// WEAPON SYSTEMS — Mods, Attachments, Evolution
Weapons don’t just appear out of thin air. They evolve on two fronts:
WORLD EVENTS
A seized shipment, a captured cache, or a manufacturer rolling out a new variant — that’s how new hardware enters the fight. Always logical, always within reach of the era.
GUNSMITH GROWTH
They’re not menus, they’re people. Gunsmiths are operators in their own right. The more jobs they log, the more pathways open — better cuts, refinements, custom builds. Other specialists — mechanics, medics — grow the same way: by doing the work.
MODS & ATTACHMENTS
Optics and grips can be swapped in the field — if the operator’s got the tool and the skill.
Deeper work (barrels, tuning, full conversions) happens back at the bench.
This mirrors real life: PMCs and front-line teams adapt gear by skill and circumstance — not “magic unlocks.”
A carbine might stay stock… or edge toward an LVOC-style build as events and skill push it forward.
