SPAR 6.5 mm Variant

Description
Love the SPAR-16 but think that 5.56x45 mm is too weak?

Then this addon is for you! This mod adds seperate variants of the SPAR-16 called SPAR-18 which use the NATO 6.5x39mm caseless cartridge. The SPAR-18 feeds from either the MX magazines (30Rnd and 100Rnd) or the new 25Rnd 6.5 mm STANAG magazine which resembles the normal 5.56 mm STANAG magazine for those who don't like the look of the MX mags.

Whether you want more stopping power, magazine compatibility or just a different look from the MX, the SPAR-18 is a fine addition to your 6.5 mm weapon roster. Just remember to use optics that are zeroed for the 6.5 mm cartridge. The ERCO which is usually used by the SPAR-16 will not have accurate range markers for the SPAR-18. Use the RCO or ARCO instead if you want to consistently hit targets at >400 m.


Content

- SPAR-18 (Assault Rifle)
- SPAR-18 GL (Assault Rifle with Grenade Launcher)
- SPAR-18S (Light Support Weapon)
- 25Rnd 6.5 mm STANAG Magazine with reload- and full tracer variants in red, green, yellow and white
- Custom inventory icons for all weapons and magazines

All weapons have black, sand and khaki variants just like the SPAR-16.


Compatibility

The SPAR-18 is able to take any 6.5 mm MX magazine added by other addons like the More Tracers Mod.


Language

The weapons are all translated to every available language of Arma 3, the magazines are only translated to English, French, Spanish and German, all other languages will default to English.


Weapon Statistics

The SPAR-18 shares most of its stats with the SPAR-16, although inertia, velocity and weight have been adjusted for the 6.5 chambering.
Mass Values in Units:
- SPAR-18: 95
- SPAR-18 GL: 115
- SPAR-18S: 115
- 25Rnd 6.5 mm STANAG: 8

That's it, I hope you have fun with this addon!

Thank you! That saves me from trying more combinations.

It has been some time since I worked on this stuff, but I pretty much tested any magazines with all weapons and many of them looked bad due to clipping and stuff - as far as i remember, the Promet magazines where just too big to look good in the SPAR magwell

Do you think the 6.5 mm 30Rnd Promet Mag will look good on the Spar?

No, it is a standalone weapon, doesnt replace anything
Mítia 5 Mar @ 7:58am 
Does this replaces the MX rifles in campaign?

I see, thanks for the explanation:steamthumbsup:

Unlikely, i dont really make mods for this game anymore - other than that, im not sure why one would need the spar-17 in 6.5mm, as the spar-18 from this mod already does that - if you want a marksman rifle, use the spar-18s as it also has a longer barrel and more accuracy, thats what i did when i used it

Is it possible we will be getting a spar-19 (spar-17 rechambered for 6.5mm) ?

The explanation is too long for a comment, i uploaded it here https://pastebin.com/t195FreC

hey man i really want to make the spar-18s to have 25 round mags by default. Could you point me in the right direction to learn how to do that?
