------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE GUN:

The M4/M4A1 5.56mm Carbine is a lightweight, gas operated, air cooled, magazine fed, selective rate, shoulder fired weapon with a collapsible stock. A shortened variant of the M16A2 rifle, the M4 provides the individual soldier operating in close quarters the capability to engage targets at extended range with accurate, lethal fire. The M4 Carbine achieves over 80% commonality with the M16A2 Rifle and will replace all M3 .45 caliber submachine guns and selected M9 pistols and M16 rifle series.
(from www.fas.org)

The sound suppressor is the "m4", standard equippment of the SOCOM M4A1's. It reduces the noise level by 30 dB!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE MAKING OF THE GUN:

For this updated version of the M4A1 and its sub versions I used the MLOD model of the previous M4A1 Pack1 release! A lot of details were added so keep in mind that this models are now even more hardware consuming!


The silencer model (only the highest quality one) is taken from "Commando M4A1" model for Counter-Strike. Author unknown!

Most textures I used have been found on the internet and I have no information about their origins! If anybody knows who's the author of this textures, please contact me ASAP!

If I somehow forgot to mention someone or something and you think it should be mentioned, please send me an e-mail:)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUTURE MODs/ADDONs:

I'm doing my best to finish the other M4A1 sub-versions I promised after the BETA release of this pack! There will be 3+1 packs in total=> 3x12 M4A1 versions + some special M4 variants.

- Pack 1 is that ZIP archive you got this readme.txt from :)
- Pack 2 will be built arround the M4A1 with M68 Aimpoint reflex scope. 
- Pack 3 will feature the M4A1 with ACOG (Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight) scope - Trijicon "TAO1" 4x32 ACOG.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION:

Copy FLP_M4A1.pbo into your ..\OperationFlashpoint\Res\AddOns\ folder, overwriting the old file!
The new units will be under West forces!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN BUGS:

This is the "Resistance only" version (V.2.0), that has the famous "MUZZLE FLASH BUG" solved and should be free of any bugs! :-P
