So I just watched the latest episode of Blabber Box (click |here to watch the episode) and I was very interested to see this feature. Apparently Combat Arms is adding what looks like a Golden Colt Revolver (early type). In addition, it looks like this new weapons modification system can turn the M1866 into a magazine fed weapon without a scope. Of course, such a feature could possibly ruin gameplay, but it gives Combat Arms an opportunity to boast about their customization system.

As a gun enthusiast, I would have to say I'm excited about this feature. In real life, soldiers customize their wepons if applicable. Changing gas systems, calibers, modifying receivers, etc. However, I'm worried that this will take away from the realism of the weapon. I mean, a shotgun that's belt-fed? Really? It is a distinct possibility that we could have people running around in real life with belt-fed Saigas, but an M4 Super 90?

What are your thoughts about this feature? Is it ridiculous or do you think it will help players come up with a more distinct playing style? I know I'm gonna convert my M416 CQB into an LMG if it serves the purpose or my SR-25 into a one shot wonder, that is of course, the feature works.
