Alright, as an attempt to get more members, the M/A team is hosting a contest.
This is a cosmetic contest, internal mods won't effect anything.
When I say cosmetic, I mean PJ's, props, or making a NF look like a Sig Suaer. (please, don't)
The winner will be discussed by users, and the M/A team. If you paint it to look realistically, not making it a prop, then you'll lose points from the M/A team.
