📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a completely new, scratch-made Mauser C96 replacer for the Chinese Pistol ingame, including sounds. It can and probably will conflict with any mods that edit the Chinese Pistol entry, sorry. To install, just unpack into your data folder and tick off the .esp.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,722 endorsements and nearly 35k downloads—proven quality.
- Scratch-made model means it's not a lazy port; it's built from the ground up for Fallout: New Vegas.
- Covers both the standard Chinese Pistol and the unique Zhu-Rong, so you get consistent visuals across the board.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012—might not play nice with newer mods or DLC that touch the same assets.
- No gameplay changes; if you're looking for a damage or handling tweak, this isn't it.
- Only replaces two weapons—if you wanted a full Mauser pack with multiple variants, you'll need to look elsewhere.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a more historically accurate and visually appealing Chinese Pistol without altering gameplay. If you're a collector of Millenia's high-quality weapon mods or just want your sidearm to look less toy-like, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're after new weapons or stat changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a replacer, it will overwrite the original Chinese Pistol model—make sure you back up your game's Data folder if you want to revert.
- If you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer 2, just drop the mod in and activate it; load order shouldn't matter for a simple replacer.
- Check if you have other mods that alter the Chinese Pistol—they might conflict, so load this one last or use a compatibility patch if needed.
