[B18]Real Vanilla Gun Names

Description
This Mod changes all traditional gun names to their real life counterparts. Also, the Mod enhances the ingame descriptions with more immersive fluff-text.
The changed guns are:

*NEW* Revolver -> Single Action Army Mod. 1873

Assault rifle -> M16A2
Bolt-action rifle -> Lee-Enfield
Chain shotgun -> Saiga-12
Heavy SMG -> TEC-9
LMG -> DPM
Machine pistol -> Uzi
Auomatic Pistol -> M1911
Pump shotgun -> M870
Sniper rifle -> M700

Update 02.08.2019
-Fixed target Version for SteamWorkshop

Update 06.11.2018
-Added reallife names to Ammunition so the battlelog is more immersive.

Update 18.07.2018
-Reevaluated the LMG, now it is designated correctly as DPM instead of DP-28.
-Also there was a typo, the Description of the Mod said DP-25, where it should obviously be DP-28.
-Fixed the faulty description of the Pump Shotgun

Update 18.11.2017
-Mod is now A18 Gameversion ready.
-New firearm was added to the game and is identified as Colt Single Action Army .45 Cal Mod. 1873

Update 05.09.2017
-Now the Mod uses the newly introduced xpathing, which makes the file even smaller!
-Also the Mod is now capable of being used together with other mods which change vanilla gun stats. Be sure to set this mod on the end of your loading list.

Lol, that would explain the problem. No worries, I wasn't inconvenienced at all.

@Nianor Skywolf Hihi, I got some time on my hands and wanted to see whats wrong, took me a Minute to understand that this is my B18 Version of the Mod. I dont know how or why it is flagged as 1.0 but the correct Version is this one: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1444224777

Sry for the inconvenience. :2018bestcoffee:

@Snowi The machine pistol isn't based off the Uzi, it's based off the TEC-9. To me, the heavy SMG looks more like an HK-51 "Angry Gun" than anything else. The chain shotgun doesn't quite look like the Saiga 12 to me anymore, as it has a purely vertical magazine more like an AA-12. I don't think it's really represented by any IRL weapon. Other than that, everything else seems about right to me.

Pushed new Update, let me know if there are any bugs. :etgpilot:

Only bug I know is that there is sometimes a space missing in the log.

•Lewis guns could accomodate either a 47- or 97-round pan magazine, so any disparity between the Home Guard model and the in-game sprite could be attributed to using the larger magazine.
•The DP-28 has no pistol grip. This feature was introduced with the DPM, but the DPM had a tube protruding from the rear of the receiver to house the recoil spring. The Rimworld LMG lacks this.

For more images of the Lewis gun in the configuration I linked, you can search for things like "Home Guard Lewis Gun". "Lewis Gun without shroud" may also provide some helpful references.

(Also I hope this doesn't make me look like a troll/nitpick, I just like gun discussion)

•The Lewis variant I linked has a wooden stock (with the same downswept design as the Rimworld LMG's, while the DP-28's features a semi-circular protrusion on the underside).
•It also has the more triangular front sight (like the Rimworld LMG), where the DP-28's is much blockier.
•In-game, the barrel is skinny and apparently unshrouded, but the DP-28 has a big perforated metal heat shield around its barrel. The Lewis gun I linked has had the shroud removed.
•All three weapons show a conical muzzle.

3. The profile of the magazine on the sprite is to big vs. the profile of the Lewis, which in return checks out with the DP-28 again. Also, on the sprite the grip and stock are made out of wood, which is very common for russian designs. There are some Lewis guns which do have a wooden parts, too, but they were all painted Black for tactical reasons. (Don't know about aftermarket thou)


In conclusion: I still think it is the DP-28. Your Picture seems also highly likely, but I couldn´t find any wiki links or other leads which shows it in this configuration.

@[1] Echo-77 Now, I looked at the Lewis Gun and can say the following:
The original sprite in the game (http://rimworldwiki.com/images/b/bd/LMG.png) has many characteristics, which the Lewis guns simply doesn´t have.

1. The Original Lewis Gun (MG1917, MK.I, Model 1915 etc) did have a really big Handguard. (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/LewisGunParts1.jpg/220px-LewisGunParts1.jpg) which was removed by later (Anti-Aircraft) and licensed build variants. (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/ff/Leteck%C3%A9_muzeum_Kbely_%289%29.jpg/220px-Leteck%C3%A9_muzeum_Kbely_%289%29.jpg)

2. The muzzle on the sprite doesn't add up with the Lewis. On the sprite it starts small and gets bigger at the end, which in contrast is exactly what the DP-28 have. (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/13/Machine_gun_DP_MON.jpg/300px-Machine_gun_DP_MON.jpg)

The Rimworld LMG seems to bear the strongest resemblance to the Lewis Gun, particularly the variant used by the British Home Guard during WWII.
