-Take an urban mech
-load it with machinegun leaving one hardpoint free
-load an uac5
-now you have one more mg

This is the build



This is the 3d model



This is what it should look like



in game it stll show as a machinegun.



The uac still work fine, but the hitbox is the one of the machinegun

what i think it happen is that the game try to load the uac in the top hardpoint, as it correctly does if instead of the uac, an uac5 is mounted, but the uac model is too big for that spot so the default balistic is rendered instead.

Plus, i don't know if it is correlated but, in the games i have partecipated with the uac in disguise, frequently enemy shot registered in the back while presenting my front to them. One case being in the forest colony cave, 1 v 1, wth no other mech in said cave, both player under 70 ping.

For science i tried different combination in the loading order, and if the uac is loaded after 2 mg, so that the hard point it use is the one farther left, the shapeshifting uac is shown as an ac2.

I would like to point out though.. that certain hardpoints are "fixed" at a certain location.. regardless of equipment. UAC5s, AC10s, AC20s, and Gauss most often qualify for that (most visible in a Banshee).

It's not necessarily a bug, but designed with that particular behavior in mind.

The problem here isn't that the uac placement is fixed, in fact it is the opposite.
The uac doesn't have a fixed hardpoint, so i can mount one where it shouldnt be possible.
As a result, the game freak out and render a different weapon.
The game can render the correct model, but only if the weapons are inserted in a certain order.
