Thank you kindly sir... while I'm at it I went ahead and touched up the blufor burst rifle/SBR and the special shotgun since I felt they were lacking
In terms of progress, explosives are coming along nicely, the grenadier rifles fire grenades that can cause several effects on it's victims - a 'stun' effect, a deafening effect (works by purposefully breaking blockland's audio), and obviously damage with built-in brick obstruction
The leaf sights can now also be used. This isn't really how they work in real life, but each notch increment down represents ~256 bricks of distance, or four 64x plates, and is useful for approximate range-finding
oh yeah and
