About this mod Author’s original text

Auto-Ordnance M1A3 Para Thompson

What if the war rages on? What if the airbourne needed more firepower in a more compact package?

Introducing the M1A3 Para Thompson, the actual M1 Thompson is now downscaled and with a few tweaks, is now shortened and more usable in tight spaces, especially to be used by Paratroopers ready to jump into Operation Downfall.

Only usable with stick mag (You can use drum mags too since Anton makes no distinction on the mag types), the collapsing stock as well as repositoned mag well will make this gun scream in high rate of fire.

The fire selector makes it awkward to operate, requiring the user to switch it with their hand, gone are the complicated selector switches as it now goes on either safe or full auto.

There is a hidden rail on the top of the receiver as well as the foregrip area, in case you want to change into something more modern looking.

Features

  • M1A3 Para Thompson, a weapon for the true paratroopers!
  • Compact and small, watch out for its high rate of fire!
  • Selector switch has to be turn on manually by pressing it with your controller (think L85 or QBZ95)
  • Has hidden rail at the top and near the foregrip
  • Can be found in Firearm > Submachine Gun

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
