Concept art M4 (for AK)

Description
Mk 18 Mod 0 CQB-R with an Aimpoint CompM2 sight. The CQB-R (Close Quarter Battle - Receiver) is an upper receiver for the M4/M4A1 carbine with an even shorter barrel. This particular model is fitted with a KAC Free Float RAS and a Crane stock in addition to the M68 (CompM2) reflex sight.

Replaces the "AK-47" on Lt. Rocky's L4D1 animation port.

This skin solves two problems. First, it is an AR-15 rifle variant compiled for the AK slot, which isn't done very often. Second, it supplements my AK-74M: now you can have both rifles from the concept art/posters in your game. The gun appearing on the posters appears to be a short-barreled M4 with a Crane stock and a railed handguard, and the "M4A4" in Global Offensive appears to be the actual model used in those concept art pieces. The Aimpoint sight is borrowed from Twinke's HK416[gamebanana.com], refer to the link for the proper credit list. The reload animation is the slightly longer empty reload.

Constructive criticism is welcome. Think twice before posting complaints or suggestions.

There's one linked at the end of the description, on Insurgency anims. But I will definitely revisit this/these mod(s) and made alternative versions.

you probably dont take requests or inactive but is there a possibility you could make your own rendition of this mod but adding the concept m4 to the sg552 i already know theres one on the workshop but i got your concept mp5 i just wanna complete the set :3 hope the feedback helps even though its 3 years old :>

Shoot later. What's the problem?

early shooting, I can't look at how he still doesn't have time to pick up a machine gun and shooting is already starting, it hurts my eyes, but I can't find anything better to replace it

Opening up the covers isn't hard at all. Unless the texture is baked in a way that has static shadows or something.

In that case, if you want to keep them for consistency, then just see if you can find an Aimpoint model with them at least fully opened so they lie more flat on top of the optic. Personally I think changing it to a model without the lens covers would work best and isn't really taking too many liberties for accuracy but that's just me.

That is most likely. Considering the MP5 from the posters/concept arts seems to be based on a Tokyo Marui MP5 RAS model complete with an Aimpoint, the M4 might also be an airsoft gun they used for posing.

But I'm thinking closing the lens covers would get more complaints than keeping them open. Hm, might do that funny thing with the custom "addonModel" that has the stock collapsed and covers closed when it's on a Survivor's back...

Considering you can't ADS with it anyway, you could use also use an Aimpoint model that just has the lens covers closed. Yeah it'll look kinda weird. But *technically* it makes sense since your character doesn't use it, and it's more accurate to the posters.

For what its worth, I'm like 90% sure the posters that feature it are just edited versions of photos done for the game. In this case I guarantee you the people posing for the shoot just forgot to open the lens covers for the photo but it stuck when it came time for final editing.

An update is in progress, so that's a point of consideration. I specifically used a model with lens covers as they're seen on concept art images and posters, except closed.

This mod would be perfect if the lens covers were either removed or fully opened and laid flat on top of the scope. As it stands it just takes up a little more screen real estate then I would like. Otherwise good mod.
