This mod adds new craftable silencers and is 100% compatible with existing saves. You will require a screwdriver to attach all silencers. This is how it works in vanilla. If one day someone figures out a way to change that, I will remove the need to use a screwdriver to attach the silencers.

IMPORTANT - This mod also fixes some of the vanilla weapon attachments offset (for the m16 and m14). The recoil pad on the m14 is a good example of something that vanilla pz currently doesn't show properly.
Compatible weapon mod(s)
