Pipe Gun Power Pack

-= Piping hot! =-

The pipe gun concept? Is awesome! Its implementation – not so much. They're outclassed by your starter weapon from Vault 111, later on they are quickly outclassed by properly designed shooting irons, and using the Scrapper perk ain't the big game changer for them either. It also doesn't help that there are only three types of pipe weapons available in the base game in the first place (semi-auto, bolt-action and revolver), and except for the revolver, their meshes make them look like they couldn't even work, breaking your immersion.

Pipe Gun Power Pack is my personal take on these issues. Not only does it change the base weapon meshes to make them look more plausible and therefore more immersive but it also adds a few extra new subtypes of pipe weapons which all have their own little niche where they can excell well enough to keep them a viable option for a long time.

Let's start with the vanilla stuff. The meshes for both the weapon receivers and the attachments underwent a complete overhaul whenever necessary to make them look more functional (and therefore immersive). Furthermore, the stats and attribute changes were also buffed or streamlined a bit to provide a more logical system for you to mix and match the parts. The changes are as follows:

Grips and stocks

- All vanilla game full stocks were given new meshes to make them look more appealing and somewhat more sensical.

- New pistol grips and full stocks were added to provide an improvement for certain playstyles. For example, the deathclaw grip improves bash damage for pistols while the light

- full stock provides better handling for short-barreled rifles.

Muzzle attachments

- None of the muzzle attachments except for the silencer reduce the weapon range anymore (because they do not do that IRL).

- Spiked muzzle brakes now are your jack-of-all-trades (and masters in none) which provide a bit of recoil control, a bit of extra bash damage and a bit of accuracy.

- Compensators now provide the full package of recoil control and aim stability.

- Silencers simply got a more detailed model which also should obscure the sight picture a little less.

Pipe Bolt-Action receivers

The new main task for the pipe bolt-action is to provide a lightweight and cheap platform to fire cartridges you usually do not use in your main weapons and/or which are hard to come by. For this reason, the following changes were made:

- Most important fix: It finally has a visible internal mag! ^^

- Ammo capacity has been reduced from 6 to 5 as this is the amount of cartridges you l
