📋 About This Mod
Edits "dismember" and "explode" for most Vanilla "small-Caliber/Energy" Guns and some Mod-added Weapons!
Aware: If you change a weapon caliber, the gun does its Vanilla-effect until you save/reload with the new caliber.
Less Dismember and Explode:
[]pretty all ballistic guns cant explode (just dismember), except some heavy Machineguns, Turrets and .cal 50
[]most smaller single shot ballistic guns cant dismember or explode, except Shotguns, some Automatic-Rifles, "bigger" Snipers and Miniguns
[]also energy weapons are restricted, only some "heavy" and Turrets can dismember
[]grenades only can cause "explode" if they are meant to do so (no EMP, Smoke etc.)
=> most smaller Guns/Pipe/single-Shot Firearms do "nothing"
=> Shotguns, Sniper, Automatic-Rifles will "dismember"
=> Bigger Energy-Guns + Turrets + explosive-Grenades can "explode"
Less Dismember and noExplode:
same as above, but explode was changed to dismember
noDismember and noExplode:
no Gun or Grenade can Dismember or Explode
Added guns = see Sticky in Comments
