📋 About This Mod
Simply replaces the firing sound for the Laser Pistol for different one. The old one seemed kind of weak, and had a kind of "squishy" sound in VATS. This one is balanced and world friendly, while still providing a satisfying shot. Includes

1. Description
=========================================
Improved Sound for The Laser Pistol is a audio sample to replace the stock Laser Pistol firing sound. It does not effect the reload or jam sounds. It should replace the sound for any uniques that follow the same file path.
Includes both 2d and 3d versions NOTE: YOU NEED BOTH. The difference is that 2d is stereo, and is what you as the player hear. The 3d audio is mono and allows the game to "position" it stereo-dynamically to where the sound is coming from, as in the instance of an NPC firing, i.e. some dude to your left is firing, so the audio clip needs to be mono in order for the engine to position the sound to the left channel.
The sound is comprised of three audio samples edited and mixed together to create a sound that is plausible and world-friendly.
