I think my favorite 6.5 is ACE's version of Creedmoor, but unfortunately there aren't enough guns for it.

Not planning any reuploads, personal use only

No problem, as long as you dont reupload it

I hope you won't have a problem to this, modified this weapon a little bit, increased velocity to 1000 m/s and added compatibility with SPAR-18 and MX magazines
Barteg 14 Jul, 2022 @ 12:13pm 
Yeah sure I will just copy it, no problem man, just a suggestion
Neonex  [author] 14 Jul, 2022 @ 12:07pm 
I can put it on my project list, but I cant garantee it ever happening. I barely have time to mod at all lately since I started work and other life stuff, and the idea list is already pretty full. Id recommend putting it into the suggestions thread on the all in one mod page please! that way I can see it more easily

Alright I have um, rethinked it a little
How about a 5.56 Mk-I EMR ? Same velocity, same accuracy, less recoil, maybe a 30 round mag or stick to the 25 rnd, a little lighter. (It would not be OP, 5.56 negates that instantly)
Why ?
You know the Mk-12 SPR, a DMR based on the M16, something like that.
Why ? For some close range infantry support it is nice to have

I am not trying anymore these are not the best ideas
Barteg 14 Jul, 2022 @ 5:39am 
nah nvm
Barteg 14 Jul, 2022 @ 5:39am 
And how about just an extended mag for MAR ?
Neonex  [author] 14 Jul, 2022 @ 5:37am 
That would be incredibly OP
It would literally be an assault rifle but with sniper-level accuracy and velocity
And making a .338 chambered weapon into 6,5mm is also a bit too far fetched, the setup of the entire weapon wouldnt make sense visually
Barteg 14 Jul, 2022 @ 5:35am 
Alright so something more creative here
MAR-10
25 rnd Mag (keep the default one or modify if u want)
Enabled Full auto
6.5x39mm
Recoil Slightly stronger than the MXM
990 m/s (little higher than CMR-76)
Keep accuracy the same (0.00044 rad)
Weight 220 ? 200 ? something like that

Why ?
Well MXM is not very decent counterpart to CMR-76 (yes I have been scrolling through weapons)
So an underpowered MAR-10, with less range but less recoil as well, perfect for jungle fighting

Sorry for being annoying, I just need some decent, long range, high performance weapon for NATO, making scenarios so ye

np
Barteg 14 Jul, 2022 @ 4:57am 
Aight
Neonex  [author] 14 Jul, 2022 @ 4:56am 
I really appreciate your thoughts on this, but I have to admit that changing the muzzle velocity by 20 m/s will barely affect gameplay at all and is not really worth the work for me, sorry
but still, thanks for taking the time to discuss!
Barteg 14 Jul, 2022 @ 4:47am 
But this would not make the weapon OP, the 6.5 reduces the damage and impact, that is what reduces its power, but still the Mk-1 at least imo deserves the highest ballistic performance, it is the heaviest and has most aiming interia, and Bohemia made it the best on long ranges from all 7.62 DMRs, so I think it would not make it overpowered to have the highest muzzle velocity
Barteg 14 Jul, 2022 @ 4:44am 
Yeah I know
Neonex  [author] 14 Jul, 2022 @ 4:43am 
I measured it by looks, comparing the size of the weapons; Its been a long time since Ive done this one, so I dont exactly remember what I was going for; However, I do remember that I wanted to keep this weapon not too OP, since it already has way better accuracy at range than the MXM and Mk18, so I think its a fair drawback
Barteg 14 Jul, 2022 @ 4:42am 
Here a text from the wiki
"Thanks to its longer barrel, the MXM retains the highest muzzle velocity out of all the MX variants: an impressive 920 m/s in contrast to the baseline MX's 800 or even the MXC's meagre 720."
Barteg 14 Jul, 2022 @ 4:38am 
They have same barrel length ? I thought MXM was longer, and the MXM shoots a bullet at 920 m/s
And the MK18 has same barrel length as the Mk-1 ? Just asking never measured it
Neonex  [author] 14 Jul, 2022 @ 3:54am 
I based it all around barrel lenght! The MXM has the same barrel lenght as the Mk-I and that also shoots at 940 m/s, therefore it made sense to me that a weapon with the same barrel lenght and same bullet would also fly just as fast! I understand your point but Id like to keep it this way for realism :steamthumbsup:
Barteg 14 Jul, 2022 @ 1:21am 
Also, do you mind increasing muzzle velocity a little ? Like to 960 m/s
940 m/s is a base velocity for Mk-I EMR in 7.62 so it would be nice if it was a little higher
Barteg 13 Jul, 2022 @ 1:51pm 
Alright
Neonex  [author] 13 Jul, 2022 @ 1:21pm 
I dont really see that necessary, I already have a 6,5 SPAR-16! If you use the LSW variant of that, you pretty much already have a 6,5 mm SPAR-based long range weapon
a SPAR-17 in 6,5 would just be a copy of that with a different model
Barteg 13 Jul, 2022 @ 12:26pm 
Also, mind making a 6.5 SPAR-17 ?
Barteg 13 Jul, 2022 @ 12:20pm 
I will just be honest, I prefer these simple ones much more than like RHS or CUP, it is what I need
Neonex  [author] 13 Jul, 2022 @ 10:43am 
Thanks for the feedback!
Barteg 13 Jul, 2022 @ 8:24am 
Exactly what I needed 6.5 Mk-I EMR, thank you so much for making this, weapon feels great, and can be used at all ranges.
