+To hold the gun, the item defined in itemstring must actually exist, it will not automatically register. To have a functional gun however, more will need to be changed in terms of properties.
+it's reccomended that you take a look at existing mods (like guns4d_pack_1) for guidance</p>
 <p>Guns4d uses a class system for most moving parts- including the gun. New guns therefore are created with the :inherit(def) method,
 where def is the definition of your new gun- or rather the changed parts of it. So to make a new gun you can run Guns4d.gun:inherit()
 or you can do the same thing with a seperate class of weapons. Set name to &quot;__template&quot; for template classes of guns.</p>
+<p><em>Please note:</em> there are likey undocumented fields that are used in internal functions. If you find one, please make an issue on Github.</p>
