📋 About This Mod
A note to start,
This mod wouldn't exist if Scottina, the author of Project Variety and many other great mods, hadn't asked me to design some weapons to use in PV. Tip of the hat to them for getting the ball rolling and ideas flowing.
Also if you have the latest update of Project Variety then you don't need to download this mod. Everything in this mod is already in PV and this is only here for folks who don't already have that mod installed.
Ok now to the fun stuff! What this mod includes:
-
[]A new SMG named the Bishamon (Purchased at the Spectres' Store)
[
]3 round burst fire mode followed by an armor piercing projectile with every trigger squeeze. Think Bloodpack punisher with better recoil[]Custom weapon animations for drawing and storing your weapon
[]Custom muzzle flash
[]Custom flavor text at the shop, weapon bench, notifications and so on
[]Custom Icons for the weapon and weapon bench huds
[]Compatible with Mistyvail's More Weapon Mods to provide custom attachments, more weapon mod choices, and fun toys like the laser pointer and ammo counter
[]Weapon upgrade levels can be purchased at the upgrade vendors.
Functions just like the other default SMG's available in the game:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fits right in with the Turian weapon lineup—if you're a fan of that sleek, angular design, this is a no-brainer.
- Decent traction for a niche weapon mod: 64 endorsements and 2,496 downloads show people are using it.
- Lightweight addition—just a new gun, no gameplay overhaul, so it won't mess with your balance.
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or gameplay details in the description, so you're flying blind on how it actually looks in-game.
- Only one weapon—if you were hoping for a full Turian arsenal, this is just a single SMG.
- No compatibility notes—might clash with other weapon mods or texture overhauls, so test it out.
For Mass Effect 3 (LE3) players who want a new SMG that blends seamlessly with the Turian weapon style. If you're a collector of weapon mods or just want a fresh gun for your Turian Shepard, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for something flashy or gameplay-changing—this is a straightforward cosmetic weapon add.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're using the Legendary Edition (LE3) version of the game, not the original ME3—this mod is built for LE3.
- If you're using other weapon mods, install this one and test it in the armory to see if it conflicts visually or causes crashes.
- Check the mod's file structure—if it's a .pak file, drop it in the right folder; if it's a mod manager file, use that instead.
