    How easy would it be to mod the magazine reload animations? As the SMG animations is all we can work with for Assault Rifles like this. And unless we get the proper tools for custom gun animations, and/or Nuka World doesn't introduce a FO3-style Assault Rifle, I'd imagine people will have trouble with weapon mods still for their animation limitations.

      You would need Havok 64 bit, which I've heard costs 40k-100k. Without it we can't even properly open the animation files. On top of that, animation is certainly not the easiest thing to do.
      People were trying to reverse engineer things, but it's quite a task. Let's hope they manage something. If not, modding will be very limited indeed. I'm making a revolver as well, and it also suffers from not having perfect animations.
      And Nuka wWorld doesn't fill me with hope for a proper assault rifle. I imagine there will be unusual/themed weapons,

      And then Bethesda proceeds to show stuff we can't do again at E3. "Here are some examples of mods" and the first thing that appears is a robot with new animations, undoubtedly made by one of their developers during their gamejam event.

      I was hoping for a Gunrunner's Arsenal DLC one day for FO4.

      IF anything, if someone decided to make a modded version of the R91 assault rifle that uses a side fed magazine like this gun

      http://www.combatreform.org/Image1071.jpg

      That would do okay for me. A hybridization between this gun's magazine reload with the shapes of the stock and fore stock of the original R91 - could be its Bullpup version for FO4. May not be perfect, but at least it will be a better compromise over the blocky LMG we got in the vanilla game.

      Say, do you think you could make a R91/FG 42 hybrid gun like this when you get the time? You know? Give it the rifle design of the FG 42's side fed mechanism like the Fallout 4 "Assault Rifle" uses, but give it the stock, fore stock and barrel designs of the R91 Assault Rifle.

      I don't think it would be possible. It would be a lot of work, involve getting permission from the R91 author, who is not part of the community anymore, and in the end it wouldn't work because the the vanilla assault rifle is a lot bigger, the hand grips it a lot lower, causing 10x more floatiness than the smg animations. Maybe the pipe rifle anims. But I don't have a FG42 model as well.
      Even getting a gun that is similar to one of the vanilla guns ingame is often a pain, because even a small difference can mess up the animations. I think we'll have to put up with the smg anims for FO4 modding.

      Ah. I see. Very well then.

      All we can really do now is wait and see what Nuka World's Arsenal will be like and what we'll get. If we get a pistol griped rifle in it, then modders will have better chances of making proper assault rifles like the ones in FO3 and FO:NV. If not then we'll have to hope some professional modders will be able to reverse engineer the SMG animations for assault rifles.

    Another thing, I was thinking of including a foldable stock, but since the spring of the gun goes through the stock I've decided against it for realism.

      Thanks. But to be honest I'm almost giving up. I've been running into many problems that I have no idea why they're happening, and the animations are just not suited for this gun. I'd have to either make it tiny or have it floating. Damn bethesda, why do you limit modders so much. And then they show in the CK trailer stuff that we just can't do. Sigh...
      It's frustrating to say the least when you put so much work into this and have to give up when it's almost done.

      You could look at how folding and sliding stocks are done in G3s, it is the son of the STG44 and the main spring/stock combination is pretty much the same.

      Shown with a folding stock here: http://gunlab.net/another-interesting-mp-44-style-rifle/

      And hey, any chance for a Wolfenstein style Sturmgewehr drum? (like so: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/wolfenstein/images/6/66/MP43-Blueprint.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120420152401)

      Oh, something you may appreciate, two prototype German muzzle devices that probably would have seen issue & general use if it weren't for the whole "holy crap the Allies are bombing us to death" historical element: http://i.imgur.com/kXkYbQB.jpg http://i.imgur.com/NhZpsMB.jpg


      Otherwise, the mod looks fantastic, please take a gander at the radium rifle animations from Far Harbor, it's right-side ejecting & left-charging/cocking. Ohright, if it hasn't been brought up before, try and get ahold of the mod author from this: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/14255/? it has 7.92Kurz ammo, you guys may be able to figure something out.

    Looks mad decent, hopefully you'll expand into even more old weaponry like this!

    Also, don't know if this link will work, but I think a super-obnoxious night vision scope could be a nice mod. https://uncensoredspeechworldwide.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/wp-1452551013228.jpg
