Model Suggestion SG 553 and / or SG 553R

[Bnjemann]

Suggestion Title: SG 553 and / or SG 553R
Suggestion Description: Adding one of, or both of these new rifles to PERP:
- Sig Sauer SG 553
- Sig Sauer SG 553R

Both rifles can be made using the existing animations and models for the SG 550.

The SG 553 is the carbine version of the SG 550.

Similar to how the M4A1 is the smaller, full auto version of the M16, the SG 553 should fill this gap.

The issue I see with adding the 5.56 version is however, is that the majority of assault rifles on PERP are 5.56 and thus would be hard to differentiate it from existing rifles. Alternatively, to differentiate the weapon from the existing 5.56 rifles, the SG 553-R could be chosen, which is takes 7.62x39mm ammunition fed from standard AK47 platform magazines, which already exist in game.

The stock the weapon takes could just be the SG 550 stock seeing as they’re the same, and if the 5.56 version is added, the magazine from the existing SG 550 could be used.



Why should this be added?:
- A popular weapon platform for video games and in real life.
- Could revive interest in the SG 550 rifle, if people are accustomed to a full auto version of it.
- If implemented with viable statistics it could shift the meta a bit in regards to people just using AK101s or SCARs only.

What negatives could this have?:
- modelling and development time for the chance to revive what is a dead weapon platform on perp.
SG553-R (7.62x39mm)


SG553 (kommando) (5.56x45mm)

Also add the Vudu scope

Why would someone use any other gun when they can use ak-47 or ak-101 and maybe g3 if you are rich

The SG 550 will always stay my favorite rifle because IN THE GOLDEN OLD DAYS where burst fire was actually useful and not something completely useless. It needs a drastic change but never got one when I hopped on the test server as the recoil was fine on a small dev map with 3 players...
It needs some sort of re-balance because as of now it's just useless but I guess that's for an entirely different thread. If Lelios is this familiar with weapon models already it would be a nice task.

Also maybe give it a different texture because the 2nd picture makes it looks beautiful.
