'NOTICE: This is only a suggestion and is not even considered to be completely official. It is unlikely that a game-mode such as this will likely even be in the game at all. TL;DR is NOT included in this discussion!'

Howdy ladies and gentlemen - and yes, this is another weapon suggestion that would be around for a returning weapon. Around in the Old R2D, the M1 Garand was one of the decent starting weapons for a survivor to start out with - which also determined their sniping capabilities, mostly due to it requiring aim and precision.

BACKGROUND STORY
For R-Brain Hardwork's success on a few variety of high quality sniper rifles, there were also the downsides which were generally the prices itself. Some survivors would see this as something that they can not cope with the high amount of competition to get their good earnings and seek the desired weapons they only dream of; To which L-Brain Sidework decides on rounding some materials and supplies to begin crafting their next weapon for the more 'standardized and affordable' market.

L-Brain Sidework would soon reintroduce the M1 Garand with very minimal resources placed to lower the costs, while being easy to be mass produced on a large scale - with the only drawback to it's firepower and range. To solve this, L-Brain and R-Brain would to a collaberation towards producing some attachments for the M1 Garand's ammunition and a mounted optic sight - each seperate attachment at a hefty price.

SUMMARY
The M1 Garand (which is pronounced /ˈɡærənd/ to rhyme with errand) is a decent weapon for a beginning survivor - depending if they have good aim. Sharing similar characteristics to the Dragunov, the M1 Garand has a better ammo count & reliable firing rate but lacks the firepower, accuracy and the distance without the attachments equipped.

Headshots would be most crucial to kill your targets effectively without wasting ammunition. Until getting an upgrade to your bullets, it would better your chances to get more effective kills. If preferring to use it as a sniper, it is recommended to purchase the Scope to increase range and add more accuracy.

TRIVIA

 * Originally, the model was made by superduperawesomebro.
 * Improvements to it's shape and to look smooth and realistic was done in Blender, with minor changes to the original design.
 * Skins ARE suitable for the weapon.
 * For which would suit the weapon is uncertain - for which would be left to PlaceRebuilder if he even accepts the weapon suggestion to begin with.
 * Due to the limit of Meshes (5000 total), the total meshes for the gun is 6.

QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY BE CONCERNED WITH
Why Are The Attachments Expensive For A Low Rank Weapon?

(A) - For a weapon as this, this would act as sort of a Low/Mid ranking weapon - meaning thast this weapon can be flexable on useage at anytime. While the weapon has very low damage, it makes up for the ammo and clips you carry. As you get better and get the cash, would buying these attachments show a great difference in your performance and survival.

Will The Rifle Bullets Attachment Be Excluded In FFA/TDM Battles/Servers?

(A) - While it does show some concerns for killing a target faster, it may be succeptible for TDM-Based gameplay while FFA would have armors that would sponge the damage. The Barret or any other powerful weapons are you more concerning weapons to deal with than this, but it is hard to tell since it has to be tested out In-Game to show it's results on what can be acceptable or not.

 Is It Required To Read Everything?

(A) - If you are a TL;DRer, basically read the statistics and state your opinions. The added info/lore is to just show more detail into my suggestions since InfiniteBread has added them as a 'recommendation' to better suggestion posts.

Why Would You Suggest This Weapon?

(A) - Back in the second version - the R2D that we all grew on, My very first weapon (besides the revolver) was the M1 Garand. It was a basic, simple to use rifle that requires proper aiming and a Tier I of the Sniper Varients of weapons. It was my favorite weapon at the time and quite balanced. I do not think adding it back would shift the balance between the Dragunov and the Garand, as the Garand itself is unique to adapt and change with the survivor to better the odds. Some of the old weapons have made a return with fantastic - and cursing results, soo... why can't the M1 Garand too?

And that concludes the Discussion.

But hey, this is only a suggestion! So if it does get accepted, do not take the stats listed here as fact - as they are succeptible to change by the owner's decision.

Hopefully you guys like my suggestion - a different approach on how I do them now.

Feel free to leave a kudo - either by love or liberty - I am not forcing you to like this.
