The change affects:

  • MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun
  • FRV-mounted machine gun
  • Bastion-mounted machine gun
All affected weapons receive the APW-1 projectile’s damage, ballistics, and impact effects.

Projectile changes​

  • Standard damage: 150 → 450
  • Durable damage: 35 → 225
  • Demolition force: 15 → 20
  • Push force: 20 → 25
  • Stagger: remains 25
  • Projectile velocity: 980 → 880 m/s
  • Armor penetration: remains level 4
  • Uses the APW-1 projectile’s impact effects and visual effects
Despite the EIT designation, this replacement does not add an explosive blast, incendiary status effect, or area-of-effect damage. Its main advantages are the much higher direct and durable damage of the APW-1 round.

Preserved weapon characteristics​

The mod changes the shared projectile record rather than copying the entire APW-1 weapon. Each affected weapon therefore keeps its original:

  • Model and animations
  • Magazine capacity and ammunition count
  • Rate of fire
  • Reload duration and behavior
  • Recoil and handling
  • Firing modes
  • Muzzle flash and firing sound
For the MG-206, this means retaining its 100-round magazine, 450/600/750 RPM settings, and normal heavy-machine-gun handling while gaining the APW-1’s considerably stronger projectile.

Requirements​

Requires Bingus Shared Loader v15 or newer / API 1. Install both the mod and Shared Loader through Arsenal or HD2MM, enable them, keep Shared Loader at winning priority, then purge and deploy.

Credits​

Special thanks to Estelle233, whose Eruptor Shells for the JAR-5 Dominator mod provided the reference technique used to create this ammunition replacement.

Additional thanks to CowboyBingus for his amazing modding work and for making the game fun again.

First off, based.


Second off, does that mean the MG43 would get affected as well when you modify the Maxigun? Because that would make MG43 users eat good.
The MG-43 uses 8x60mm FULL METAL JACKET P1, while the M-1000 Maxigun uses 8x60mm HIGH VELOCITY P.

One improvemente would be replacing the maxigun ammo by the one used by MG-43, so the MG-43 would not get any changes.

Summarized:

80 → 90 damage
18 → 23 durable damage
15 → 20 stagger


This is a small change compared to the HMG - AMR from this mod.

BUT: there are better candidates: explosive and incendiary :)

I'm all down. Just make them all feel good to use. MGs these days are crept over by vastly superior options anyway.

It's a pity. All I wanted was to become stronger with a gun, without affecting anything else. It turns out I had no choice.

Is it possible to give the Bastion tank a wider range of motion when turning the gun barrel?
