M249 because there's more ammo for it.
.308 is too scarce.

Sneak Peek Pics ARE UP (below): progress will be posted in the AA12 BETA v1 download page in the comment box until the beta hits.

About the size of the FN249;

Yes, the scale of the FN249 will need to be increased; these are pics of the alpha which is freshly imported.

-Don't expect the size to inflate beyond 10-20% though, the buttstock length to the pistol grip matches with the hand animations. If I blow it up too far in any or all dimensions, it will no longer look like the character is holding the gun.

-The actual FN249 SAW is NOT a great deal larger than an assault rifle; it IS bigger, but not by the scale seen by say, the M60. Right now the FN249 SAW is closely overlapping the dimensions of the chinese assault rifle; so it appears to be the same scale as an assault rifle, which is to say: it looks tiny from what you might expect a light machinegun to be.

There is a little more work to be done as you can see before the Beta hits.

I am also picking away at other Betas, but expect to see something by weeks end.
I also have to verify the model is freely released royalty free material, which I'm confident it should be.

I'm at a crossroads in the mod here... Need some opinions;

I have managed to import both the M60, and the FN249 into FO3; right now they are both using the chinese assault rifle animations;

- This is not optimal as the both of the assault rifles reload graphics are very quick and I have been unable to make the animation slower; these belt fed weapons need the hinderance of a longer reload for game balance.

I am debating using a heavily altered minigun frame and have it be wielded like I had the M2 as it was in FOT:BOS;

- This I think would break reality for too many people however, most of which are probably expecting more CS or other FPS style of holding the weapon.




In a nutshell;
I can have an appropriate length reload graphic, but you will always fire from the hip/carrying handles and never from the shoulder. (Rambo Style)

I can have an appropriate position realistically holding the weapon, but the reload will be very unbelievably fast.

Im still voting for my duke nukem chain gun, all these normal guns are getting kinda boring

[jsnider193]

Stay with ass rifle reload ... I for one hardly ever notice reload as to busy dodging attackers to watch this action.

[inkheart449]

Digi stay on topic please and stop whining about your gun
Anyway i'd think the M60 would be cool
