Hello Nexus!
I've got tired of massive and bulky vanilla energy weapons. In most of my playthroughs I've used conventional guns and every time I tried to equip energy weapon I felt like my character is about to trip over it, not to mention aiming and shooting.
So I've came up with the project of modular energy gun which will contain laser, gauss and plasma modules in one weapon - in the scale of typical conventional rifle, more or less.
I've started it in early January and I knew nothing about creating anything for this game, just some tricks about 3D modelling. I've got another branch of this project on the side, called "Modular Energy Weapon", but it's bullpup and requires brand-new animations (it was the first one, actually) which I will figure out later.
So I've picked up a layout of the vanilla Plasma gun (to fit its animations) and made something I've called
Modular Infantry Energy Rifle
