The FBI HRT guys have a custom built Springfield, sold to civilians as the TRP.
@Piccolo, that wouldn't happen to be Springfield XD (HS 2000 in it's country of origin) by any chance? If not, do you know of any unit that uses them? (apart from LEO)

@JTF-2, some of the weapons you saw on our site are already available..just download Croatian Army Mod v1.0. you'll find it in GR download section, look under equipment mods. The 1.0 version of Croatian Army comes with only 3 new missions, available as quick missions.
Our plan for the 2.0 version is to re-work ALL of the weapons in the mod, so to make them M-70AB and H&K G3a3 quallity you saw rendered there. Also, a full 16 mission campaign is in the make for the mod...and some other goodies

.......and no we didn't tape our mags together like they do in the movies...(some units do actually do it but not many)...the exposed top of the mag can get dirt in it and when you load it..you may have a jam or misfire from it.
@ZRated, not putting you down or anything..I agree, the dirt can get inside an exposed top of the mag...if you tape the mags facing in oposite directions. There is, however, a rather neat trick to avoid that; you take a fired brass case, put it between the two mags, a bit closer to the uper part, and then tape them together. The brass case works as a stand-off device between mag's openings and taped mags looks like a "V". That way, both mags are faced upwards and the dirt has little chance of getting in. Also, when you're swiching mags, you don't have to flip them in your hand to load the full one, you just take the end of an empty one out and insert the full one in. It works fine with FN-FAL and AK-47/74 based weapons, I used it during the war over here...not sure if it would work with M-16/ M4...

Steyr carbine 407mm barrel - click on this and compare the shape of the gun. These are the pics I used for modeling this weapon.
-
Steyr commando, 350mm long barrel, in dark olive-anthracite colour, with forward grip both folded and extended...will feature in AUS_Vipers upcoming ADF mod as a specialist operative weapon..find out more HERE
-
Don't get it the wrong way..model is looking great, but those renders seem to be a little out of focus...fuzzy...can you post some sharp looking renders? I'd like to see details on the texture...that inox finish on the revolver looks great

Steyr carabine, 407mm long barrel, with forward grip both folded and unfolded....

Guys, I'm looking for texture-quality pics of FN MAG and SAR-80..any help would be appreciated...

What mod?
This gun will be in Croatian Army Mod 2.0 which is currently under construction...
The mod will feature this and other hi-detailed weapons by Black Sabbath and me (search this forum for my H&K G3a3 and G3a4 posted renders), new skins and characters, a full 16 mission campaign and some other cool stuff...
-
Thats a great high-res texture, where did u get it from?
They came with a compliments of yours truly..
It's amazing what a man can do with a digital cammera and access to Croatian Army's weaponry..
Stand by for more great work by Black Sabbath
-
Can you do one with all the attachments such as laser etc,some great pics in the Aussies Army mag "Defender"
AUS_Viper is providing all the info on Aussie weapons and equipment..so yes, there will be some accesories-equipped Steyrs in ADF mod, mostly as specialist weapons. This is just a basic model for regulars. Expect some Steyrs wrapped in Aussie cammo duck-tape, integral suppressor version, carabine version (407mm barrel) commando version (350mm barrel) and some red-dot/night sights equipped versions.
The model rendered here is a standard assault rifle version Steyr AUG with 508mm barrel.

A little something I did for Aus_Vipers upcoming mod..this will be basic weapon for Aussie troops
This weapon is under 1900 polys...again I went a little overboard with details..opinions, anyone?
-
Wow!!! that rivals Standard Upgrade! will it be a player weapon or enemy only? (or both?)
It will be both...
-
God blimey! If I didn't know better, I'd say it's my old service weapon Great work!!

Pounds. Actually a little more as it was 100 kilograms, for 3 or 4 sets, 8-10 reps. But that's when I was twenty. I'll be thirty this year and like my shape better now.
??@budgie, I'm 32 and I bench press 110kg (240lbs)...being 30 doesn't mean you have to cut back...
As for my other hobbies...riding (and customizing) bikes...so far I had 4 bikes..my first one was '55 BMW, then I moved to Moto Guzzi Falcone (military police model), then Kawasaki LTD, a cute little custom..nowadays I ride my Honda Bol 'd Or 900..oldie but goodie
Shooting (in general) I like to shoot every gun I lay my hands on. Appart from shooting my HS 2000 and almost every rifle, SMG and MG in use by Croatian army, I hang 'round the shooting range and grab every oportunity to shoot something new. Just a few days ago I had a pleasure to shoot FN FAL semi auto version equipped with red dot scope...can't miss with that one.
Martial arts. I trained both Kendo and Aikido, but unfortunately I coudn't fit those trainings in my frantic schedule so I stopped. If a new dojo opens in my town, I'll probably continue with Aikido.
Movies. I enjoy good, realistic war movies (like Charlie Mopic, BHD...) SF (Star Wars, Star Treck, Alien 1-4)
Military stuff. Still hang out with old war buddies (my best friend is Seargent major) so we talk about the old days and the future of the army, swap ideas about weapons and equipment and strategy...
Computer stuff. RTS games (C&C serial), and moding for a little known game..Ghost Recon

If this is indeed your first work, I must say I'm impressed...looking nice
-
@Marcinko (or should I say @GR Junky
) looking forward to try out the mod, any ETA yet?BTW, Croatian MPs are in Afganistan as we speak with the German contingent, so I'm following what's happening there closely....I'm thinking about an aftermath Afganistan mod...

