M136 Launcher is legitimate. However if it's anything else I suggest you don't take them.

I'm going to ask for screenshots, Sir.

rocket has said you wont get banned for using weapons that are hacked in. Only for actually hacking do you get banned

Can you verify that?

You won't get banned for USING weapons.. for a simply reason: there's no (official) way to determine if a weapon is hacked or not:

1) Being in game doesn't mean that it's legit. In example a cheater can spawn a L85A2.. it's a regular weapon, but he hacked it!

2) Nor anyone knows about the weapons in the mod. An example is this same thread: the op believed the M136 wasn't in the game, while in fact it is (it can happens the opposite).

There's then an high risk of banning some unaware people for something that they cannot know. But if you being caught with hacked weapons everyday... well then there must be something smelly and it would be better to investigate.
