This addon reduces the added weight of gear upgrades.
Upgrading your weapons and armor adds a lot of weight to them. In some cases it is realistic, e.g. when adding armor plates or recoil counter-weights, but it actively hinders you especially when (in my opinion) most upgrades offer too little benefit on top of the exorbitant cost to justify the extra encumbrance.
This addon sets the added weight of all upgrades to be 0.01kg. Weight reduction is not touched.
Feel free to let me know if there are any gaps or suggestions.
What about already upgraded weapons?
This should work retroactively. Weapon weight is computed on load time, so it should affect existing upgrades. I can test this.

is this working for 1.5.1?
Does, but not actually. Seems to be broken in conjuction with BaS and DO NOT try to read the Lynx SVD 10X Scope upgrade description and upgrade the SVU with a technician (both will cause a crash).
So the short answer is: doesn't work properly on 1.5.1.
I can confirm this addon DOES NOT WORK for 1.5.1. Causes a CDT (crash to desktop) the moment you try to load a save or a new game.
