📋 About This Mod
I was playing a new character to test another mod I was working on and I realized that the handrail thing on the bottom of the long barrel for the laser rifle bugged me, especially when used with pistols. I decided to hop into 3ds max and pump out this little bundle of joy so that I could have nice practical looking laser rifles.
This mod replaces the vanilla mesh for the laser rifle barrel.
