M24 SWS

[Chuc]

Remember this?



Not for much longer.



Well, it's with great pleasure that I present to the Project Reality world, an asset that was kindly lent to us from the devs down at Firearms: Source, to replace the vanilla M24 in 0.95.

A little disclaimer about the change from the vanilla magazine fed M24 to the internal magazine counterpart.

There's nothing wrong with using the original version of the M24 either. While the M24A2 is being used by a large number of troops, you'll still see the original in the hands of many US Army snipers around the world. Many soldiers, myself included, prefer the internal fixed magazine and will continue using those rifles until they are removed from inventory (which I don't see happening any time soon).

There's no need for a box magazine, as the US Army has made no official adoption of that upgrade, to my knowledge. I think rounds are fed into the internal magazine individually, since I don't know if they use stripper clips for the match grade rounds.

M24A2 and M24A3 are marketing names by Remington and they have not been adopted and type-classified by the DoD. One non-SOF unit (I think 25th ID) purchased M24A3s with AICS stocks in .300 Win Mag or .338 Lapua (I'll have to check), but again, this is not Army wide.

The model we have from firearms is basically the correct model.

*Omphf ompfh* digital orgasm. Are you going to add a bit of dirt and stuff on the desert version, because it looks very clean and unused ???

Can't really be seen in that video, but I've used it in test builds and it's got loads of scratches on it. The bolt looks like it's been cycled a million times as well

[Zrix]

Looks great, and I love the new 3D scopes.

[DeltaFart]

honestly I wasn't happy with the reload animation, it seems like the rounds are just popping up into his hand, like hes doing magic

[psychickactivity]

Bang Bang !!!

[Nebsif]

Uhm, Why we cant hear the shells hitting the ground when scoped in? (Goes for all scoped weapons)

[CaptainGasper]

speed reload!

if you've ever reloaded a magazine its easier and quicker to grab a handful (in this case 5) and then feed them through your hand and push them in, the animation doesn't look perfect (as it'd be hard to replicate the hands movements exactly) but it's still very good

Nice, nice. Finally a blog that showed something!

Want 0.95 about NAO!
