Some people using The M14 Standalone Rifle mod made by FF7CloudStrife and Moniterman are experiencing a glitch when using the taclight attachment. The flashlight points in a 2 o clock direction of their character (basically, the light is at the far right side of their screen in first person). Given that the player isn't constantly looking out of their own right ear, the light becomes useless as a result.

After checking through the bug section, the nexus user Wenderer provides a solution using nifskope. However, some were unsure of their ability to modify the mesh file properly using the program.

To that end, I opened up nifskope for the first time with no experience and followed his instructions, altering the mesh. After testing and confirming it's functionality, I decided to upload the mesh file for other.

This isn't technically a mod in that sense, it's just a bugfix for a mod someone else made. I'm only really uploading it here because I dunno where else to put it.
If you're experiencing this bug, feel free to use this file and fix it.

Just go to the M14 Standalone Rifle mod folder (something like The M14 V1.0-9667-1-0), go to Meshes/Weapons/M14 and replace the m14light.nif file with this one (don't change the filename, just replace it!)
