→ EDITED NEWS ⟩ COMING NEXT TUESDAY!
To be released on April 21
The new Maschinenpistole 40 (MP 40) weapon model — extracted from The Dark Army: Uprising — for Return to Castle Wolfenstein will be out soon, exactly on next Tuesday (April 21, 2015) at 12:00 UTC, on Mod DB only! It will be compatible with each version of the original game — a Windows .exe installer will be released and, following your suggestions, it won't pollute your registry. However, it won't be compatible with Mac and Linux systems (and there there are no plans regarding a release on both of these systems).
You should also note that this gun will not be available in the multi-player game mode; it will not erase the old MP 40, both will be in the directory (the old one will be used for multi-player and the new one for single-player). You'll also be able to un-install this weapon model at any time.
No sound files and no hand textures will be included - only the weapon model and its texture files will. You'll have to add yours.

The famous form about your favorite gun of The Dark Army: Uprising has been closed more than ten hours ago, and I'm proud to announce the winner!
The form's results
Again, I want to thank everyone for participating to such a poll. It was great!
I didn't expect to get much votes! It took me time, but I synthesized everything.
Form's winner
I'm really proud to reveal the winner of this poll: it seems that a majority of The Dark Army: Uprising fans voted for the Maschinenpistole 40 (MP 40)! Unfortunately, I wasn't really sure it would win the battle: it was really tight between this gun and the Fallschirmgewehr 42 (FG 42), as well as the Sten! I can assure than you will earn this winning gun, and you won't be disappointed!
To be released soon
As I'm hardly working on The Dark Army: Uprising, the packaging of this gun can't be done right now, and some checking has to be done before; regarding this fact, I can easily confirm the winning gun's release: it will be between April 10, 2015 — April 27, 2015!
How it will work
An automatic installation executable is in the works! You will just have to own a legal copy of Return to Castle Wolfenstein™. Updated or not, your version of the game will be compatible with this beautiful Maschinenpistole 40 (MP 40). Just make sure you've got the original game.
What to expect
Note that it's an exceptional offer I'm making here: I'm releasing a gun of the mod! It's a long and devoted task towards the fans of The Dark Army: Uprising! That's why it will only happen once before the release of the complete modification. I won't be releasing any other content of the project separately before its original release.
When this gun will be released, I will fully return to the development of the mod.
As the development will reach an end soon, I will be totally absent from the web, until summer.
As I informed you last month, I will be back in Summer with important stuff to show about the project.
Can't tell more unfortunately, sorry. I hope this gun will help you to wait for the complete product.
✔ Thanks to all Return to Castle Wolfenstein fans for playing this game,
keeping it alive and for supporting my project's development.
Great news! I voted for the Walther G43, but am happy with the result.

"An automatic installation executable is in the works!"
Please don't pack it into installer, make a zip/7z package. Installers pollute Windows Registry.
Interesting notice: you're right, installers are boring for polluting Windows registry. I know it and that's why it won't be a traditional installer.
Effectively, it will be an automatic installation executable, but it will be similar in some ways to WinZip. It means this executable will look and work like InstallShield for example, but will install the files like WinZip, so it won't create any new key to the registry. It will be re-usable without un-installing anything of course, and it's important to precise that an un-install executable will be created in the specified directory.
Hope you understand: you don't have to care about that. :)
**** yeah. MP40 is what i voted for :)
Glad for you mate!
