Neither the M4 nor the M27 are being recognized as valid weapons by krav maga - anyone know why that might be or how to fix it?

With the recent changes to gun mods, those are no longer in the AUTOMATIC\_RIFLES category, which martial arts use to check compatibility with a given style.

I would suggest you open a bug report on github.

Thanks, will do. Is there a way to edit my local json to include them?

Yes you should be able to just re-add the flag.

```auto
"weapon_category": ["AUTOMATIC_RIFLES"],

```

Previously they were using copy-from rifle\_auto so they inherited the flag ([Cataclysm-DDA/obsolete.json at fd8bbfe5ecfc9d53d7c18394861dc2af638fc991 · CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA · GitHub](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/fd8bbfe5ecfc9d53d7c18394861dc2af638fc991/data/json/items/gun/obsolete.json#L53)).

Unfortunately as they’re now “modular” there is no guarantee that they are _automatic_ rifles so the proper fix (outside your local files) is probably not going to be so simple.
