[CE] Armalite Survival Rifles

In 1 collection by Anthony.
Anthony. Combat Extended Mods

Description
Adds the Armalite Survival rifles. Lightweight, cheap, and potent in a pinch. These rifles work great for pilots and vehicle crews that otherwise would not normally engage enemy soldiers.


AR-5

- Chambered in .22 Hornet
- Bolt Action
- 5 round magazine
- Unlocked with Gunsmithing
- Longer range than AR-7 (more potent caliber)

AR-7

- Chambered in .22lr
- Semi Automatic
- 10 round magazine
- Unlocked with Blowback Operation

Note : Combat Extended can be a bit finnicky with the Aiming modes. the AR-5 by default will be a "aimed shot" and the AR-7 by default will be a snapshot.

Most pistols are effective to 50m IRL IIRC. I think 40-44 for the survival rifles will probably be a good enough balance of realism and game balance for the average CE player.

Went ahead and updated the mod to improve the weapon ranges. iirc the AR-5 is now 44 tiles and the AR-7 is now 40 tiles. based this off a 10/22 mod I had and the base Assault rifle (which was closer to 50-60 tiles from my testing. not sure if I had a submod affecting its range)

I think the range of the vanilla assault rifle(30) would work well for the AR-7 and the bolt action(36) for the AR-5 for normal CE usage, not like any weapon even gets close to it's realistic max range in Rimworld

Interesting. I used the default weapons from CE to base the range off of though I can probably buff range by a few tiles since I based the AR-7 was based off the keltec pistol iirc

Very nice rifles to have as starting equipment using your choice of customized start since their ammo doesn't make you particularly powerful, only one problem: their range makes them useless since you need to shoot things several times to do meaningful damage. While Im sure what I gave them would be excessive for the average player, what I buffed their ranges to was 45 tiles for the AR-7 and 50 for the AR-5, for comparison, most assault rifles and full power rifles have ranges of 60+ in my current load order

yeah, I've noticed there are very few .22lr rifles and even less .22 Hornet guns. One of my favorite rifles I own the AR-7 (and by extension, its grandfather the AR-5) fits both roles perfectly

Finally some use for the 22lr
