Yep, I discovered it the moment after I posted this. Thanks for the response though! I had no idea EFLC actually had weapon overrides. I thought both IV and EFLC guns always co-existed. Hmph.

So here's the deal...I've been modding GTA IV since it came out, and I haven't come across this specific problem until now, and I'm stumped. I downloaded a silenced gun to replace the stock desert eagle from GTA IV/EFLC. It was a typical installation (using OpenIV and replacing w_eagle.wdr and w_eagle.wtd), but when I played the game (EFLC), it was the stock desert eagle. I closed the game and replaced it again, only for the same result. So I figured ok, something's wrong with this gun I downloaded. So I downloaded another one, which I've used in the past no problems. Same installation process as before, and when I booted EFLC again, it was STILL the stock DE. I quit the game and went into OpenIV and viewed the model, and it's the downloaded gun! What gives, and how do I fix this?? Thanks in advance. EDIT: *sigh*...Just discovered EFLC has its own DE and it overrides the stock one. Changed the files to w_e2_eagle and it worked fine. -_- My apologies, please close this topic.

I encountered this for the first time a couple days ago too (with Milo's MP5 SD mod). I think it is similar to when textures start disappearing with vehicles that have too high of a polygon count...just with guns. Whenever I tried to equip it, the fist icon would show up, but I was empty handed. I even found a replacement texture file someone uploaded to correct the problem, but it still happened. So yeah, I think it's the gun itself. Unless someone fixes it, you'll just have to choose another.
