Stoner Model 96 (YS)


Recommended Posts

Here's another mdoel I thought I'd share. I made some modifications on the original texture (lightened up the reciever).

I have no clue as to what the actual model is (closest I have is the MK46), but anyway, here she is:

The grey holes will all be transparent in game...

We can work on that... :hehe:

Still looks sweet. Don't know if you can tell the difference in the reciever, I'll send you (or post) comparison shots...

Uhh, I beg to differ.

Stoner never made a 96. He did make the 63, 63a, and XM207 and 86

The Xm207 was adopted by the seals as an LMG. The Stoner 86 was intended for the military in the 80's as an updated 63, but never went into full scale production. Ares was suppossed to build it. KAC did make some components for the 63 series.

The M96 is made by Robinson Arms and while based on the Stoner 63, is a new weapon. The Stoner and Robinson weapons are modular, in the sense that like the Steyr AUG, you can mix and match components to build carbines, rifles, bren type lmgs, and SAW type LMGs. Right now Robinson only offers the Bren conversion, in addition to the rifle and carbine models. Stoner and Robinson components are NOT interchangeable (except for the buttstocks)

Here is a picture of a Stoner 63 in SAW mode

Here are shots of the Stoner/ARES 86

Its very confusing because the 63, 86, and 96 all look alike. And they basically have the same origins. It also doesn't help that there are at least 4 companies involved in the manufacture of the various weapons.

Nomenclature aside, that is a cool model.

My only complaint is in regards to the linked ammo/ammo bag. You definately need a new texture. Something along the lines of this Minimi.

Ok one more, the rear stock seems to be too low on the back of the receiver area. It should be alittle more centered.

SC & Ogre_H,

You two never cease to amaze me, I told Ruin that orge_h would know, and there he is with his 2-cents.

SC I owe you that skin-mod, havent forgotten, I had a PC nightmare and actually lost everything, I am slowly recreating the desert tiger stuff, when it's done, I will pack it up and ship it off.

SC, I've asked Knight's for some more info on the S96. I hope they'll get back to me.

I came across these airsoft sites

These are airsoft replicas, but they're pretty cool.

They seem to be the weapon.

Personally I like the black version better

I told you these f@#in Stoners were confusing!
