📋 About This Mod

Well this weekend I'm releasing my second foray into weapon mods with this pistol that is loosely inspired by the metro series. I got the idea after using the flaregun to shoot a raider, and being thoroughly disappointed.

I invisioned this as being a good weapon for someone who wants to end a fight with the first shot. It only holds 1 round, but outdamages the double barrel. So its best to aim carefully, and try to stay within a few feet.

It can be bought from gun shops and general stores, found on raiders or people who carry double barrels, and your guardian angel left a free one on a table overlooking vault 111.

It currently cannot be modified, but I may add options such as a suppressor or receiver buffs. So please don't leave dumb comments complaining about the lack of customization.

Since I am super new at this and in general don't make patches I will not be making any patches for any mods, figure out how to do that yourself,
