLL STOP DONT STOP MODER

Just realised as well, unsure if you're aware, charging handle latch on the L119A2 is incorrect

SJB weapons in OFP was best in this old game. There look great as well.

really good, only thing i can see wrong is the barrel profile of the L119A1 SFW, the barrel should thicken towards the muzzle

@Don Woonchinster: I'll consider the C8 variant.

@PurpurPolarBear: The A2 model is still very much WIP. I've been in contact with someone who has provided me with some nice reference images and model parts to cannibalise and use in further developing the A2. Stay tuned...

@Fire Lord Iroh: I could....but I probably wont...

Could separate the flash hiders i.e. RHS and put them in the suppressor slot to make it a modular system

omg more m4 variants yas just what i need

Another thin to add to the nitpick, as the A2 has an IUR, there should be no rail blob, should be a continuous top rail. Optics are also slightly too far back imo

A stupid nitpick. To my knowledge, a FA556-212 has never been seen on the A2's, only the A1's. As such, the flash hider is technically incorrect, as it needs to be the 216a and not the 215

I'm one of the few people in the US that seriously collect Diemaco/CC rifles, so its awesome to see both the L119's and C7/C8 well done in Arma. You should consider doing the C8 SFW with an 11.6" barrel and Ops 15th suppressor

NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE

very good m4 variation

That's cool Jackal. It was good to hear back from you. I hope it all works out well.

@All: I'm looking at working on animations to better reflect the correct use of a vertical fore-grip - stay tuned:

@Fire Lord Iroh: I'll look into adjusting the OD shade more into line with other in-game assets.

@Komrade Doggo: Probably not. My reasons for keeping everything compartmentalised with everything separate from one another is to enable people to be able to only use the weapons they want without having to download a HUGE >2GB pack (if not bigger by the time I'm done) for just a few ARs or handguns etc - I made that mistake back in the OFP days. Plus, I'm new to STEAM Workshop releases and I understand they have some sort of size limitations on PBOs or content in general so a separate release structure works out better for me...

@True Kult: More AK variants are 'planned', as well as some other non-Western weapons in other packs too. Stay tuned...

Hey that's pretty good. I appreciate that you kept vanilla sounds, so it works with sound mods. I especially like the the C7 and C8, great job!

If I may ask, are you going to do more AK variants or is it more of a AR stuff mod?

this mod look good will you make a all i one pack like ni arms

Loved your weapon packs back in the OFP days.

So glad to see you back for ArmA3 now. Good stuff!

Dude, these are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ excellent. Is there a chance that the C7A2 and C8 could have their green handguards slightly desaturated as to match with the Green of the C7A1 and C79 optic from the GlobMob DLC? Right now they look a bit too monster-energy green, and not forest-camo green

remember lads the most important thing about arma is looking cool

yea i agree with what felix said. those anims obv wouldnt improve performance in game but would add to the tacticool factor

It's really high quality looking stuff. Well done.

About the vertical foregrip animations.

Every shooter is different, but here is a picture that shows the proper hand placement for a vertical foregrip. https://i.imgur.com/yPe9VdN.png

This is not exactly a C-Clamp style grip as many people know it, but it is very similar, and it is the way they were designed to be used. In my amateur opinion, it is the most ambiguous and universal type of grip that works for the greatest number of shooters. And, due to the way Arma does your "idle" animations (when your gun is not raised), it should look alright.

If you do decide to try and change it, I hope the reference image helps. Good luck in any case.

Will also add that on the L119A2 the optic position feels a bit too far back - look at aimpoints etc on it. Would recommend putting it forwards an inch or so

+1 to Nomad's request - modern guns need modern grips ;)

Holy Moly, SJB Weapons, great to see you back.
