Promet 5.56

Just say "nie!" to magic caseless ammunition!

If you are among those who dislike futuristic caseless ammunition of Arma 3, or you simply want to equip Livonian soldiers with a more contemporary weapon, this addon is for you. It features a Promet rifle variants chambered in today's standard 5.56x45 mm ammunition. Promet 5.56 comes with it's own magazine model (BI own unused creation, left in Contact DLC pbos), however it can also be fed from standard 5.56 mags used by other vanilla weapons of this chambering (with exception of 150 round drums for SPAR-16S - however with optional CBA compatibility file you can load 60 round stack mags from other mods).

Content:
- 33 classes of Promet in 5.56 mm NATO chambering equivalent to original BI classes, including 16 base classes (4 color variants of 4 Promet types each) and 17 classes with accessories, hidden in Virtual Arsenal (classnames of every weapon are almost indentical to BI classnames, with "MSBS65" being replaced by "MSBS556");
- 7 new Promet 5.56 magazines including tracer and reload tracer mags in three vanilla colors (yellow, green, red) - see changelog for full list;
- optional CBA Joint Rail and magazines compatibility (move two files from "@KrzyPromet556\Optional" to "@KrzyPromet556\Addons", requires CBA for Arma 3).

Known issues:
- 5.56 mags (both Promet and STANAG) are slightly misplaced due to the difference between proxy position of 5.56 and 6.5 mags, sadly nothing I can fix without having access to MLODs;
- for some reason 5.56 suppressors mounted on Promet MR will appear off-axis, again something I can't really fix without BI releasing MLODs;
- it's still a bullpup, jeez there's like 87 bullpups in vanilla game, I'd love to have a conventional Promet variant (dear BI, gimme MLODs, pls, r u there?).
