📋 About This Mod
Replaces de ridiculous ".32 Caliber" into the more reasonable .38 Special cartridge
If you know a bit of guns, you cringe terrible at Bethesda's ". 32 Caliber" round. and if you pay attention, the ammo box model its based on ammo from from the late 1800s? (. 32 S&W Short) one would think at least they had . 32 ACP in mind.
Anyways, enough ranting.
This mod alters how it looks in the game so it shows as . 38 special, with a proper ammo box and Pipboy icon.
You will need the "ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated" for it to work properly
besides the ammo, it also makes some changes on the ammo names for (in my personal opinion) more proper names
Replaces all projectiles too, for proper models (if you downloaded my "better projectiles" mod, use this one's .esp instead, after pasting the files)
(If you don't want the following changes, you can use the secondary esp. It still includes the Scoped . 38 revolver tho...because why not? heh)
other changes:
. 32 pistol > . 38 Revolver (with buffed damage so its actually useable [ Damage 20] )
Chinese pistol uses proper casings and damage buff (so it is a pea shooter no more )
Hunting rifle and it's unique variant expel the proper . 38 caliber casing
A Scoped . 38 Revolver. you can find at the Robco Facility on a working bench (a proper replacement when the hunting rifle seems outclassed
INSTALLATION: Just copy the contents of ". 38 replacer" folder into your data folder and activate the .esp
