HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

I haven't made a topic requesting help for a while and it has finally come to where I need some.

How would I take say the plasma rifle and give it the ability to reload and fire out of a clip like a smg?

I haven't tried it, but clone a magazine chunk from a gun that has one (e.g., the magnum), and set the age and heat per round to 0 so the plasma rifle doesn't age into uselessness or overheat.

Is there any reason you couldn't just mod the magnum or a duplicate of it? What binds you to the plasma rifle? If you need those jmads, swap them over the jmads for a gun that has a magazine, if that works better for you.
