CALIBR Compatible M1911s

Another fairly simple one, this was a departure from script-fixing, and into modding weapons.

I liked Brurpo's M1911 mod, but it was... lacking. the M1911 was in 10mm Auto only, which seemed a waste to me.

On a whim one sleepless night, I cracked the GECK open, and rewrote it to use the Community Ammunition Library - or CALIBR as it's more often called.

That done, I created some new versions of the pistol - in .45acp, 9x19mm, .357SIG, and .22LR. I also changed the base weights, as Brurpo had for some reason set it to eight pounds. I've handled a lot of 1911's over the years, but even a comped, red-dotted, mag-welled IPSC race rig rarely tops four pounds. Stock pistols tend to be about three, with a full mag.

I had wanted to add another variant in .40 Short and Weak, but that cartridge hasn't been added to CALIBR yet, and I didn't want to get into modding something else that day.

Added the pistols for sale from Moira Brown, and several in a stash hidden with the Victory Rifle.

It then occured to me that I needed the author's permission to upload my little improvement.

A PM sent, and the next day Brurpo kindly agreed to not only let me upload the modified version of his mod, but to include the meshes and textures too, for a standalone package.

Damn nice of him.

Like most of my other work, it doesn't seem to be extraordinarily popular, but then again I don't pimp my files all over the forums and web in general.

Screenshots were simple, and the lighting sucked. Blame the Rain and Snow weather mod I run.
