It doesn't have to be a regular Sterling though. It could LOOK exactly or similar to one, but the "lore" of the weapon could be that they manufactured a new weapon that was mainly using incendiary ammo and wanted to do so with style, thus based it on the Sterling :cool:

Like they did for the MP7? :IS2:

I like that. A sterling with the symbol, a front grip and some sort of funny attachment on the barrel.

I propose that someone makes the model and mutator for this weapon, by basing it off the MAC10 with a little more bullet damage and less fire rate and the MAC10 becomes unperked.

Exaaaaactly!!! :)
So nice to see someone understanding (and liking <3) my thoughts ^^

And MAC10 unperked... well naaah. If the Sterling is the new Firebug SMG, then the MAC10 can go to the Medic as Tier 2 (as the Medic sorta already is the "SMG" perk)

That sounds like a very sexy idea if you ask me.

But it makes me wanna bring up an ancient idea...

Perk pistols. Sharpie has his pistols, Commando has a MAC, Support has a sawn-off? :confused:

Love this idea. In response to OP however, why not just leave the Mac as Firebug and the Sterling as the new Medic gun? To me Mac10 just doesn't fit a "healer" class.

The problem (at least to me) is that the Mac10 doesnt seem like a Firebuggy SMG, whereas the Sterling looks alot more like a fiery weapon.

My MAIN hopes would be:

-Add Gunslinger.
-Make Mac10 a Gunslinger weapon, and dualwieldable.
-Add Sterling as the Incendiary Firebug weapon.

But as that perhaps won't happen, i suggested the Mac10 as the Medic (or Commando?) tier 2 instead, or at least as something temporary. The Medic's tier 2, imo, would be something like a MP5/10 w. a flashlight on it. While the MP5 is a common weapon, the MP5/10 is a rare one. I have only seen it in... i think it was Joint Ops and Raven Shield too perhaps?

on that basis - how about the orgional prototype EM-2?

While that is a different rifle... don't you see how similar it is to the Bullpup?

I mean, look at what wiki says:
" As the EM-2 could not be easily adapted to the longer and more powerful round, it faded from use. However, the bullpup layout for a British service rifle was finally adopted some years later in form of the SA80 assault rifle, the EM-2's spiritual successor, which remains in service today."

As you can see in the link of SA80, the L22A1 is a variant of the SA80, and that is the Bullpup in the game at this very moment.
So, I'm sorry, but no. It's way to similar looking and all. While the EM-2 IS different, it is not distinct enough.

I support the simple replacement of the MAC-10 with a Sterling because, unlike the MAC-10, the Sterling isn't a boring, ugly, characterless block of sheet metal that's been in every goddamn game since the beginning of time.

Yo Zeptorem, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish but MAC10 is one of the most gangsta weapons of all time.

Yet unlike the sterling, the Mac-10 isn't a boring, ugly, tube with a stick out the side and some hole's in the barrel. Yet, on the brightside, it hasn't be in every goddamn game since the beginning of time.

Oh man, we should get the TP-82. Not only is it a side-by-side shotgun, not only does it have a third, rifled barrel, not only does the detachable buttstock turn into a machete, but it's been taken into SPACE.

It's a Russian space pistol shotgun carbine machete.

Build the models, textures, and the animations and I am sure they will consider it.

How very soul-crushing. Lets see you make a model, texture and animation for Pat the Hairdresser so it can be included. You defend your ideas heavily, so now you have a chance to get them put in motion since TWI say they will add community content. Stop ripping up other people's ideas.

But yeah, it would be nice if someone made the visual parts of the Sterling.
