Katiba 5.56 mm Variant

Description
A Variant In The Real Caliber

This mod adds seperate variants of the Katiba rifles called Kaydah which are chambered in 5.56x45 mm, just like the real KH2002 that the Katiba is based on. Included are all three variants, which weigh a bit less than the 6.5 mm counterpart, have higher muzzle velocity, but do less damage because of the smaller cartridge. Also included are 6 new magazines: 20 Round 5.56 mags to use with the Kaydah since the Katiba model does not support MagProxies.

Content

- Kaydah (Assault Rifle)
- Kaydah Carbine (Carbine)
- Kaydah GL (Assault Rifle with Grenade Launcher)
- 20Rnd 5.56 mm Magazine (Red, Green and Yellow Tracer Variants, full and last-round Tracers)

Compatibility

The Kaydah rifles can take any vanilla or CBA compatible 5.56x45 mm STANAG magazines, but not drums. However, they will all show as normal Katiba magazines on the model since the Katiba does not support Magazine Proxy functionality. As for attachments, some mods will work, some don't, I may add more compatiblity in the future (RHS works!). The 20Rnd 5.56 Magazines can be used with other 5.56 weapons too but will use the model of 30Rnd magazines.

Language

All weapons are translated to every available language of Arma 3.

Weapon Statistics

Recoil, mass and muzzle velocity has been changed to reflect the 5.56 mm cartridge. Recoil has been reduced a bit, mass and muzzle velocity values:
- Kaydah: 90 Units, 930 m/s
- Kaydah Carbine: 70 Units, 860 m/s
- Kaydah GL: 110 Units, 930 m/s

I have occasional arma phases, but i rarely do modding anymore - but thanks for the interest!

Hi Neonex, Are you still into Arma? I was wondering if you could rechamber the Type115 to accept 5.56 AP rounds from Reaction Forces.

Thats on ACE then, probably because ACE reduces the weight of the vanilla Katiba. Im not sure how I would make that compatible so it will probably stay this way :/

Sorry I should clarify that in ACE it weighs more than the 6.5 Katiba. The normal katiba weighs 8.10 lb and the 5.56 variant weighs 9.00 lb

The vanilla Katiba weighs 100 Units, this 5.56 one weighs 90. Its lighter!

Why does this mod make the weapon heavier?

Yeah, that's a shame, I was never a fan of the stick mags. Well, thanks for looking into it and keep doing what you're doing!

MX is really bad when it comes to clipping, not a single other magazine fits right into it. Quite a shame, I really wanted to make a 5.56 MX, but the magazine well is just way too small for any other magazine.
As for the LMGs, those can be made, but the belts will still show the old ammunition (so the Mk200 will still show caseless 6.5 rounds, but throw out 5.56 casings) but its still possible. I'll put it on my list!

That's a pretty welcome addition ngl :D

Glad to see you're back at it and this is certainly a welcome addition! Just curious would the MX series be able to use Promet mags or would there be clipping? Also, would you be able to do the MK200 and Zafir in 5.56? Thanks again for these mods!
