FN M249

Could someone make me a M249 SAW? i love this gun and was rather displeased that there is nothing even close to this weapon in the game.

I'd like to see a belt-fed GMPG in F3 as well. It could theoretically be done but the animations would cause some headaches. Our best bet would be if either someone made one that's reconfigured to be fired from the position like the miniguns where the trigger is moved above the receiver or if someone made one with new animations after the SDK would be released.

well i dont care if the belt moves if it reloads correctly so long as it looks decent when cleanse the wasteland of the unclean filth.(raiders, ghouls, hairless bears)

[cerebov]

or hell, work around the belt animation problem by adding a belt cover of some sort, maybe fixed to the ammo box. that would just leave the reload animation to fix.

[cerebov]

sorry for crappy mspaint pic, but something like this could solve the belt prob.

I'm sure a belt movement could be added to the firing animation once the GECK is released.

 

Honestly, we'd need it anyway for the reload animation at the least. A belt 'cover' doesn't really exist, either - they are too easily dented/bent/etc into the ammo belt and causes it to jam more than it helps in most cases.

Yeah I noticed there aren't any machine guns in game, the closest things (on both sides of the spectrum) being an assault/chinese rifle or a mini gun.

 

 

Unlike Fallout: Tactics where you had more M249s than you knew what to do with (Super Mutants used them one-handed, like everyone else used pistols).

yeah i know belt covers don't exist, and once the G.E.C.K. is released animation wont be to much of a problem, im just formulating potential work arounds in hope that i might get my gun sooner rather than later. little hope though.

ever heard of drums? the m249 has a strangely deformed one for example with 200 bullets 5.56

just use any animation that puts a clip somewhere or the c.shotgun ani...

and the geck wont solve any animation export and import problems btw... a full sdk would but i doubt we get somin like that

wait, what? judging by all the "when the geck is released" talk i thought it would enable my character to fire lasers from his nipples and exhale toxic gas. :rolleyes:
