</div>

so i just looking around CDDA github, seeing gun JSON and found that there’s only 3 .50 cal  
weapons inside (Barrett M107A1, M2 browning and the turret version of M2 browning)

should i make a mod for more .50 cal weapons or should i contribute adding more .50 cal to the github CDDA?

You should contribute, and add them to the base game.

The other two .50s in my game must come from a mod then. There’s a single shot .50 and a modified M2 in my game.

Variety is the spice of life man and I heavily support this.

if I’m going to throw a personal recommendation I would say the M3 Browning. it looks identical to an M2 but it has a 1500 rounds per minute fire rate. that would probably be easiest to do as well since you just be changing values and description.

Good luck to you sir

Screw .50 cal, 14.5mm guns are needed.

You know it’s a big gun when a strength check is needed to cycle the first round.

Not enough to make worth adding. Should be mod content only, along with the an-94 and FA ak74’s.

Two fallacies in one:

1. Using the existence of fantastic content to justify the existence of non-fantastic content.
2. Using mod-only content to justify the existence of vanilla content.

If someone wants to make a “Russian weapons” mod, or a “Kataklizm: temnyye dni vperedi” mod set entirely in Russia, more power to them. But Russian machine guns that are extraordinarily rare in the US do not need to be in the vanilla game.
