Oddball_E8 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) anyone tried to make a "half-way" emulation of the M249 SAW? is it possible to add front grip and sights to the SAW in-game? maby even an M203? IMAGES: http://www.gun-world.net/fn/minimi/spw-5.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/stan420/Pictures/ne...c/m249_PP03.jpg EDIT: since i wrote this at like 2 am i forgot that there already is a front grip... but sights would be nice...

Commander Outcast Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 SAW already has a front grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgt.hoot Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 its been awhile since ive been on (here) but as far as i can tell its very hard to, i tried putting a combat sight on the SAW but i couldnt get it to work properly, in the mean time take an xm8 and put 200 rounds in each magazine, problem solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringMan Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) problem with the SAW is, it accepts optics mods (for whatever reason, as the game doesn't provide any fitting ones), but they won't line up properly because its not possible to mod away the ironsights. so the only way is making a reddot thats LOWER than the iron sights, something like a C-More or a very low mounted aimpoint. i always let my NPC sawgunner use the aimpoint, it doesn't affect his aiming and looks more tacticool. but there's another problem, sometimes he forgets to close the feed cover after a reload, which looks quite funny. aside from that, Acog on the M14 would be cool!

MrNothing Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 but spring man weren't you able to put the Eotech on the SAW because in the magpul masada thread you showed a saw with a Eotech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringMan Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) you can put any sights on the SAW, but when you try to look through, you'll only see the rail/buttons/whatever is under it. the SAW always tries to line up the iron sights, and they're too low for all the other optics. as i said, i give them to the NPC players because they don't bother. i'm not sure, but i think it was possible to use some sights with the SAW in GRAW1, but for some reason they only produce FUBAR in GRAW2.

GRIN_Wolfsong Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 There is only one animation set for the SAW in GRAW2, and probably in GRAW1 then. Different sight alignments require different animation sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different sight alignments require different animation sets. yes, this could be solved with low mounted sights that use the ironsights animation. but on the other hand, these sights wouldn't be very useful with the ironsights still in the way.

Yorkshire Sniper Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 thats a major shame..... it would have really looked ace being able to add mods to the saw..... are there any plans to include this in a future patch GRIN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringMan Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) this is what you get when you try to mount optical sights, in this case Snowfellas Eotech: it should be noted that the actual aiming point is where the nightvision button can be seen, behind the rear sight. this is the only workaround i can think of: could this be realized without too much effort and with Brettzies aimpoint model?

Yorkshire Sniper Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 What aboutthe reflex sight off the Madasa CQB? that should do it if the model has some of the lower block taken off that might fit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowFella Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Nah, won't fit mate. And face it, even if it does fit the SAW's ironsights will still be in the way blocking your view. The only type of sights that might have something like the right hight would be something along the lines of a Docter sight. They are low enough that they might line up.

Commander Outcast Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 But the whole point of having one in a game is to increase your field of view while aiming. If you don't use zoom sights you might as well stick to the irons if you can't see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
