If you experience difficulty with subscribing to this mod, or any of the mods do not function, follow this guide example Juniez's Classic Weapons Pack will work fine if you subscribe however the tau and shotgun models won't work without making a custom folder.

I got this idea somewhere around november but I stopped working on it because i lost motivation but in december Juniez released his long awaited pack and I knew I had to work on my mod because this was the perfect time.
A few tips:
1.If you have followed the guide and you still experience problems leave a comment on the specific mod or If u find a compatibility bug be sure to comment and I'll remove that conflicting mod.
2.If u want to keep notified of a specific mod be sure to click "Subscribe to thread" button in the comments