Here are some new wepons I did for AUS_Vipers upcoming mod AUD Operation Stabilise. Browning HP35 9mm (above) and the SD variant (below)
You can find more about this mod on AUS Vipers Ghost Recon Mods

..okay you may say what about medical units etc,true,but frontline Infantry are there to Kill,by any means possible!!.
@Argyll, I hope you're not suggesting that medical units are soft...my position during the Croatian war for independance (or as we refere to it "the Croatian Homeland War) was infantry/medic...belive me when I say I had to fight every bit as hard as the rest of the guys..with one exception; when there was a "man down" situation, rest of the guys would just grind their teeth and continue fighting, whille I had to drag the wounded comerade to safety, tend his wounds, stabilize him for transport, and then return to the fight. Another thing about being a medic, a thing that's more hard to do mentaly rather then physically, is that infantry teaches you to use your downed comarade as a cover if you find your self under fire whille stabilising him. The infantry logic is; he's already combat-ineffective, so it's less damage to the unit if he gets shot again (and quite possibly gets killed), then if the unit lose a medic. Easy to say, hard to do.
Sorry guys, I know this hasn't much to do with a situation in Iraq, but I just had to get it out of my system.
-
First to cover the topic: during the war, I fired all kind of wepons...let's see...M-70, M-70AB (Yugoslavian AK-47 7,62mm variants)AKM 7,62mm (Rumanian AK 47), AK-74 5,45mm, FN FAL 7,62x51mm NATO, M-48 7,9mm carabin, M-58 7,9mm machine gun (Yugo MG 42 variant) DP 7,62 Nagant cal machine gun, Thompson '45 SMG, ERO 9mm SMG, CZ 7,65mm pistol, TT 7,62mm pistol, ZOLJA AT launcher (Yugo variant of LAW), several types of shotguns...
M-70AB was my service weapon, so that's the gun I have the most extensive expirience with.
Nowadays I own (and fire) only my HS 2000 9mm...

Here's a quote from an interview with Croatia' Ministry of Defence (19.02. 2003), just after Croatia signed a Vilnius group countries' statement of support to the US policy on Iraq
As for the Vilnius Group countries' statement of support to the U.S. policy on Iraq, Antunovic said it represented a form of additional pressure on Iraq to meet Security Council demands to cooperate with U.N. inspectors and to destroy weapons of mass destruction. This was also the main reason behind Croatia's signature on the statement, she said.Antunovic added that all misunderstandings regarding the signature would be cleared though diplomatic channels.
On the government's behalf she appealed on the United States, the European Union and the other nations of the anti-terror coalition to be agreed and united in future activities regarding the Iraqi crisis, within the U.N. Security Council.
Antunovic also called on Iraq to fully implement U.N. resolution 1441, warning that the outcome of the crisis depended solely on Iraq's conduct
And to back up our stand with actions, a company of Croatian Army Military Police will leave for Afganistan to join the German contingent there. Croatia will also support the US in it's future actions by providing a free "fly-over" zone and by giving the US aircraft carriers a free access to the Croatian Adriatic.
Nothing much you might say, but as much as a small country can offer for the moment....
Now, just today, Croatian president also signed an application for the Croatia's admition to the European Union. And guess which country objected to that? France! Try to guess why...in his statement, Chirac actually said that Croatia's actions counted above were "dumb move on our part"...
I guess the time will tell who actually made a dumb move...

Both Glock and HS2000 have a simmilar "feel" to it...maybe (just maybe) HS2000 sits a bit lower in hand, but both guns have that rearward "nudge" when fired, as opose to the muzzle-bouncing recoil of almost every other gun.
Just yesterday I was at the fireing range with my friend, who is a Baretta 92fs aficionado. Now, I realy cannot "trash" a Beretta, it's a great gun, but IMHO all the features of HS2000 plus it's compactness make it a better quick-draw combat shooting gun. Even my friend admits to that, but his main argument so far was he wants accuracy at 25yards+ distances, so he sticks to Beretta and it's 5'' barrel. Now the tactical is out, and you can just see in his eyes he's seriously thinking about getting one...

Ahhh..Glock. I still remember the first time when I layed my eyes on one. It was in Austria, the country of origin. Croatia is at spitting distance from Austria, and we have a "soft border"..you can enter the country with just your ID, no passeport needed.
In one such visit, I belive I went shoping for some spare parts for my motorbike, I saw this big, blocky, plastic, almost toy-looking pistol in a holster of an Austrian cop...and I fell in love. I remember thinking; I must get me one of those! But the price was just too high..
And then the HS2000 came along
...and it was cheaper, every bit as good, and Croatian too...patriotic as I am, I went and bought one, and never regret it! -
Will do.
In fact, the HS factory is located in the town I work in...I just might pay them a visit and see if there are some patches (or badges) available..
in g.r. world, ak47(7.62x39mm) vs. m16(.223cal)
in GR (PC) - General Discussion

I saw a few posts here saying 5,56mm shoots streight and has low bullit drop.. now a friend of mine who was in the South African army (they use 5,56mm Vektor R-4, a Galil clone) told me that when shooting in savannah or in bushes, even a contact with thin branches or tall grass blades can change a trajectory of the bullit...I have very little expirience with 5,56mm..so any comment on that?
I have far more expirience with 7,62x39mm, and I can say it has tramendous penetration power. When in woods, taking cover behind any tree that's less then 1ft in diameter is no cover at all..it will go right trough it. That aspect is poorly represented in GR game...
