MK16 - Legal?

[PricelineNegotiator (DayZ) 25]

Found an MK16 HOLO on a guy, is this a legal gun?

Edit: The gun had an icon, so I am assuming it to be legal for the time being.

None of the guns in this game have red dot or EOTech sights, other then AK074 Kobra and the M4A1 HWS M203. Not legit.

How do we know it wasn't added as of 1.7.0 or with the crashed helo spawns?

This "no icon" stuff has to stop. ARMA has a ton of guns in it by default and all of them have icons. This is not an effective metric for whether a gun is supposed to be included in the mod.

The "no icon" thing was a reference to people giving themselves vehicle mounted or static weapons like the GAU8, M2, or Mk19, which do not have icons because they were never meant to be equippable.

Given that the available loot tables are, I assume, taken straight out of the mod's scripts, they are almost certainly 100% accurate as to what is supposed to spawn. If that's not how they are being built, then I am probably wrong, although I have no idea why they would do it any other way.

I found an M14 AIM and an M4A3 CCO which both come with a red dot thingy

Now, I could have sworn it's a very rare weapon in the game. After digging around in the PBO's I've found some .txt files categorizing the weapons as legendary loot. I've heard somethings about the MK in the inventory, perhaps I should dig around a little more and see whats to come?

Did a quick search through the config.cpp and didn't find any references to SCARs at all.

The Weapons.txt which does contain references to SCARs looks like some kind of to do list or reference or something.

So yeah, you should probably ditch the Mk16.

Those are also both legit weapons.

So far there are no legitimate M16 rifles with optics other than the ACOG, which is not a red dot style optic.

Ok this is a link to a list of every weapon that spawns in the game. I am super lazy and pasted them in the order I copied them from the config.

There, no one has to argue over what spawns and what doesn't anymore.
