Great work on the mod but there is one thing to me that is huge and bothers me alot. The garand recoil is WAY off. When shooting it the barrel rises way too much. With the garand you can put 2 rounds on the target very quickly. Which is near impossible in FH2 because of the barrel rise. It rises like an smg. I have alot of experience with the garand and it does not have much recoil. Me and my dad have collected alot of WW2 guns over the years. (garand springfield 1903 arisaka k98 enfield carcano m91/30 ) and the garand by far has the least recoil. Most of these shoot very similiar rounds so caliber is not the issue. There are two reasons why the M1 garand has lower recoil.
1. Its action. M1 garand is gas operated rotating bolt. It acts like the m16 of today which is also gas operated and the action absorbs much of the recoil.
2. Weight. The m1 garand is a bit heavier then the k98 and most of the other bolt guns. M1 garand 9.5 lbs k98 8.0 lbs.

most of those roudns would have it at about 20-30 yards.
