Modular Firearms for Minecraft 1.7.10

Handmade Guns Overdrive (HMG) is a Minecraft Forge 1.7.10 firearms framework focused on modular weapons, configurable gun packs, and large-scale multiplayer combat.

Unlike traditional weapon mods that ship a fixed set of guns, HMG is designed around external content packs. Weapons, magazines, ammunition, attachments, models, sounds, recipes, and gameplay behavior can all be defined through pack content, allowing server owners, modpack authors, and creators to build their own firearm ecosystems without modifying the mod itself.

Whether you're creating a realistic military experience, a faction warfare server, a survival progression pack, or a custom PvP environment, HMG provides the foundation.
