A lightweight weapon mod for GZDoom. Adds altfires, reloading, and all the things we love to hate about modern gaming.
Future updates are very unlikely unless compatibility completely breaks.

UPDATE: Added an assault rifle that the zombie guys randomly drop. In order to keep things balanced, they're now a little better at shooting rifles.
UPDATE 10/7/2013: Smoke effects have been added, the shotgun and rifle can be zoomed in for better accuracy, and I've tried to add a laser sight on the zoomed in rifle, but it's so buggy that I may end up taking it out.

10/11/2013: Added new reload animation to pistol, and new Nazis for Doom 2's secret levels.

10/14/2013: Rifle now throws 9mm casings to reflect it's ammo type, Invulnerability sphere turns screen gold instead of inverse as a cheap way to mask anti-aliasing issues, at least until I fix some of the sprites.

Spoiler: ORIGINAL POST
I know the number of weapon mods using the exact same, run-o-the-mill resources is on the higher side, and I'm not claiming to unleash anything groundbreaking with this small project. If I've violated anything, someone let me know so I can make it right.
I started out by combining sprites, sounds and code from wads like Beautiful Doom, Brutal Doom, Realm667 and a handful of Weasel's mods (as well as some coding from Ed the Bat), and while some aspects are almost verbatim to the source material, I've hopefully added enough tweaks, bends and breaks to make something new that you might have fun with. My goal was to give a little more punch to vanilla style gameplay. Nothing massive, just an edge. I've spent countless hours refining everything to keep the sight, sound and gameplay as balanced as possible. So if any part of this could be improved, let me know.
I do like how the secondary ammo is on top though.
