📋 About This Mod
This is a simple mod that removes the scopes from the normally scoped . 44 magnums, and changes the name of the weapon accordingly. I thought it was kind of weird that every . 44 in the wasteland had a scope attached to it. Well, no longer! After all, that one mysterious fellow can\'t be the only guy in the whole world with a non-scoped . 44 revolver! The Blackhawk stays exactly the same, scope and all. It is special, after all. Now the difference between the two weapons is more than just damage. ~~Complete List of Changes~~ -Removed the scope in 1st/3rd person view duh! -Removed scope zoom function, now zooms in like the 10mm/Chinese/. 32 pistols. -Changed Pipboy icon to the . 32 revolver. -Changed name to \". 44 Magnum\". NEW IN VERSION 1. 1! -Reduced AP cost from 32 to 24. NEW IN VERSION 1. 2! -Reduced range from 1500 to 800. NEW IN VERSION 1. 3! -Fixed an issue with the \"zoom\" function and the player\'s hands not gripping it properly, etc. ~~List of Stuff I Didn\'t Change~~ -The Blackhawk. At all. Nothing, I swear! -Textures. I didn\'t change any textures. Have fun making punks feel lucky!
A tiny weapon tweak that strips the scopes off the standard .44 Magnums, giving you a clean iron-sight revolver look. For Fallout 3 players who prefer classic styling over the vanilla scoped model. Simple, effective, and community-tested with 401 endorsements.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an old mod, make sure to place the .esp file in your Data folder and enable it in the launcher's load order.
- If you have the GOTY edition, test it early in the game—older mods can conflict with DLC weapons.
- Use a mod manager like FOMM to avoid overwriting other weapon mods.
