Classic Sniper Rifles

This mod adds a new 5. 56mm variant of the Sniper Rifle to the game, which resembles the \"classic\" DKS-501 from Fallout 1 and 2. I\'ve had a few requests for adding one or two more shots to the Sniper Rifle clip and/or for rechambering it to 5. 56mm or . 32. This made me think that what I really wanted was the option to use the \"classic\" Sniper Rifle from Fallout 1 and 2, which was . 223 (5. 56mm), held six shots, and looked pretty cool! Thus, I have tweaked the stats of the F3 Sniper Rifle to try and somewhat reflect the DKS-501, rechambering it to 5. 56mm, increasing the clips size to 6, and slightly reducing damage (due to the \"weaker\" ammo type, for balance). Hey, you should have to collect that rare . 308 ammo for some reason! Interestingly, Fallout 1\'s description of the DKS-501 said it was \"originally chambered for . 308\"... making me imagine that the F3 Sniper Rifle is in fact this precursor: the DKS-500? \"Classic Sniper Rifles.esp\" is the mod itself that contains the \"new\" gun. If you also activate \"Classic Sniper Rifles - Loot Tables.esp\", you won\'t have to use the console to get this gun... it will be found at some stores and in some containers. Note that while \"Classic Sniper Rifles.esp\" shouldn\'t conflict with anything, \"Classic Sniper Rifles - Loot Tables.esp\" WILL conflict with some other mods that add new items and guns to traders and enemies. This is a \"beta\" solution until the GECK is released, and/or I finished an in-progress \"Combined Loot Table\" mod I am working on, that will allow better compatibility with other mods. If you prefer to not activate the Loot Table add-on, you can still add this gun via the console, using the code: 00B50003 The new skin for this weapon was created entirely by \"Go5u\", as part of his very cool \"RezMeUp\" weapon texture mod (found here: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=344). If you like how this gun looks, please be sure to visit the original mod or PM Go5u to say thanks too! I have reduced the size of the Go5u\'s gun texture for better performance on low-end PCs. If you have a powerful computer and prefer a higher resolution version, simply download Go5u\'s original from his mod\'s page and copy it over the top of the ones in my mod\'s \"textures\" folder. Note that only the 5. 56mm (DKS-501) rifle will use Go5u\'s skin... the original Sniper Rifle will still use the original skin. Installation Note: as with any mod that contains new textures, when installing, be sure to put the included \"meshes\" and \"textures\" folders in your game\'s \"data\" folder, keeping the directory structure!
