AER15 Modern Laser Assault Rifle

Ever wanted laser guns in your game to look more like weapons and less like bricks? Or perhaps you (like me) just have a stockpile of fusion cells collecting dust in your home plate because vanilla laser guns just not worth it? I have something for you then.

While AER9 was perfectly reliable and sturdy platform, its ergonomics and overall convenience of use was still far from ideal. In early 2077 a prototype replacement has been presented to the Army by General Atomics corporation. This modern design, highly modular laser weapon system successfully passed all trials and it was about to enter mass production stage to completely replace old AER9s, but it never happened because of the bombs. However, a decent amount of new laser rifles has been manufactured before the apocalypse (even with some variations like special DMR modification), so this new weapon managed to make its way to 23th century instead of being lost in time.

Now before you proceed to features...

Well it's been a while since I released this mod and asked you for support here. I was amazed by amount of people who cared about me and the situation I found myself in.

I want to say a big thank you to everyone who supported me, your help really gave me some light in the end of the tunnel and with it I will most likely be able to get rid of my financial issues at the end of 2021 - I'm really looking forward to it.

Also realizing there's people really willing to support someone who doing something they like encouraged me to open a Patreon page. Of course, as I said earlier, my weapon mods won't be paywalled ever. Patreon page is just a convenient way to support my work for people who willing to do so, and they can get early access to beta builds while the weapon is in development and influence the development via direct contact and voting polls.

Now back to the mod description.
