There's likely to be a hard limit on how many weapon variations the game can store. It is allegedly the reason why the AK-74u was in MW3's campaign and spec ops mode, but cut from multiplayer despite having a Create-a-Class icon. In theory, one could sacrifice an attachment variant to put more guns into the game, but it's something to think thoroughly about.

If you remove the Heartbeat Sensor, the Ninja Perk becomes completely irrelevant until its Pro version is unlocked. I would probably cut Akimbo and Rapid Fire attachments as they completely change the gun's balance, but then I would end up redesigning everything anyway.

One of the problems of MW2, and IW4X by extension, is how the weapons are coded. Every attachment combination is technically a separate weapon (this is why certain attachments give the weapon unusual buffs/nerfs, such as the FAL with a Holographic Sight having higher minimal damage, or the AK-47 in CoD4 with a Red Dot having lower).

The new guns they have added have a rather limited set of attachments, if at all: the M40A3, Dragunov, and the Peacekeeper have no attachments, the AK-74u only gets the ACOG and Extended Mags (meaning there's four AKSU variants: naked, with ACOG, with Xmags, with both ACOG and Xmags), while the AK-47 Classic actually gets all of its classic attachments in addition to Bling support.

The MW2 Dragunov actually has all the attachments in its models, meaning it's almost complete and ready to be turned into a full-fledged sniper rifle complete with camos, but IW4X's game modification is not as extensive as to bring additional challenges for its new weapons.

I swear IW4X should hire you to make custom guns for them. Knocked it out of the park again.

I'll do the same for The Stalker at some point.

Maybe it's the updated origin where the scope does not protrude through the middle of the screen.

Снайперский РПК.... о, ладно... Жаль тут не стоит какой-нибудь из старых прицелов, по типу Каштана или приспособленного ПСО

I love how creative your mods are. The way you combine different assets to make these cool guns is impressive!
