eXcalibr is the ultimate upgrade pack for CALIBR.

xCALIBR is a resource extension to Tubal's CALIBR standard, providing much a needed eye-candy upgrade, enhanced detail, and standardized resources for modders. It pumps up your FO3 experience with accurate boxes or detailed magazines for most munitions, hi-res bullets and casings (sized and shaped appropriately), scaled ballistic data, and enhanced features for modders.
**WARNING - eXcalibr installation can cause excessive ammo use* eXcalibr has been tested safe for use in all Fallout 3 weaponry eXcalibr contains dangerous amounts of lead. Please don't let your children lick the bullets. eXcalibr's carbon footprint is enormous. Especially at full auto.
