Are there any plans to add in the Kord 6P50-1? As far as I know it's the only one-man-portable .50cal machinegun in usage, so it wouldn't break realism too badly so long as it recieves some massive malus for non-prone shooting, and it would definitely fill a role no other weapons currently fill (imagine what blindfiring half a box of 12.7mm AP's could do to a squad of Deidrana's elites taking cover in a shack). Plus, the caliber's already there, although it would require a different sized magazine.

Those are some very nice images for that pistol-carbine there. I don't really get the point of such a device, but I may just be crazy.
The Kord would be a very fun weapon to add, and it would finally allow me to live out my dream of the .50 caliber all-stars merc team: .50 Beowulf assaulters, .50 BMG sharpshooters, .50 AE sidearms, .50 Soviet support gunners. That is a joke, but it might just work.
I've been trying to keep eyes out for unusual or interesting weapons that don't call for exotic calibers or odd magazine sizes but haven't found anything good lately.
While not too unusual or exotic, there are some .45ACP pocket pistols, which might allow for a more potent sidearm than the Makarov for mercs who've devoted their entire kit to carrying... things that aren't pistols. Slim-grip models often hold 6+1 and could use the 7-round mag object. There's a Springfield XD derivative, or the Taurus Milennium .45, off the top of my head.
There are suppressors available for .50 Beowulf, but not surprisingly they're pretty monstrous.

This is the latest in 5.56 by La Rou.Kind of in the spirit of the Noveske rifles. Build by the specification of one of the biggest names in tactical carabines today. Reading through the reviews by proven combat instructors its quite light, accurate, easy to manage and as reliable (if not a bit more) as any AR15 gets.To me its quite worth to think about it, but its your mod. I am sorry, I don't know how to post a picture from my computer,so here is a link. Thanks and have a good day.

This si sjust an ida, but well here it goes.
Most of the calibers ingame are military loads, exception being a few crazy one off rounds like the .470 and hmm can't think of any, installs on another 'puter. For me this gets quite boring as the any hunter will be using Demilitarized rifles, Remington 700 and the sort. Essentially Iron sight Sniper rifles.
Exception to this would be the SKS and Mosin Nagant, commonly sporterized and rarely used in armies anymore. Well the talibans use the Mosin Nagant as a ten rupee Jezzail for solving 3000 pounds of education. Theoretically both of these could be availale at a low level in homesteads and farmhouses but that would mess up item progression since you would have fairly heavy ammo readily available for that one off AKM you snag from a knocked down bad guy.
The same goes for Nato calibre weapons, even though they are rarer outside of the US it's not unthinkable that a farmer keeps a 7.62nato to fend of cougars or bloodcats...
What i suggest is an arbitrar choice of a calibre that nowadays is solely used as a hunting round. First thing that comes to mind is the 6,5 swedish. Good ballistics, common in Europe and not in use by any army xcept for ceremonial purposes. Main point here is to only have it available in HP loads, hunting loads. Then add a few common guns in the calibre, disused service rifles and some CZ or other manufacturer. Preferably full stock to inhibit use of bipods.
Since HP rounds are close to useless from anything semi automatic after early game you wouldn't have that ready supply of ammo when you steal Johnny redshirts AKM.
I realize that this would tak some work but then it's just an idea. It would be extra fun to see something li this in merc gear choices, but i could probably change those my self, Making gear choices with civilian weapons far cheaper than those with military hardware.

I'm not really sure what you're getting at. In the current state, you will get stuff like SKS, M1Car, 5.56 bolt actions and Saiga rifles dropped in Omerta, along with Type 85, MP40, M3 and AK74U carbines. Mosins, Garands, 98's and Enfields will follow soon after (with decent odds of finding Brens, BARs and the legendary MG42 as well) AIMNAS works on a totally different progression than Vanilla and the SKS is indeed a progress 0 rifle.
The R710 in .30-06 is available in Ravens Kit btw, deathmachine would be a fitting description and unlike the SR-25 that is her top choice, you'll be able to keep it throughout the early game.

Im getting at that. All those calibres are used in auto-weapons. So the ammo if it's HP will be usefull against armored targets. Like a weapon cul de sac, instead of mini-14s and SKS you get a weapon with a calibre that can be common but not giving you any edge later in the game. Something that would be a rifle not just a sniper rifle in civilian clothes or an ancient service rifle. The word "hunter" in relation to the current line up in the rifle cathegory should be substituted with "survivalist" Lot's of service rifles, oddities, desniperized sniper rifles and carbines with auto turned off.

Dude! 20mm? you can't barely find room for a 12mm/50. caliber sniper. Where are you going to store the ammo? what on earth are you going to shot at with such beast?
You can kill just anything with a .408 or 30-06, why would you use a 20mm? it would be extremely high AP to shot, AP to raise and reload.
EDIT.- Smeagol, reeeeleeaseee the Krake... ehm... releasee the christmas version !! hahaha (pretty please)
