- Permissions and credits
This mod rechambers the Chinese Assault Rifle (and all base game variants) to fire .308 Caliber ammunition instead of 5.56mm.
Given that the .308 round is basically the same as a 7.62mm NATO round, this seems a closer approximation of realism. Though the Chinese Assault Rifle would probably be more likely to fire 7.62mm Soviet ammo, this would add extra complications of a new ammo type being added to the game, and I like to keep things as uncomplicated as possible, only adding new calibers if really needed.
Besides, since Fallout 1 & 2 used 5mm for its AK-series assault rifle, Fallout 3 uses 5.56mm, and this mod uses .308 (7.62mm), which you prefer is more a matter of preference than what "realism" dictates. :)
Several esp files are included; use only ONE of them, depending on whether you have Operation Anchorage installed or not, and whether you need compatibility with the "Accurate Assault Rifles" or "Weapon Mod Kits" mods.
See the readme file for more details.
NOTE: I have not been able to test that the simulation section of "Operation Anchorage" works correctly with this mod. If it does not, please let me know so I can fix it!
