oddball600 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 could somebody possibly make a mod which is the SL8-6 since it is like my favourite assault rifle. :biggrin: also could there be both a scoped, no scope and silenced and non-silenced versions of it please if possible? images of the gun SL8-6 no scope SL8-6 scoped as far as i know it uses the nato rounds so it shouldn't need a new ammo type EDIT: Could the scoped have a sniper scope and be semi auto instead of full auto as well please? :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaboeN Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 as far as i know it uses the nato rounds so it shouldn't need a new ammo typeDo you have ANY IDEA what a NATO round is?When an ammunition type is designated NATO, it's means that it's in use by most, if not all, NATO countries. Which means German and American troops in the same operations can share ammo of the same caliber without difficulties. At the top off my head, there is 7.62x55mm NATO (In use by Norway) (NOT for the AK) and 5.56mm NATO (in use by the USA) But if I'm right, and I have no reason to doubt myself, the SL-8 uses the 5.56mm NATO. NATO is NOT a caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball600 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 i know what NATO is no need to pick up on a technicality unless you are middle aged man who sits in his basement watching waiting for someone to make a mistake.... and generally i thought since heckler and koch was an american company it would use the 5.56mm NATO so i thought that would be obvious in itself oh yea and by the way if you read it closely it says as far as i know it uses the nato rounds it says this because i typed maybe a bit too fast and didn't read it after i meant to put either of the nato rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NATO is NOT a caliber. Calm down there, shortstuff. If you're referring to the Norwegian 6.5x55mm, that's not a NATO round, and dates back to the late 1800's, long before the formation of NATO. I believe you mean 7.62x51mm NATO, which is a common round developed by the United States. Regardless, the SL-8 is not chambered in either. I'd also like to point out he said 'nato rounds' not 'nato round', which is plural, not singular. I believe he understands the presence of more than one type of round. Finally, the SL-8 is chambered in .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO. 5.56x45mm exists in vanilla Fallout 3, and in CALIBR. Remington .223 on the other hand does not (to my knowledge), but seeing as it's (disregarding the Military-grade VS Civilian-grade quality debate) almost exactly similar to 5.56x45mm in dimension, I don't see how it can be an issue to add it to the game. 5.56x45mm is in use by almost all NATO countries, not just the United States. This includes Germany (For the G36 series), the United Kingdom (for the SA80 series), and many other nations. It's a very common round. and generally i thought since heckler and koch was an american company it would use the 5.56mm NATO As for you, mister, H&K is a German company. Both of you need to get your facts straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManOfGah Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Umm, so is anyone actually interested in the gun, or just the ammo it uses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaboeN Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'm interested, I just happen to sound RAGING some times.And I meant the 7.62x51mm, I mixed it up with 6.5x55mm as that is the round I use in my Krag.Also, I'll be nice and provide some pictures for those who do not know what gun we are talking about. http://www.hkpro.com/sl8right.jpghttp://www.hkpro.com/sl8proto.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
