SUCK is an Arma 3 mod that allows Players to attach and detach their under barrel grenade launcher (UBGL). It uses placeholder items for different UGL models and is compatible with ACE3 and supports several of the most common weapon packs.
Simple Underbarrel-Grenade-Launcher Changeing Kit
Switch UBGL Conversion Kit
Steffies UBGL Change Kit
This Mod should support to attach and detach an UBGL as it should be. Because UBGL is no attachment like a scope or a Bipod the whole Weapon has to be switched. Therefore only a limited range of weapons can be supported which have a UBGL counterpart. Under barrel grenade launchers are items that can be attached to the weapons bipod slot. Attaching and detaching this item then switched the weapon to the corresponding counterpart. We tried to read combination from config using GL-Muzzle and inheritance but most Mods Config structure is too chaotic to do so.

This Mod adds under barrel grenade launchers as items that can be attached to the weapons bipod slot.
As soon as a supported weapon has a grenade launcher equipped the weapon is switched to its UBGL counterpart.
The Weapon is switched back by unequipping the UBGL item. Supported grenade launcher weapons are equipped with the UBGL item on pickup automatically.
Note that the mapping of special weapons (attachments variants) is created by their inheritance hierarchy and my lead to color scheme or barrel length mismatches.
SUCK is compatible with ACE Extension - Attachment Switching and Advanced Weapon Mounting for more emersion.
This mod project uses synixebrett's HEMTT. Check out his github page for more information.
to build a mod release HEMTT needs to be installed on your system. Execute hemtt build --release --force in the projects root directory.
Any weapon pack Modder is free to provide his own Compatibility Mods. For introductions on how to create these see: developers guide
