So this mod add in total:
. 223 Pistol; The Classic Fallout 1/2 pistol, using the original sprite as a basis.
A popular modification made from a bolt action rifle by a farmer during the food/energy shortages in the US, the idea would later caught on by many farmers pre or post war to defend themselves. Kindle the interest for a rifle round in pistol form. A small company made the first batch of prototypes for commercial sale. Later they would be stripped of the rights by lawyer shenanigans done by the revolver company. No matter what, people would always create copycats of this model.
PKD 2019; The one that inspired it all.
First mass produced generation, made ready for commercial sale, used by some LAPD detectives, "but you can call it the Steyr Pflager Katsumata D Series 2019 if you really want to..." - A. V.. Some believe that the new design was more form over function, and the new price tag was more, than buying both the bolt action rifle and the revolver combined.
Only police departments, private security firms and gun enthusiasts would buy the new model. Also users where unhappy by the change in the reloading mechanism, the company opting for an electromagnetic retainer due to South West Commonwealth, State of California regulations. This model introduced the harmonic energy modulator on the upper, for neutralizing electronic devices.
Bulldog PKD; A famous fan poker variant of the PKD.
A more lighter and compact PKD. Some on the ground detectives where annoyed by the overly bulky design of the regular PKD, considerable modifications were made to mitigate felt recoil, but even then, detectives where fine to sacrifice comfort for some great firepower.
Due to its size, aftermarket modules cannot be attached to the battery compartment, when asked about it the CEO would say, "listen pal, if you people need your gizmos adding weight and complexity to the firearm, you can buy the previous model instead. Okay? You think you want them, but you really don't" - Larry Pride, 2064. This model was deemed a commercial failure later by the company.
556 Pistol; The one from New Vegas, the regular 556 pistol Gun Runner Arsenal (GRA) variant and That Gun[
