Caliber (new weapon component)

Replaces the Gunsmith's iron sight assembly with a caliber system, completely changing the functionality of the firearm and significantly changing the balance of the weapon, while enhancing short barrel performance and making long barrels no longer a direct upgrade option

🎯 Module introduction

Let's face it - the improved iron sights in the game are useless! They're neither historically accurate nor good-looking, and offer no real improvements to gun performance, despite changes to the in-game status bar display. Have you ever wished that that component slot could be used to install something really useful?

This is the problem that the "Caliber" module is meant to solve! It completely replaces the iron sight component category with a completely new caliber system. Each gun now comes with two different caliber or charge options, which can significantly impact weapon performance, sometimes drastically.

✨ Main features

• **Full Weapon Coverage**: Works with all firearms including Navy Revolvers and Elephant Rifles
• **Scope Liberation**: All scopes can now be used with almost all repeating rifles and rifles
• **Short Barrel Enhancement**: Short barrel now provides a 10% fire rate bonus, making the choice of long and short barrels more tactically meaningful
• **Dynamic Balance**: Long barrel still maintains 10% range bonus, but is no longer the only option

📝 NOTE: The in-game status bar will not show these changes as they are just static elements

🔧 Installation instructions

Simply drag and drop the "lml" folder into your home directory to complete the installation.
