I just published another mod! It adds a variety of guns to Minecraft, all from the Halo universe!
This mod was created out of necessity... Or at least some form of it.
It all started on a server that I host. I had my Frag Fest Mod installed, so creepers were of utmost value...
We had a war...
It was big. One of us wasn't completely sure who's side he was on. He cracked under pressure and took as much stuff out of our chest as he could so that he could escape into the wild.
He was killed.
And killed again.
And killed a few more times.
After the war was over, that same person retaliated. He took as many valuables as he saw out of our chest, and jumped into a pit of lava.
I had a good view of him, and I was reeaaally hoping that I would be able to take him out with an RPG or an arrow. He jumped in the lava pit, and most of the stuff was GONE.
I needed a sniper rifle.
The result of my work since then: Over 40 new items, 11 new projectiles, fully craftable, and over 3000 lines of code!

Reloading
The reloading functionality for the guns of this mod is really quite unique... At least, as far as I know. The guns and magazines have their own durability values to store the number of bullets left, and show it to the player.
When you run out of ammo in your gun, an empty magazine of the gun's type will pop into your inventory, and the durability bar will start to regenerate... But you won't be able to fire until it is completely full, and you have the new magazine completely inserted.
Once the durability bar is full, then it will either disappear, or pop into a damaged state, depending on whether you have a full magazine in your inventory.
To load a magazine, simply place the magazine into the crafting table with the proper bullet. Do this until it is full for maximum benefit.
Ammunition
With all of these fancy bullets, you are probably wondering "Which bullet fits which gun?" Don't worry. I have a list for you!
Assault Rifle--------7.62x51mm Bullet
Pistol-----------------12.7x30mm Bullet
DMR-----------------7.62x51mm Bullet
Battle Rifle----------9.5x40mm Bullet

Shotgun--------------8 Gauge Shell
Sniper Rifle---------14.5x114mm Bullet

With your preferred weapon, some extra ammo, and practice, then that army of angry zombies you've been worrying about will be a piece of cake!
Go get em!
