The goal of this mod is to expand the usefulness of certain ammo types, or the usefulness of certain weapons at different points in the game.
Combat Rifle:
- Added a .38 Automatic Receiver
- Made the original .38 Receiver only require Gun Nut rank 1, and cost reduced material, now if you find one early on, you can take advantage of it to replace your pipe rifle. (And who the hell is level 39 and using this piddly receiver anyway?)
- Added a Automatic .308 Receiver.
.44:
- Added a .38 receiver (Its a revolver ammo anyway)
Lever-Action Rifle
- Added a .44 receiver, in case you are in the commonwealth or Nuka World, and are hard up for 45-70, deals slightly less damage.
Minigun
- Added a .38 barrel, to give some late-game life to .38 and give a more available ammo source to the minigun (Converted from my 38 Minigun mod)
Radium Rifle
- Added both a standard and automatic 10mm receiver, slightly lower damage. Now if you are running a build that doesnt use pistols, and dont have .45 or need it for another gun, you can use 10mm.
1.1 Assault Rifle
- Added a 5mm chamber for the Assault Rifle (Credit to Grapplers10 on PS4 Bethesda.net for the idea) for commando players. This has a extremely high fire rate (You will need the 80 round drum, I find it to be very satisfying to shoot) and very low damage compared to 5.56 chambers. Vanilla it may out damage the minigun, due to the poor balance of the minigun in the vanilla game. Compared with my own Weapon Rebalanced mod it does less damage than the accelerated barrel, more than the standard barrel, and has a lower fire rate than the standard barrel, so by all accounts its worse in every way, except it has no spin up, better range, and is a lighter gun. And of course, benefits from commando, not heavy gunner.
I’d be willing to consider doing more, but they need to both make some sense, and have a decent gameplay reason. (Like converting .308 weapons to use Nuka Worlds 7.62 and vice versa makes sense, they are both 7.62, but theres no real way to do that and have it be useful without tanking the balance between it and other .308 weapons.) As a general rule, gameplay comes first, realism second.
