Loadout
Tap a point on the weapon to choose what goes there. Double-tap a point to put it back to standard.
What the loadout changes
The game multiplies recoil and sway over every mounted part; many sights and handguards only add weight.

Calculated from the game's muzzle velocity and air resistance: how fast the bullet still flies, how far it drops and how long it takes. Below the speed of sound the supersonic crack stops giving the shooter away.
