Hey, So I wrote about M16A2 before (to add small feature with acog mount which will turn it to assault rifle + semiauto mid range marksman rifle), but here's also another way to do it. Just edit a little the M16A2 model and add railmount, which basically will turn it in M16A4, it can be fully based on M16A2 class with small changes (so no additional hard work required, except of editing the model). Then you can devide M16A2 units spawn amount as 3/4 will be m16A2 and 1/4 will be M16A4.

PSS. When I say "no additional hard work required" I understand how hard sometimes your work can be, so I say that with all the respect, and I only say it 'cause I tried it all the way myself (importing into the game, experementing with SMDI, damage levels, LODS). It took like 4 hours for me, but most of the time I was experimenting with SMDI and making distance lods

And I know that you applied initSpeedMultiplier = 1 for M16 and only 0.9 for m4, which is ok, 'cause M16 has longer barrel. It's very nice that you pay attention to such small but vital details, +rep for that

Hey Geez, I'm stupid, Just re read the M16s description, which says "lacks of optics support, but has remarkable firepower", whis is logical (longer barrel + 1.0x multiplier against 0.9x in M4A1). I like and respect that approach, actually it is one of many little things that I like Dayz for so much (it has to be real, have a purpouse, reason, like IRL). So acog+vanilla M16 is not an option. But you can still make M16A4 (which is one of the M16 variants) with the piccatini rail therefore ability to attach scopes. That already will be low top tier marksman rifle (still not top like SVD, you should fill that gap with some .308 marksman, 'cause "western" side of dayz weapons has no similar to SVD variants right now). Make new M16A4 only 10-20% of vanilla M16 spawn amount, that will prevent the wide spread of a weapon, you can also place it only inside the bunker on 3rd lvl, same as AUG right now. M16A4 with acog looks really nice, plus again, you'll only have to replace top receiver, but I'm sure you have it as a alt option in vanilla M16 3d model blueprint. And ofc hoping you'll add M249(or PKP pecheneg)/RPG-7 in 2023.
