Does anyone know of any really good mods for realistic weapon damage? Like a pistol is one or two shots and will knock you onto your back or push you backwards? Shotgun/AK/M4/Sniper all one shot?

I really want this!

Thank you!

idk about knocking down, but you can edit the WeaponsInfo.xml in your common > data like I have done here

and change the damage value :)

You can also play LCPD:FR in Hardcore mode. Just an FYI though, if the person is wearing body armor, a lot of those rounds are going to be stopped dead in their tracks. Police body armor can stop the rounds of all of those weapons you mentioned with the exception of the M4A1 carbine and some sniper rifles (depending on the round). AK rounds are large, but don't have the penetration an M4A1 or M16 has. Military grade body armor can protect even better.

Afaik the Ak 47 makes more damage than a M16. I don't remember where did I see a comparisson between the damage both weapons did shooting against a wall; while few Ak 47 rounds penetrated and destroyed the bricks, the M16 needed many more bullets to penetrate and make such as damage as the Ak.

This mod is alright, there's one more mod that i read about, but i'm having trouble finding it because i don't remember the name. I read about it on these forums, i'll find it and update the post.

Soft body armor, like that of a police officer, is not going to stop rifle rounds or up-close shot gun rounds. Here's some more info: http://njlawman.com/Feature%20Pieces/Body%20Armor.htm

Using a balistics gel target the shape and size of a human, the rounds do two very different things. There was a show on the Military Channel in the U.S. that went over it. The AK round is big, and will has good stopping power. It will knock you off of your feet. Compared to an M16 or M4A1 with a smaller round, the M16 or M4A1 round is designed to penetrate body armor and then spin after it breaches the skin, causing more internal damage to a human target. It is not designed to punch throufh reinforced surfaces.

It's going to depend on the armor itself. I wouldn't expect a local officer's armor to be military grade, but it can stop point blank shots from 9mm and .45 caliber rounds in most cases. The best way to get around a bullet proof vest if you're an attacker is to aim slightly lower or slightly higher than the area the vest covers. Unfortunately for America's finest, it doesn't cover their entire body. And there are of course armor piercing rounds you can 'obtain'. Hunting rifle rounds can also be stopped by a bullet proof vest that a cop would wear. An M16 or an AK47 would likely punch through it, but not military grade kevlar, at least not for a few shots, especially with the clay padding the U.S. military is starting to add to the outside of the vest.

GTA Garage has a lot of realistic weapon damage mods, ma'am. Also, LCPDFR's "Hardcore" mode makes it so the player character is killed with one or two shots.

Thank you everyone for all the help! :D

One of my favorite aspects of installing LCPDFR was that you can play the entire game in hardcore mode, not just when you're an officer. The added challenge of getting through the entire storyline this way is extremely challenging and FUN.

Sometimes there are missions that are downright impossible though, even with body armor

That would take away the fun part for me. lol The NOOSE ambush mission (don't ask me where in the city it takes place) as an example gave me a ridiculously hard time during normal play on XBOX 360. It's in some disheveled old brick building somewhere that's been demolished.
