Secret Weapon...?

Hey I was pokeing around in the data\cfg\"UserPlayerContext" folder and came across these entrys in the "Ammunition.upc" file , and was wondering what is these used for? I was thinking the "dev guys" left our star shells behind at the docks in SH4?

And as for the fake scope ... Who's up for modding a button to deploy the thing ..?(kidding) ... Thought I'd ask , thought it was a (dev joke) thrown in for the modder guys ....

Just finished reading a book about British Subs in WW2. They would drop off/launch fake periscope decoys to keep the Germans busy and using up fuel and ammo.

that would be cool if we could implement them into the game :)
