Made and cleaned with FO4 Edit
This mod removes the pasta weapon, ammo, magazines, and parts, well as limiting the weapon to Raider and Gunner bosses, a possible drop from legendary actors. It has been removed from all shops and stats altered to be not so overpowered. Weight and recoil increased.
(Dieser Mod entfernt die Nudelwaffe, Munition, Magazine und Teile und beschränkt die Waffe auf Raider- und Gunner-Bosse, ein möglicher Abfall von legendären Schauspielern. Es wurde aus allen Geschäften entfernt und die Statistiken wurden geändert, um nicht so überfordert zu sein. Gewicht und Rückstoß erhöht.)
Real World Origin:
The MG 42 (shortened from German: Maschinengewehr 42, or "machine gun 42") is a 7. 92×57mm Mauser general-purpose machine gun designed in Nazi Germany and used extensively by the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS during the second half of World War II. It was intended to replace the earlier MG 34, which was more expensive and took much longer to produce, but both weapons were produced until the end of the war. Designed to be low-cost and easy to build, the MG 42 proved to be highly reliable and easy to operate. It is most notable for its very high cyclic rate for a gun using full power service cartridges, averaging about 1,200 rounds per minute compared to around 850 for the MG 34, and perhaps 450 to 600 for other common machine guns like the M1919 Browning or Bren. This ability made it extremely effective in providing suppressive fire, and its unique sound led to it being nicknamed "Hitler's Buzzsaw".
