Add realistic, tactical rangefinding binoculars to the arsenals. Two models included: the Russian B12 Range-Finding Binoculars and the US M22 Range-Finding Binoculars. Both provide live range, azimuth (compass bearing + cardinal), and elevation readouts when looking through the optics, perfect for spotters, JTACs, and anyone who likes their HUD with actual useful numbers.

Discord: https://discord.gg/2EDkGpPPRH

Included
-B12 Range Finder Binoculars (Russian Arsenal) — Tactical design, rugged UI styling to match Russian kit.
-M22 Range Finder Binoculars (US Arsenal) — Sleeker US-style model with the same core functionality.

What it shows
When you raise the binoculars and look through them the overlay displays:
RNG:  324m
AZI:  142° SE
ELEV: +12°

Clear labels, true compass azimuth (0–360°) with 8-point cardinal (N, NE, E, …), and elevation measured to the actual hit point (target above/below you).

Current behaviour (v1.0)
The rangefinder activates automatically while you are looking through the binoculars.
It continuously updates distance, azimuth, and elevation to the first physical hit in your line of sight.

Planned / Coming soon
-A dedicated “fire” keybind to actively trigger a single laser range measurement
-Custom models for actual Range Finding Binoculars

How to use
Equip the B12 or M22 binoculars from the appropriate arsenal.
Raise the binoculars (ADS/zoom). The rangefinder overlay will appear automatically.
Aim at the target, the mod shows range, compass bearing, and elevation to that target.

---

## 2. License Separation

Different parts of a Black Forge Studios Mod may be governed by different licenses.

This license applies only to Original Black Forge Studios Material. It does not replace, override, relicense, or remove the terms of any APL Material, Derived APL Material, Bohemia Interactive material, or other third-party material included in or used by a Mod.

Any APL Material included in, referenced by, modified by, inherited from, or built upon by a Black Forge Studios Mod remains governed by its original APL or applicable Bohemia Interactive license. Any Derived APL Material created by Black Forge Studios is also governed by the same applicable APL or Bohemia Interactive license terms as the source material, unless the source license expressly permits different treatment.

Black Forge Studios may apply this custom license to its Original Black Forge Studios Material, including independently created scripts, models, textures, sounds, configs, documentation, and other creative assets. However, this custom license does not apply to any portion of a Mod that is APL Material or Derived APL Material.

If there is a conflict between this license and the license terms of any APL Material, Derived APL Material, Bohemia Interactive material, or third-party material, the original third-party or APL license controls for that material.

---

## 3. Ownership

All Original Black Forge Studios Material contained within Black Forge Studios Mods is the intellectual property of Black Forge Studios. This license does not transfer ownership of any kind to the User or any Third Party.

Black Forge Studios does not claim ownership over APL Material, Bohemia Interactive material, or third-party material used, referenced, modified, or built upon by a Mod. Such material remains the property of its respective owners and is governed by its applicable license.

---

## 4. APL and Third-Party Attribution

Where a Mod includes, modifies, inherits from, builds upon, or otherwise uses APL Material or other third-party material, Black Forge Studios will provide attribution and credits as required by the applicable source license.

Each Mod's release page, documentation, readme, or included credits file should identify:

- The third-party mods, projects, or materials used
- The original author or team, where known
- The applicable license, such as APL, APL-SA, APL-ND, or another stated license
- The parts of the Black Forge Studios Mod that are based on, modified from, or derived from that material, where practical

Users must preserve required credits, notices, and license terms for any APL Material, Derived APL Material, Bohemia Interactive material, or third-party material.

---

## 5. Per-Mod Permissions Clause

Because different Mods have different intended use cases, Black Forge Studios operates on a **per-mod permissions model**.

The release page description of each individual Mod will explicitly state which of the following categories apply to that Mod:

- Whether Original Black Forge Studios Material may be **repacked** into another mod or collection
- Whether **modifying** Original Black Forge Studios Material is permitted for private use
- Whether **modifying** Original Black Forge Studios Material is permitted for public release
- Whether **porting** Original Black Forge Studios Material to other games or platforms is permitted
- Whether the Mod may be hosted on **third-party platforms** beyond its original release
- Whether **commercial use** of Original Black Forge Studios Material is permitted, including monetized servers, Patreon exclusives, or similar use
- Any other specific conditions the team deems relevant

**If a permission is not explicitly granted in the per-mod description, it is withheld by default for Original Black Forge Studios Material.** Users must not assume permission based on what is granted to other Black Forge Studios Mods.

Per-Mod Terms cannot remove rights granted by an applicable APL or third-party license, and they cannot impose this custom license on APL Material or Derived APL Material.

---

## 6. Default Restrictions

Unless the Per-Mod Terms of a specific release explicitly state otherwise, the following restrictions apply to all Original Black Forge Studios Material:

5. **No misrepresentation.** You may not claim authorship of or credit for any part of a Black Forge Studios Mod that you did not create.
