Drum Magazine for M41A Rifle

[oprayx73]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
A drum magazine made for the M4A1 to allow for longer periods of sustained fire
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Will put some desire into using your bullets instead of grenade launchers only,
could be useful for specialists or a spawn in the armoury
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Simply order it from cargo, or implement it into specialist' gear/armoury
to use for the m4a1. Fits in like a regular magazine, however is pretty big and only fits in their bags. NOT belts.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Maybe only have 1-2 in each specialist vendor or two in the armoury? seeing as it would be a desirable, good item, i bet people would be glad to steal it or something.

+1 but I'd like the L6 and the Turret back. So that heavy fire can still be given.

M41AE2 is lore wise a squad light support weapon variant of the M41A. It's fitted with a heavier, longer barrel, the grenade launcher is removed, and the barrel has a bipod attached. I know it's in game already, but I've only seen it used once.

EDIT: Lemme rephrase my thoughts here, since I kinda just posted that lore bit above. I feel like that the M41AE2 ought to be available to standards, but as stated in the OP have the L-mags (let's nerf that shit to 100, not 300) can only fit in backpacks. But (and this is a big butt) the E2 cannot fit on suit storage spaces, only on your back. This way, other squad mates will have to carry spare ammo for their automatic rifleman.

I concur with the ammo backpack idea, kind of like the smartgun.

The M41AE2 is not ever going to end up in the hands of standards as a standard issue weapon.

It would sooner be a spec weapon.



L6 is dead and burried.

RIP. A bummer some people want the AP rounds and LMG to be Spec or Lead only. Bunch of crap from Marine Fuck Ho.

Well, my point is, +1 for extended magazine barrel, 60 10m is pretty good on an assault, or like modern double magazines tie together, and it is called "improvising".

While an M41AE2 might have 100 to 150 rounds, the gun still carry WAY more ammo.
Up to the staff, but with the new AP rounds, and complain because people do not like new toys.

I DON'T think this should be an armoury thing, seeing as everyone will just use drum magazines and stuff them in the backpack, and put everything else on the belt. I know Cargo has a lot of stuff, but this should be in the attachments vendor, and count as an attachment. +1.

Well, thats what people want (60b mags) since the beginning but for the balance reasons I think ill be okay to add drum mags into SLs and Specs (engis and meds with full satchels of materials and medcine may find this mags usefull too) vendomates. Also few mags may be bundled with B18 armor crate because its obvious in such case specialist will prefer to take pulse rifle with him.

I dont like the idea to make drum's as attachment because theres already lots of UB attachments, besides the only option - itll be coded as shotgun-shell box or powerpack'ish thus letting attachment owner to feed more then one mag into rifle.

+1

With argument to which Marine classes that will get the drums, you must not forget the Lore, and how "CM TEAMS" deal with this double drums ammunition.
On a side note, we should just have duct tape, it involved magazine, and space suit fixing, sort of.

Extended mags for the M41A already exist, but they're not accessible for marines. So I guess resolved and denied?
