In Response To: Working on enhancing item/weapon textures... (LegacyTyphoon)

A few corrections and tweaks:

: Pistol Ammo: .44 Mega Class
: Vacuum Enabled
: Teflon Covered
: 7 Round Clips

Vacuum enabled is redundant: more or less all modern ammunition is already vacuum capable. The magazines (not clips!) hold eight rounds each, and the ammuntion is generic .44 Magnum, though you can probably keep the teflon coating reference since that exists but isn't a standard feature.

: AR Ammunition: .75 Rifle
: High Velocity
: 52 Round Clips

The caliber isn't .75; that's neither practical nor physically plausible, and given its weak performance I wouldn't call it high velocity either. Better call it "7.5x37mm UESC" or some such.

: SMG Ammunition: 4x10mm Flechette
: Sabot Rounds
: 35 Round Clips

Caliber would be 10x25mm or some such; I'd call it "10x25mm discarding sabot flechette".

: On the guns - Engraved text on barrels
: Pistol: .44 MAGNUM MEGA CLASS SEMI-AUTOMATIC

A more realistic rendering would be something like "MEGA CLASS -- .44 MAGNUM".

: AR: MA-75B BATTLE RIFLE
: Grenade Launcher: 40MM GRENADE LAUNCHER

Assault rifle, not battle rifle. Real assault rifles don't have" assault rifle" stamped on them, so just put "MA-75B -- cal 7.5x37". The reference you're thinking of is the "mighty M1A2 BR", wich never appeared outside the Marathon Infinity manual. I question the grenade launcher being 40mm; it would be hard to fit seven rounds into a cylinder and still be able to carry it. 25mm would be better.

: SMG: KKV-7 10MM FLECHETTE SUBMACHINEGUN

Again, lose the submachine gun part; it's redundant.

: on the back of the shells and grenade shells
: Pistol Shells: .44 HV TEFLON ROUND

Teflon rounds don't require special brass and .44 is a high velocity round by default, so call it something like "ACME ARMS -- .44 REM MAGNUM".

: AR Shells: .75 HV ROUND

See above regarding the MA-75 ammo. I suggest "ACME ARMS -- 7.5x37mm".

: SMG Shells: 4x10MM SABOT

Ditto. "ACME ARMS -- 10MM AUTO".

: Grenade shells: - Seen on the in-hand model of the AR
: 40MM HE SHRAPNEL

"25mm HE-DP" is more realistic.

Sorry if I sound a little harsh, but I'm a stickler for accuracy.
