Tactical counterparts to vanilla weapons.
There are a lot of really good weapon mods that add ALOT of guns into Rimworld. But I feel like they are a bit much and some feel cluttered and bloated.
So this is why I made this mod. Its a very lite addition in a form of upgraded versions of the most used guns in Rimworld. They fill the gap between industrial and spacer tech.
Tactical weapons are modern looking weapons with high quality internals and tactical attachments. They provide around 10-20% increase in aim time and reload speed with a 5% Increase of accuracy compared to their vanilla counterparts. There is around 20% increase in material costs and +1 crafting skill level requirement.

[b]Tactical assault rifle [/b]is a direct upgrade over the vanilla Assault Rifle. Instead of using the Vietnam era M16 model, it is based on a more modern HK 416 A5 used by special forces and navy seals.

[b]Tactical Marksman Rifle[/b] is a mix between the vanilla Bolt Action rifle and Sniper Rifle. Its fast firing semi auto rifle that has reduced accuracy (for some reason the vanilla Bolt Action Rifle is crazy accurate and using its stats as a base made the gun completely OP). Its perfect for engaging targets just beyond the assault rifle range when you don't need the extreme range of a sniper rifle. The model is based on the legendary MK14 mod 0.

Additional info & FAQ
-The weapons are balanced to not be overpowered yet still provide a noticeable performance increase. Pawns no longer feel like armed civilians but as skilled operators with their quicker reaction times.
-They can be crafted at the same benches that the vanilla counterparts and become unlocked at the same time.
-They use the same ammo and stats then vanilla counterparts, all the armor penetrations are the same. I tried to keep the changes minimal.
-Enemies will sometimes arrive with these weapons equipped when at the appropriate stage of the game.
-Randy dropped one of these in a random weapon drop... So I guess that can happen.
-Integrated patch for Muzzle Flash. [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917732219]https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917732219[/url]
-Safe to install on an existing save game. I had no issues uninstalling it either.
