Have any of you worked up stats for heavier weapons than the ones presented? Things like light machine Guns (M-249/Mk46, HK MG4, Negev LMG), medium/general purpose machine guns (M-240, Mk-48, M60/M603E0, single (M-203, HK M320, etc.), or multi-shot grenade launchers?
And if not, I may work up some up this weekend and post them here.

Feel free. There is a reason guns are treated the way they are in CO. It is an interesting story. When Bill was first setting the gun combat up he asked some people about things such as range, accuracy, damage etc... and found that even among experts it was very subjective. So he tried to stay very generic in the gun statistics, figuring the players would specify what sort of actual gun they were using if it interested them. As to the damage/range of heavier weapons as a generic group they are mentioned in the heavy weapons group. Tristam Mizak has worked on this some as well as heavier guns that would be mounted to vehicles. he also did some work on different styles/types of projectiles. He is at summer camp right now with the boy scouts--he is an adult leader--so I cannot ask him.
For those who are gun aficionados more detailed specs for specific guns are fun, but get ready for the arguments.

As far as game stats go, I'll stick with generic terms to keep it as close as possible to what's already been presented in the game. I'll try to get the stats typed up and posted here sometime over the next couple of days depending on how busy things are at work.
I'm looking forward to the update.
