Adds a Makeshift Nailgun to Fallout 4, part of the Unique Weapons Concept sub-project within C.S.E.P.

With 1,407 endorsements and 197,102 downloads, it's a popular choice for players seeking lore-friendly, improvised firearms.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,407 endorsements and nearly 200k downloads.
- Fills a niche for mid-tier, improvised weapons that feel at home in the wasteland.
- Part of a larger project (C.S.E.P.) so you might get more content if you follow the series.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2023 — might have compatibility issues with newer game patches or DLC.
- Only a single weapon, so if you're expecting a pack, this is just one piece.
For Fallout 4 players who love lore-friendly, scrappy weapons that don't look like pristine prewar gear. If you're into settlement building and role-playing as a survivor who cobbles together tools, this is right up your alley. Skip if you want high-tech or energy weapons — this is pure wasteland ingenuity.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a weapon mod, make sure you have the necessary DLC or game version that matches the mod's last update (2023) to avoid crashes.
- Check your load order — place this mod after any overhaul mods that might change weapon lists to ensure it appears correctly.
- If you can't find the nailgun, try using the console command 'help nailgun 4' to locate its ID, then 'player.additem' to spawn it.
