I am seriously considering adding nonsensical items that can only be obtained via care package. (E.G. grid lines, CADPAT paint, etc.) :)

But those items are priceless; how can you give them a MP value??  ???

How about some food for the shaft seals?

Or grease for the relative bearing?

Thanks Mike,

Today's care package was a GPS.  :nod: I don't even have one around here, so at least now I have one for the game.

There wouldn't be much point if it did. The BFA is mainly there to divert gas back to cycle the bolt. Howitzers, such as the M777, don't have bolts. However, there was a thread somewhere here that showed a "silencer" for a PzH 2000. If you're curious, here's a link to the image.
