Mod request: SUBMACHINE GUNS use PISTOL AMMO

[Cthorthu]

 

No more no less. This is necessary.

 

I tried, but I don't have the modding skills to do this... yet

Bump, was annoyed by that myself. That said, the Kang Tao Dian should probably still use rifle ammo, the mag on that thing is giant.

It's a smart gun, thus it uses special projectiles

Anyway, if the weapon is a submachine gun, if fires pistol ammo.

 

Automatic carbine >>> Uses rifle ammo >>> It's an assault rifle

Automatic carbine >>> Uses pistol ammo >>> It's a submachine gun

 

So, there are two options:

• If uses rifle ammo: Weapon must be recategorized to "assault rifle" (but this way it will have inconsistencies because having noticeable less damage per shot than other assault rifles).
• If is a submachine gun: Weapon must use pistol ammo.

 

There are also special cases, compact carbines that fires small sized rifle ammo. This weapons are called PDW ("personal defense weapon") but there are still very rarely nowadays (and this category would require a new ammo type in game...).
