Mod «Horse Utility: Mounted Firearms» for Project Zomboid

This optional add-on for Horse Utility enables stationary firearm combat while mounted on a horse. It preserves Project Zomboid's standard firearm system, allowing players to aim and fire using default controls without introducing custom damage logic or replacement ammunition.

• Mounted aiming with vanilla handguns, two-handed firearms, and compatible mod firearms
• Standard RMB aiming and LMB firing controls
• Stationary saddle combat within a controlled forward and side aiming sector
• Rear aiming is blocked to prevent invalid rider poses and saddle glitches
• Rider protection: the horse cannot be accidentally shot by its rider
• Full weapon handling support: reloading, racking, clearing jams, and opening supported ammunition boxes while mounted

The mod relies entirely on the base game's mechanics for ammunition consumption, magazine management, chamber states, spent cases, weapon condition, attachments, sound effects, targeting, and damage calculation.

Compatibility:

• Supports mod firearms that use Project Zomboid's standard ranged HandWeapon properties and normal attack paths
• Tested successfully with Vanilla Firearms Expansion and Guns of Marz (using Gunworks Framework)
• Compatibility with all firearm overhauls is not guaranteed

Usage Instructions:

1. Mount your horse
2. Equip a supported firearm after mounting
3. Remain stationary and hold RMB to aim
4. Press LMB to fire
