📋 About This Mod
Adds a portable GAU-8.
FIXED AND UPDATED
Have you ever wanted to hear the sweet sound of 3,900 rounds per minute?
Or melt your enemies in the blink of an eye?
Perhaps you just want to hear a good brrrrrrt
Wait no longer. I present to you, the portable GAU-8 Avenger.
You can find it in the Megaton Armory.
---Details---
-Larger Barrel than the minigun
-It shoots 65 rps compared to the minigun's 20 rps
-Same damage per round as the minigun
-Same spread as the minigun
-GAU-8 sound effect when firing
-Magazine capacity is capped at 255 in the game files so it's maxed out.
-Damage effect set to explosive so get ready to see lots of dismemberment. (does not affect damage).
-The bullet visual is not 5mm with tracer, but rather shotgun bullets. (does not affect damage)
The tracers created a stream of yellow which I didn't like too much.
I thought this change with the bullets made it look more realistic.
