Would love to see the classic handle style and triangular iron sights for the M4A1. I love playing the Prestige model of the weapon, but I think it needs an option to have these more accurate -to-life sights.

There's a drawing of an m4 with the carry handle iron sights on the quickmatch tab

jovial grotto
#

so the m4. which is not currently in game.

m4a1 is about a decade newer.

bold mural
#

oh wow

#

pretty irrelevant for the carrying handle...

jovial grotto
#

pretty relevant because the a1 generally does not have one.

bold mural
#

it can attach one...

jovial grotto
#

its a different model, would need knew attach points for the sights, so it might as well be a separate gun.

#

a way around it could be having the thing be a "sight" with a upper-sight being a standard scope. but that would honestly be more work than just making it seperate.

#

again you can attach an m16 style carry handle on an m4, via the rail

jovial grotto
#

yeah and that would fuck up the model in game

#

hence the "new" gun that has the carry handle.

#

wdym it attaches to the rail not the receiver

jovial grotto
#

what about other sights? the sights are supposed to be on top of said carry handle, you do know that right?

bold mural
#

you don't know what i'm talking about lol

#

i'm talking about the rail attachable and detachable carrying handle
you can just put it on the rail and take it off again, no need to put a rail for other optics on your carrying handle since you can just remove it

#

it works like anything else you put on your top rail exept for its dual purpose as the back part of the iron sights and being a carrying handle

#

it just looks like an m4 carrying handle if you will

#

Can we just get a m16 and end it there

bold mural
#

nuh uh, just the funny box sight

jovial grotto
#

how is that gonna work in game

#

oh yeah a new model for an m4, with different attach points.

bold mural
#

literally another iron sight model

jovial grotto
#

and that would be stupid and leave it mostly unused. make m4 model with it, and have attach points for sights, maybe new points for top mounted barrel attachments.

#

could finally separate the burst m4 and the FA m4a1.

#

how about, hear me out
a skin

#

could be a free one too

jovial grotto
#

and that wouldn't work cause weapon sights

rocky parcel
#

dude
how do you not understand how this works

jovial grotto
#

you are trying to get a skin for a weapon that has no carry handle, and have the skin havea carry handle which goes where the sights go.

#

I'm sorry you are to stupid to understand that would mean sights would be clipping and not able to be looked through.

#

It is possible but requires a lot of work just for a single skin

#

Its just not worth it

jovial grotto
next tartan
#

yeah

#

making it an attachment would be more sane then doing a big shooting in their own leg and make it work as a skin

#

and i love that on m4s and m16s

surreal lava
jovial grotto
#

what part of it would fuck up the sights do you not get?

gentle grotto
#

im assuming this would serve as an iron sight alternative

jovial grotto
#

that would be a waste of dev time for something not used at all.

#

making a "new" gun with the carry-handle built in would allow for sights to work and keep a classic look for those that want it. also allow the burst fire and full auto versions of the m4 be seperated.

#

yeah totally what carry handle sights are.

bold mural
#

yes that's what some ar15 carry handles are

jovial grotto
#

I swear you are being stupid on purpose at this point.

bold mural
#

I swear you are being stupid on purpose at this point.

#

do you not realize that there are attachable carry handles which can be interchanged with any other rail mounted sight
because they are mounted on the rail, they are "just funny looking irons"

jovial grotto
#

yeah in real life you moron

#

that will not work in game.

#

the sights are also raised and are not "on the rail" like you seem to think they are

#

which means if you try and use them your gun will be off.

bold mural
gentle grotto
#

the sights are leveled at different heights ig

jovial grotto
#

do you not know that carry handles are tall? and that the sights are on top of said carry handle?

gentle grotto
#

i wouldve figured a workaround is to adjust the camera height when ads or goof up the model

bold mural
jovial grotto
#

yeah on skyscraper mounts, not something that mounts other sights.

#

Tbh you would need to do a lot of coding shenanigans to add something like a carry handle with equipable optics
Like i said, prolly not worth it for just one gun

jovial grotto
#

it would just be like every other game, a model, with an equip point on the carry handle instead of the rail. especailly for something m16/m4 like it would hardly need much except moving the attachpoint higher.

gentle grotto
#

or just remove the carry handle when equipping an optic

jovial grotto
#

and that wouldn't be the classic look if its only irons anyway

#

so nobody would use it.

#

would take the same amount of work either way, except one is way more useful

bold mural
#

this entire suggestion is for irons omg

surreal lava
# jovial grotto yeah on skyscraper mounts, not something that mounts other sights.

I see where you're coming from, but I had envisioned a carry handle exclusively for the iron sights setting. As soon as you switch optics the handle would be removed the same way the current iron sights are. Now, you are right it would take up time that the devs could be working on other things that people would care more about, but that's why I threw it out there as a suggestion instead of dming them directly demanding for what I want. They can decide what they want and do not want to add to their game.

jovial grotto

at that point just make the model a different gun with the classic look. it would take the same amount of time as making the carry handle model anyway.
