The MP5 submachinegun lacks its front sight

It only has the cover ring over the barrel, the sight is missing. Looks a bit off.

The rest of the game is so extremely beautifully modeled and textured, I am hoping this can get fixed? Maybe as a patch or mod?

That little detail is so small that it doesn’t really matter either way. No ironsights in the game so I don’t think most people would care.

Some guns have ironsight!

Why are people bothered by such tiny details…

You mean the little pointy thingy in the front sight? That thing that no player ever looks at? I could understand if the sight in it’s entirety was missing, but that’s such a tiny thing I don’t see that as even worse fixing and recompiling the model.

The iron sight mechanics suck in Black Mesa anyway, it takes forever to zoom the .357 in and out, it’s way better in Smod. I’d like to see more iron sights in Black Mesa though, it’s safe to assume Gordon’s actually using sights when he’s shooting at anyone so why not

I always wondered why you couldn’t use the BM pistol’s ironsights as it, along with the revolver, doesn’t have a secondary fire mode. Oh well, its probably because of some balancing thing that I haven’t thought of yet :stuck_out_tongue:

The front sight is missing. The “little pointing thingy” is the front sight.

Using that MP5 normally would be like writing a letter with your eyes closed. It’s possible, but it’s going to be a sloppy mess. You can shoot it in the general direction of the enemy, but it won’t be easy to hit them.
