Better ADR-97

Description
This Mod on Mod enhances BIS's official mod ADR-97 weapon pack.
You must have subscribed ADR-97 before downloading this mod.

Featuring: realistic naming, realistic weapon weight, more choices of ammo, and an improved reloading sound.

Realistic Naming

ADR-97 is heavily based on FN P90, and Bohemia cannot officially name it P90 since it is a trademark of FN company. So let this unoffical mod do the job.

The short-barrel ADR-97 are correctly renamed according to their real life counterpart: P90 STD and P90 TR, while the fictional long-barrel ones remain their 2035 sci-fi style names ADR-97.


Choices of Ammo

Replacing the vague concept of "certain" 5.7x28mm ammo, a whole vivid family of real world FN 5.7mm ammo are introduced, including SS190 AP rounds, L191 tracer rounds, SB193 Subsonic rounds, SS195LF Hollow Point rounds, SS196SR V-MAX Low Penetration rounds. Pick your tactical choice, officer!

The config file of this mod is written with love and care, which means no over-powered/stupid HEAPI ammo. Numbers have been carefully adjusted to reflect the authentic behavior of their real life counter parts as much as possible. Arma3 standard, yes!


Reloading Sound

By default, ADR-97 uses PDW-2000's reloading sound, which is pretty much flawed since the sound was't made for ADR-97's animation in the first place. This doesn't meet my standard.

New ADR-97 reloading sound in this mod is 100% synchonized with the animation, and a joy for ears to hear. (I'm not kidding on this one, lol)


Other Minor Changes

Weight of weapon is recalculated based on real life P90 data (2.99kg with ammo, that is).
Iron sight / built-in reflex sight zeroing changed from 300 meters to 100 meters. Why would an SMG need 300 meter zeroing?


Disclaimer

This mod runs on BIS's ADR-97 weapon pack, it won't work without it.
The creation of this mod has no connection to Bohemia Interactive or FNH company.
This mod follows APL-SA license.

The new reloading sound is remixed from Arma3 sound and free Internet sounds.

Enjoy!

Maybe it would help to read the damn description before asking stupid things...

The mod is signed but I do not see a key with the mod nor do I see a link to a key anywhere. Do you plan on adding the server key to the mod.

The ADR-97 is officially in Arma 3 now

you could improve the weapons sound to not "thump"/drop in the inital shot. It does not feel good in your ears

Nevermind, I'm observing magical weight gain with other weapons, even in the unimproved versions of the P(S)90.

Any chance you can add green and yellow tracer rounds?

I just downloaded this today and noticed something odd about how the weapon and its mags are weighed. When I load a fresh mag into the PS90, the weight of the mag is magically increased. The weight of the ammo you have is always factored when the game totals all of your equipment, even when some of that ammo is loaded into your weapon(s). I think that by weighing the gun as though it were loaded, you made an actually loaded version heavier than it's meant to be.

"while the fictional long-barrel ones remain their 2035 sci-fi style names ADR-97." Long-barrel P90s, or correctly called PS90s, are definitely not fictional. They are basically the civillian version of the P90. The US has many gun laws, that prohibit you having a barrel 16 inches or under, unless you have license. Its a big confusing thing put in to place, that doesn't make much sense.

Glad to hear that they did make a compat patch for adr. No reason this tiny mod on mod would break their patch.

Ace has compat files for the adr, didnt know if this would break them, is what i meant
