📋 About This Mod
This is a mod you have probably seen before by Doom which is a great mod.

I'm not trying to just copy that but do it differently.
The differences:
NEW WEAPON TYPE
It's no longer a bolt action weapon and the hammer has been removed. It isn't Semi automatic like the 10mm either. It's an inbetween of the two which is why I think it's a good edition to a playthrough. You can fire again when the light is green.
CUSTOM ANIMATIONS
These compliment the above. The reload time has been reduced and the light now changes from green to yellow when reloading.
MODS
I've added a reflex sight and the second trigger can be removed. I've added some materials and a grip which make it look more Blade Runner I think.
LEVEL LISTS (OPTIONAL)
It will appear on High Level Gunners and in KL-E-0's shop.
CREDIT
All credit to Doom, the original artist Escargot at GameBanana and Kelleth for the reload sound.
This mod adds the 5.56mm Pistol from Fallout New Vegas into Fallout 4. It's a straightforward weapon port for fans of the classic pistol, with a solid endorsement count and high download numbers, though it hasn't been updated since 2020.
