No gun mounted flashlights?

Has anyone released a mod with Tac Lights for your weapons? I don't like the Piplight as it just puts a diameter of light around the PC. I downloaded the NVSE Flash Light mod and for the longest time, I couldn't get it to work but I recently downloaded the Flashlight Fix for it and it works. I like the idea of lighting what I am looking at but if people can put lasers on weapons and flashlights on helmets, why can't I find a mod with a Tac light on my gun?

Because the Gamebryo engine does not support movable dynamic lighting. Otherwise it would be simple.

 

All the flashlight mods which are out there are actually not lights, but weapons that fire undamaging projectiles that explode on their targets and create a radius of light there. To add those kind of effects to a weapon is possible, but every bit as tricky as making a weapon that fires multiple kinds of ammunition at once.

 

Add on the fact that the light would not move based on the animation of the weapon, and you have your answer.

I'd love to see this as well....since it would effectively do exactly as the head mounted flashlights with creating a radius of light around where you are looking it shouldn't be difficult for someone that does mods like that....though the only real difference between the headlamp and a gunlight would be the fact you'd see a flashlight strapped to your gun (i'd expect it to be a gunmod most likely dropping accuracy slightly as it changes the balance of the gun and perhaps upping weapon weight a bit)
