[Stalemate] XPAT-732
Stalemate is a weapon project derived from Frontlines and my multiple ancient Vanilla+ Weapons packs, basically just Frontlines with post-1945 weapon ‘power level’ with a new balancing scale. Not recommended for use with Frontlines as some guns may seem OP and some may seem weak, but you do you. This also lets me make whatever era I want.
Trying to not abandon another mod series! Don’t worry, Frontlines isn’t dead, I just want to make some cold war / modern stuff for a bit.

This mod contains the XPAT-732, an experimental Patriot prototype chambered in a higher powered .245 SWORD cartridge for better performance at all ranges. The .245 round has notably higher stopping power than the .223 used by the stock Patriot, a comparable velocity, and a lower drag bullet. These upsides come at a cost, with the XPAT-732 having quite high recoil and a slower fire rate than some other assault rifles, but the potential to go toe-to-toe with DMRs and battle rifles at mid range while still dominating in close quarters more than makes up for this. Just be careful if you’re going to try to use it like an idiot, it really doesn’t appreciate being hipfired.
Historical Section: This is based on a seemingly-testbed M16A1 converted to fire the 6mm SAW [XM732] cartridge, which was being developed as a potential replacement for both 5.56mm and 7.62mm NATO cartridges then in service. I saw it and fell in love immediately, so here it is now. From pics I looked at, it seemed to be notably longer receiver-wise than the M16A1, so this is reflected here. It’s almost an AR-10 at this point, lol. I made it into a kind of assault rifle-battle rifle hybrid because I thought that’d be fun, so you have the high close range damage of the RK-44 and a higher minimum damage than the Patriot’s max damage. Both of those guns are getting remade at some point too, don’t worry, their models are done already.

Thank you for reading this far. Join the server if you want, Stalemate is basically me finally putting frankly comically ancient models to work, and enjoying post-1945 guns in the process. Hope y’all enjoy it as much as I will. Sorry for hiatus, life’s been a bit rough recently, trying to get back on track.
