Yeah, I’m sure that’s the thing that would make the least sense, in Half Life. 
Gee, I mean monsters coming from another planet, a scientist slaughtering hundreds of marines who themselves were slaughtering American civilians, okay, but ON TOP OF THAT, you’d have an M16 use 9mm ammunition?
I mean we have to set a limit on how unrealistic a game can be…
There actually is a difference.
You KNOW an M16 doesn’t use 9mm ammunition. You DON’T know that scientists won’t accidentally tear a hole into another universe and let weird Extra terrestrials through to our world. I’m not saying expect that to ever happen, but part of the game is suspension of disbelief, and small details that are realistic like that, or bigger ones, like having the level design make sense and not just be there for you to fight in, help lend to that.
It is all about suspension of disbelief. An M16 is grounded in reality - it is a real object, with very strictly defined characteristics. A Resonance cascade is not. As a result, we can get away with a lot more when it comes to a RC than we can with an M16
it is why in many sci fi shows, people are fine with energy shields (for example) but complain when someone connects up a car battery incorrectly (for example), which is completely fair.

I didn’t know that. I’m sorry if I don’t come from a gun-loving country where I can buy assault riffle ammunition at Walmart.
(in Canada)
I’m Canadian and even I knew that.
Also it seems like common sense, why would a rifle fire the same kind of bullet as a pistol?
Just so you know, Walmart doesn’t sell guns or ammo. Although I’m not sure about the ones in Texas.
But really, think about it for 5 seconds. A pistol uses relatively low caliber bullets because it’s so small. An assault rifle is designed to be much more powerful, and thus would need much bigger bullets.
same here. I never accepted the hd textures for HL. they changed the feeling of the game too much for me.
actually i think it was a glock in the original and became a beretta with the hd pack…
This.

Depends on the version of the M16, you can get an M16 that takes the 9 x 19mm Parabellum cartridges which is the same that Glock takes, and Glocks take just about every type of magazine that uses the same cartridge. So you could take an MP5 mag or a even the M16 9mm magazine and out it in a Glock and vice versa.
Although extremely uncommon within the Marine Corps, Colt 9mm AR15 SMGs have technically been issued to MSG and FAST companies in the past. So it isn’t that much of a stretch of the imagination for a fictional covert Marine Corps unit to use them, though it would be very unlikely.
Guns look fine, they are not hideous, Jesus way to go overboard. Best part of source is modding. Someone will make replacements if you really must have them…
I do agree, Xyos, the current weapons look great and people shouldn’t expect the BMS team to start adding additional versions of the same weapons and that the skinning community will have to be expected to do that. I was just clarifying something for Bloodshot.
Yes, I am aware that AR-15 SMG models exist. The problem is, they look incredibly stupid.

Indeed
but the hound eyes were never meant to be dangerous enemies. it seems that most of the stuff mod creators did was useless changes to combat mechanics to make it more difficult. crowbar got downgraded, pistol got downgraded, revolver stayed the same which I’m happy with, and the m16 got downgraded… what was the point of re-building fundamental half-life game play? its not faithful to the original or the second.
don’t get me wrong i want changes, in fact the stuff that’s been additions over existing game play has been great, the proper 02 counter, sprint, ADS, crowbar now properly hitting head crabs in the air. but i just cant stand how much the base mechanics have been changed, i wanted to play half-life not a different game. the new level areas alone make it different and interesting enough
So instead of the game making its own mark on the series by improving things in the devs’s visions, it should have blindly parroted the exact mechanics of the original for better or worse? BRB, making the Hivehand entirely mediocre, making Houndeyes wastes of dev time again and making grenades stick to the patch of ground they landed on.
Half-Life still exists. If you want to play Half-Life, go play Half-Life. And if you aren’t happy about Black Mesa, you can go change a lot of stuff yourself.
Guess what? He can’t.
are you fucking serious
^This.
He can barely hit you with the MP5 too. I just tested it. One bullet per every 3 to 5 bursts will hit you, and on Hard that translates to 1 damage + 4 suit points per bullet.
YOUR MP5 is actually more accurate than that. So at range you have the upper hand in every possible way.
