@Master Man of Justice
First, I'd like to thank you for your post. I was hoping someone would come out with some personalized advice.
Actually, I'm a huge COD fan, and yes, that of course influenced my decisions. From interacting with many people who have FPSC x9, and from my own experience, many people like weapons along that line, but to be honest, I included Tactical Knives because v1.18 will include Project Blue's Weapon Melee System. I believe it's much better to knife at something instead of using the butt of a pistol to attack. In addition, I've found that 70% percent of FPSC users try to make a horror game at some point, and knifing when you have low ammo is definitely a good strategy. Also, silencers have a few practical uses in certain types of games people may make. Also, the master himself, Errant AI, included silencer additions as well as camos on his grenade launchers and Sniper Rifles. Since he is one of my heroes, some of my ideas sprout from his polished library of media. It's all about the end user feeling free to be able to have, and use, what he or she wants. My decisions are influenced by both the fanboy and businessman in me.
As far as camoflauge, you are right. At the most, a ghillie mesh might be put over a rifle for stealth, but nothing more. I'm actually considering removing that part to make Gencheff's job so much easier. However, I will keep the different camo's for Sniper Rifles, because they aren't camos, but more of "skins" that represent different materials in the make of the gun.
About making my own models, well...I've only been doing this for about 3 weeks, so I have very little knowledge about how things work. I mean, once I can model existing guns, I can start being able to examine the anatomy of guns and start exercising my own imagination more. I usually pick the guns that I do because they just look awesome to me. And, I picked the Browning because it's one of the guns I own, so I can have a real life reference material instead of pictures. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the Model Pack 5 & 6, there are military rifles as well as a Browning 12 Gauge.
Thank you for the list as well, I just may use some of those guns in the future!
Again, I thank you for the CC, and I appreciate it, as well as any future comments you may have.
