This question has been at the back of my mind for like 4 years, and I've been losing sleep over it all this time.

What do the weapon card bitmaps do?

(Btw, that first sentence isn't true lolz.)

Basically they are the bitmaps that are used when you see the weapon from far away.

Oh right, makes sense, but I was also wondering why theres only some for certain weapons, for example there isn't one for the sniper rifle.

The weapons that dont have it use MIP maps I believe. Basically when you save the dds. texture and say generate MIP maps, it makes a few less quality drawings. If you dont generate them, it'll use the ones already there. For example, the warthog uses MIP maps.

If I'm mistaken please correct me
