Usage Tips or Limitations:
Due to the size and contain and in order to avoid any pitfalls using the many options of this product I decided to examine the included items one by one.
CHARACTER:
****************
On the "Body" part of each weapon you'll find dials to control the various functions such as cocking the gun, unfold bipod, etc.
The M60 comes in two versions:
a) Without an ammo-can attached, so you can use the feed belt as is, to fire from the hip for example or in combination with the ammo box, placed on the ground. The belt can be morphed by using a dial on the "body" part.
b) With the portable ammo-can parented to it.
Helgard’s genious is responsible for the firing system animation.
To better move or turn a gun choose the first part on the "body parts" list, usually an abbreviation of the gun's name, not the "body".
The Ammo box can be opened and have the feed belt sticking out of it. Morphs for the belt links are provided.
Note: Take care not to delete any part on these characters as the entire character will be deleted. If, for some reason, you want to get rid of a part -- the sling of the rifle for example-- go to properties and check “invisible”.
PROPS:
*********
Magazines, bullets and spent bullet shells are not smart propped to anything. You can move them and position them freely as you wish.
The USMC Combat knife comes in two versions. One is parented to the scabbard (which in turn is parented to the web belt) and one is parented to the figure’s right hand.
POSES:
*********
Before applying any of these poses turn all IK (Inverse Kinematics) and Limits off on your character (M3 in this case)
Setup poses are provided for easier handling of weapons. Here is the drill: You load the figure (M3) and you turn the IK off. Then you load the weapon, you apply the setup pose to the figure and then you apply the setup pose to the weapon. After this you parent manually the "body" of the weapon to the figure's right hand and you are in business.
For example: You want to setup the M3 figure and weapon for the M60 poses. You apply M60-SetupM3 on M3 and then select the gun and apply M60-SetupGun. Make sure that the body of the gun is selected and parent it to the figure’s right hand (go to your figures menu at the top of your poser window, choose set figure parent, then choose right hand from the list that appears). That’s it! Then you can apply any of the poses provided to the figure -- the gun will remain firmly embedded to his hand.
All poses are taking into consideration that the character will be posed with boots (or shoes) on.
Mat file poses are provided for easy change of textures on most of the gear. Two beret options are available: a green Special Forces beret and a dust coloured Rangers one. The SF beret loads as a default. To change the unit flash go to poses and apply any of the flashes available there. If a Rangers flash is chosen the colour of the beret changes automatically.
That's all folks. I hope you enjoy this pack.... :)

I really do not now, from this
is smart propped obviously for M3
you can parent it to the dummy bone or zack stick's head and make him invisible then in expression editor assign morphs to expressions but unsure how you would then move the bones if any of transform bits unless you assigned them as bones but this is tricky
asked on Skype, none of my Daz friends own it to tell me more and they are into weapons but not for M3.
