M16A4, M4A1 model error

[Colonial-Marine]

I don't mean to be picky (well actually I do) but I would like to point out a little error on your M16A4 and M4A1 models.

In game both the M16 and M4 are fitted with a KAC Rail Adapter Systems, which is pretty much standard these days. However between the plastic heat-shields, you should be able to see the the circular cooling holes on the RAS itself. Now from some angles (such as viewing the weapon from the side) you won't see these, but when in the ready position in PR, they should be quite visible.

Just so everybody knows what I am talking about here is a photo of a USMC exercise in the Philippines. With all of the heat shields removed, the holes on the RAS are really visible.

probably left out due to model optimizations.

As much as realism and authenticism is necessary, you do have to cut out on unneeded waste.

Adding circle would require many more polygons(a lot more than you would imagine, actually) and would increase the amount of stress we already put through peoples computers.

Especially seeing how the BF2 engine probably wasn't made to do that anyways. =/

(thats why on some tanks and some models they use Bumpmaps instead of actually using polygons.)

I understand, finally getting a computer than can run BF2 maxed out easily may be jading me a bit.

Perhaps a texture/skin change would accomplish the same effect rather than actually changing the weapon's 3D model. Perhaps I will use my horrible artistic skills on MS Paint to see if could work.
