I know that there wasn’t much of any weapon modifications at the time.. But I remember reading an article how some soldiers would create make weapons, by taping a flash light to there weapon or putting some sort of empty can at the end of the barrel for a bit of supprsion of sound for the weapon. I wonder how this will work..

Didn’t dice say this too ? “Makeshift weapons”  
Or something along those lines? I could be wrong though.

You may even suggest to have a signature “Made in China”. Guys please read about WW1 before creating non-adequate threads with items which were not present at the start of 20 century

I’m not a fan of all the attachments. I prefer the bare bones style of what was available then. But technically guns, tape, and flashlights were available then weren’t they?  
Again, I hated the blinding flashlights and lasers in the last games.
