Actually Generic Weapon Names

Description
For people who want a serious weapon mod with serious generic weapon names and descriptions, maybe a small joke here and there but, always keeping things mature.

names are subject to change based on feedback!

@Sniper-san Ah, yes. I forgot to mention the descriptions. They are a good call, but you can do what you want with the mod. Above all else, though, you should get some additional screenshots in here. More screenshots for different weapons and classes, list some variety! It's important to show people what they're downloading before they go ahead and try it out.

"personal lore friendly" meaning, they dont have actual designated names and theres SEC (weapon type) and INS (weapon type)

theres actually custom descriptions for each item so you will know what the acronyms mean and they give information that can be "personal lore" friendly while still maintaining a semi-realistic name, i can easily go and make a new mod to change it to be super-generic and keep the descriptions (so theres a bit of background information)

I like the thought process behind this mod, but I believe the idea of the names being generic simply doesn't hit the kind of bell you wanted here.

The major weakness towards this would be the acronyms. Someone like me, who is well-versed with their firearms knowledge, will be able to understand the meanings behind most of these acronyms. We can come to the conclusion that something like "SEC LWC," means something along the lines of "Security Lightweight Carbine." Not everyone is well-versed in their firearms terminology, however. In fact, I'd bet good money that only a small fraction of the playerbase will be able to understand the names to their intended extent.

I would personally come up with names that are, and I don't mean to sound like an ass here, actually generic. Names that are easier to understand would be preferable, for the larger audience. If the acronyms are the intended result, I would personally use a different word in your title than "Generic."

Generic names would state what makes a weapon unique, or as a generalization unique to a given weapon. You would call the M16 a "Standard Rifle" or "Burst Rifle." You might call the M4A1 the "Assault Rifle." You might call the Mk18 the "Assault Carbine." The more unique weapons would be named what makes them special, such as the MP40 being called the "Recoilless SMG" or "Marksman's SMG." The shotguns would obviously be called shotguns.

In the end, however, this is your mod. This is your creation, and you are free to do whatever you want with it, just as I am free to do whatever I want with my mods. But you asked for feedback, so I figured I'd do just that. Hope I helped.
