Howa Type 89 with Aimpoint (Desert Rifle)

Another raifuru from the rising sun anime land of Nihon. Based off my previous Type 89 port, this one's modified with a Type 89 exclusive Picatinny rail, fitted with an Aimpoint CompM2 and comes with it's standard bipod. This type of configuration is used by Japanese Self-Defence Force (JSDF) troops deployed to high risk environments.

Howa Type 89 5.56mm Assault Rifle ported from MMD, which is apparently from this Fallout Nexusmods[www.nexusmods.com].

Standard issue service rifle of the JSDF, the Howa Type 89 replaced the outdated Howa Type 64 battle rifle and was introduced into service in 1989, used exclusively only by the Japanese armed forces. The Type 89 is heavily based off the ArmaLite AR-18 design and features 4 different trigger groups: Safe, Semi, 3rnd Burst, Auto. Although unique style STANAG Magazines are issued with the Type 89 most distinctive by the bullet indicating peekholes on the left side, standard NATO issued STANAG Magazines used for the M16s can also be accepted, with the cost of the inability of the bolt locking back on an empty chamber.

- Replaces the SCAR-L Desert Rifle

- SureFire flashlight
- Aimpoint CompM2
- Insurgency AR firing and handling sounds
- arby26's animations (slightly modified origin)

*Note(s):
- Since the original Type 89 model by Michau2 utilises the standard NATO STANAG magazine, I've decided to use the magazine model from Soldier Front 2's Type 89 to more correctly reflect on the rifle's bolt catch feature.
- I won't be changing the firing selector from "Full-Auto" to "3 round Burst", due to how the textures of the rifle was made.
