Replacement

[Homefry31464]

There are a lot of AK-47's and M16's that are better looking than the originals, so is there a way that I can replace the normal ones with the better ones?  How hard would this be to do?  Just a thought, and what would be needed to do this?

how exactly do you mean replacement, do you mean in the single player and campaign missions, or in your own created missions

The single-player and campaign, and all together.  Take a user-made M16 that replaces the BIS model.  I have seen this done with textures but not sure about using guns. Thats what I meant.

you'd have to de-pbo every mission and then edit the description.ext and replace the name "M16" with the name of the user m16 you want to use
same with the ammo

Jeez, thats alot of work. I though I could do this will config-files somehow.  I have seen islands that replace textures, so this isn't possible for guns, or even other things like airplanes, tanks, and helicopters?
