The Saiga is a vBF2 model, and as such can't be edited.

Well, it's obviously been edited before. The vBF2 model does not have shells in the magazine, but in PR it does.

Surely if shotgun shells can be added, that hole can be fixed, right?

I fairly sure that BF2 models can be edited, after all is'int the ak-74 in game based on some BF2 model

Well, Alpha Project has DICE stuff modified, so it is possible.

Thanks for reporting this.

[dtacs]

I've seen developers comment multiple times that the models can't be edited and used in mods, guess not.

[Chuc]

Well that rule kinda faded away somewhere between 2009 and 2010, but while we can edit the models, more often than not it's easier and more beneficial in the long-run to make our own assets.

[dtacs]

How did that rule become moot? I would've thought that EA would be extremely hesitant to let others use their work.

[Chuc]

I think it was discussions directly with DICE (?), I'm not 100% certain how it got that way myself.

You could ADD stuff to the models but not alter them or remove stuff, hence the desert BHs have the engine covers while bein vBF2.

This, you cannot modify the models in any way, but you can add other models or parts on them in-game so they look better. In Saiga, the model has not been altered, but a model of shell has been placed in the magazine.
