I noticed the original M1 skin said "Amroury" on the rear of the receiver, not only is this wrong in terms of spelling but also in terms of historical accuracy. So I made this small fix because I was tired of seeing the European spelling of Armory on my American M1 Rifle, I'm just going to release the texture so you can apply it using Half-Life Model Viewer.

If you're as picky as I am you will enjoy this little fix, Enjoy!

Dangit, when I saw 'fixed' and 'Garand' in the same sentence, I thought someone had finally fixed the lighting problems on Nomad's Garand.

Ah...someday...

If I wanted precise historical accuracy I would've started playing paintball, which has a lot more feel to it, its a f*cking game, not the american Normandy loadout, you seem to pretty nationalistic, which in America isn't considered wrong, in Sweden, as soon as you wave a Swedish flag, you either get your arm shot off or get your face in the paper with the label "NAZI"

Shut up guy, if you don't like it, don't read the thread.

He wasn't praising his country, he simply didn't like the fact that it was spelled British style rather than American.

[brit accent] He's quite right you know. [/brit accent]

BWAHAHA

you guys kill me

Yeah, Selbstmord, that was kind of an extreme rexponse for such a minor thing. If you don't like having things spelled right, by all means, don't download this, but for those people who do care, I don't see why you must attack them.

That's too bad about nationalizm being frowned upon in Sweden, a healthy ammount of love for one's country is important in it's people, I think.

i'm just wondering why they made such a stupid mistake like "Amroury".:confused:

btw: i love Germany

I hate to break it to you but us Brits spell it Armory too. I haven't see one brit in my whole life spell it 'amroury' (unless they were under five years old or crap at typing lol)

Ska

haha, i saw a thread at the DoDHQ forums about that goof-up.

Not at my local gun club. Its Armoury. In Big RED Stencilled letters

hmmmm thats weird, I can honstely say i've never seen it spelt 'armoury' before. Where abouts in the UK you from? I'm from Yorkshire so things like reading & writing aren't are best qualities lol

Go back to the General Forums where you came from and stop disturbing our small little friendly community we have here!(except the the Alliedassault.com forums incident)
Also, you obviously haven't been here alot have you, as you would know we strive for historical perfection.

Selbstmord, why are you so rude? this isnt the only thread/reply youve been rude in... there really was no need for that comment..

Historical perfection! Our motto!

Yes, yes I know, there was no direct meaning for posting such a comment but that didn't stop me, did it?

Me being Australian and a country under strong British influences, we spell it 'armoury'. Same applies to our 's' replacing the American's 'z', along with a few other things such as 'neighbour' written as 'neighbor'...

British = 'zed'
American = 'zee'

Stupid (even though I watched it) Sesame Street's made nearly every kid that saw that show pronounce it 'zeeeee'!! :eek: ;)



And on a somewhat distant relating note... Long live metric! Die imperial!
Fahr... fahren... fahrenhei... what is that!! :p :p

I spell it armoury

Hey, wind.... Thank you for wasting 15 seconds of my time, ****head.
Now it's time to make you a bug stain on the grille of my Chrysler.


IN OTHER NEWS: It should be spelled "Armory" because the rifle was made in the United States.... "Armoury" would best be used on British rifles.

Yes, yes...

I was simply stating the difference between the two countries. The garand being an American rifles, would naturally have the words in American spelling. Same would go for anything, made anywhere. I wasn't proving anyone wrong nor anyone right.

But seeing 'Cliff Yablonski' in there, I take it that this message was in light heartedness, should I not? :)

long live the American standard system, down with the metric system! lol, the US will never go to the metric system even though we are supposed to

You misspelled "garandreceiver" in the BMP's name. It ended up being "garanrreceiver".

Sorry, I couldn't resist. -_-

Wolf, your sig is too damn long.

Alrite Alrite!

Break it up.

Its because you spend so much time online with us yanks or what you call Colonial Types lol :D

And Sturmtruppe dont be so arrogant please How is America better then Sweden? Neither is better then the other they are both freedom loving countries.

Damn colonials! first they want their own spelling of 'armoury' and now they don't want the metric system, i'll some 'em. the Red Coats are coming back for round 2, mark my words! lol

Ska

Im shaking in my shoes, Is prince harry going to spit alcohol on us? :D

I kid, I kid! :)

Nah we're bringing back the ghost of King George, the king of england (who was infact german, that make sense to anyone or is it just me? lol) and a complete fruit cake lol

We'll probally lose though cos you've got Mel Gibson lol

Ska

King George III you mean :D

what about Cornwallis ?

How about the battle of the ages George Washington vs. Charles Cornwallis :D

I know jack **** about that war actaully. I asked my history teacher about it and the answer was basically:

"Well we pretty much lost so you don't need to know about that one" lol

Ska

LOL yeah I guess you dont have many losing wars in your history and you would rather not talk about them :D

The things that nearly all British History teachers try and skip around are:

1) War of independance
2) Easter Uprising (Ireland troubles 1916)
3) Boer War Concentration camps
4) Britains great job of helping out Poland in WW2
5) The millions of Cossacks we sent back to Stalin to be shot after WW2

Not one teacher I have met has yet to give me a straight answer on anyone of these subjects without mumbling it or developing a sudden interest in their shoes lol

Ska

LOL! Thats great, we didnt exactly win Vietnam but they still teach about it here :)

I like the Poland one, but it would be pretty hard for the brits and French to get troops over to poland they would have to go through water filled with mines and German ships.

yeah, there was no way to really help them. The poles did a pretty good job at a last stand though. Anyone who charges tanks on horse back is pretty fecking brave in my book.

The other subject they avoid is how the British King George left his cousin Nicholas in Russia to get shot during the 1917 revolution.

The US never had a chance to win in Vietnam though. They were out numbered, dint know the ground, dint understand the cause and were up against enemy who had years to bloody set up their defenses and had a hell of a lot of new guns supplied to them by other communist countries and the french who left alot of their kit behind when they pulled out.

They reckon around 1million rounds of ammo was fired by the US for every enemy kill, spray and pray at its best eh? lol

Ska

Yep plus most of the soldiers didnt even want to be there :(

We shouldnt of even fought the war look at Vietnam now they havent even dont anything bad lol

No time to worry about such trivialities when you are fighting a war against your nephew!

Well the fact the French army got chased out of Vietnam first should of been your first warning that the NVA meant buiseness (And yes the French Army does exist! lol)

Anyway, better shut up before a mod realises we have some how changed this thread from the spelling of armory to the war of independance and then to British History 'bad points' and then to the Vietnam war lol

Ska

True Ska... true...

Good job on fixing up the spelling.

(God forbid you spell English words like the English! lol j/k :p)

but it was also said that to our 58,000 dead, we killed over 3 million VC and NVA soldiers. Also, Vietnam was more of a political war, seeing as there were so many rules, and places that were "off limits". An American pilot couldnt bomb or strafe and AA gun if it was still being built because it was "off limits", they had to wait before it's construction was completed before they could attack it. There's politics for you :D

You misspelled "garandreceiver" in the BMP's name. It ended up being "garanrreceiver".

And to think I helped you with those AvP2 conversion packs for NS!! heh heh!

Anyway, anybody actually using it? just curious.
