📋 About This Mod
Important update! I just found a pretty big bug with this mod. Some hands will have 0 hit chance in VATS unless you have the penetrator perk. Manual shots will still work though. Looking for a fix currently.
You can also hit their hands outside of VATS as demonstrated in the video. You'll need to either be a great shot, or be using a method to slow time, such as Jet or my VAFS mod as shown in the video. Note that this works for both left and right hands.
Enemies will be able to rearm themselves after being disarmed as with other disarm effects in game. You will be able to disarm them again if you need to.

For both LD and BtB, use the combined patch proivided. Will combine the above two patches if you have both mods.
Load WeaponDisarm.esp afer LD and BtB. Load the patches after WeaponDisarm.esp.
This mod modifies body part data. This makes it incompatible with things like Better Locational Damage, Live Dismemberment, and Below the Belt without compatibility patches.
