This class doesn't exist. This will cause issues at some point.

maybe we add a new config
QGVAR(modelPath) = x.p3d
_modelPath = getText (configFile >> "CfgAmmo" >> _ammo >> QGVAR(modelPath));
if (_modelPath == "") then {
private _cartridge = getText (configFile >> "CfgAmmo" >> _ammo >> "cartridge");
// use cartridge lookup switch...
also, we could move the cartridge->modelPath to be config based instead of the switch?
I'm happy to do the work if this sounds ok

I was doing that exact thing but got ADHD'd.
Also we'd need handling for firing UBGLs in this specific case, as most of those shouldn't drop casings until reload.

could handle shells on reload
["CAManBase", "Reloaded", {
params ["_unit", "_weapon", "_muzzle", "_newMagazine", "_oldMagazine"];
if (_unit != ACE_player) exitWith {};
if (isNil "_oldMagazine") exitWith {};
// if (!_muzzle isKindOf GL) exitWith {};
_oldMagazine params ["_mag", "_ammo"];
if (_ammo != 0) exitWith {};
systemChat "making shell";
//global event?
}] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;

At that point, might as well have a mag drop component for spent reloads (this is why dropped work on this)

This seems like a good idea, casings make sense and it would be ideal on the point of reload.
Magazines are not typically dropped unless things are really dire so I personally don't think you need to worry about them

Very true, but in Arma they vanish into thin air once you reload your gun and the magazine loaded in the gun is empty (unless you are running the Green Ammo mod). If we were to take grenade casings after reload into account, why not empty magazines? Empty magazines would either need to be returned into the player's inventory or dropped onto the ground.
Going down this route is going to open a can of worms imo. I'm with @LinkIsGrim - this needs to be thought out better and done properly.

Hi, does this excluded caseless grenades (eg. VOG-15) like those fired from GP-25? |
It should exclude those since the whole grenade is launched, so there's no case to leave behind. |
adds parameter FxCartridge_40mm to the 40mm classes. (grenadecore)
When merged this pull request will:
This pull request will enable underbarrel grenade launchers (40mm) to be included in creating casings on the ground.
This is done by two changes.
1.Adding to config.cpp a cfgammo edit that changes the 40mm grenades classes to include a cartridge parameter called "FxCartridge_40mm"
2.editing fnc_createcasing.sqf to include a search for this casing and applying the relevant 3d model for this casing
Each change in a separate line
