Introduction
The rifles were offered in four proprietary Remington calibers: .25, .30, .32, and .35 Remington, along with .300 Savage. The most popular of these cartridges was the .35 Remington, which offered superior performance on large game compared to the smaller calibers. It is the only cartridge developed for the Model 8 which is still widely produced today, and the in-game version uses a custom .35 Remington ammo type.
The original design fed from a 5-round, non-detachable box magazine, reloaded with stripper clips. However, several companies converted the rifles to accept detachable magazines. Magazine capacities of up to 15 rounds were produced for police use. In fact, Texas Ranger Frank Hamer used a customized police model 8 with an extended magazine to ambush and kill Bonnie and Clyde on May 23, 1934. The rifle was also used to a limited extent in World War I by the French Air Force, in its stock configuration. The Model 8 was developed specifically as an autoloading hunting rifle for medium to large game, but it was later marketed to military and police forces in the United States. Despite its power, speed, and high capacity, it was never adopted in large numbers due to its high cost and complicated action.
Several variants of the Remington Model 8 were made. The rifle was sold in Europe under the FN name, with some parts slightly modified. In 1936, Remington improved the design to the Model 81 Woodsmaster, which had a curved rifle grip, and a longer forearm.
The gun is balanced in-game to be approximately the same as the .308 battle rifle, but with a larger magazine capacity when modded with the extended mags and a higher critical chance and critical damage. The unique variant, Libra Justitia, has a custom scripted effect attached to it which makes it do 3x damage to human NPCs who have evil karma or are part of criminal factions such as the powder gangers, freeside thugs, etc.
This mod was calibrated to work best with vanilla animations but animation packs work fairly well too.
