📋 About This Mod
Introduction
The AMT Automag III was designed by Harry Sanford and produced by the Arcadia Machine Tool company in the early 1990s, after which production was handed to Galena Industries. There were five 'variants' of the Automag pistol, the original being the famous gas-operated . 44 AMP used by Clint Eastwood in the Dirty Harry film "Sudden Impact" and having little to do mechanically with the other four. There are plenty of mods already on the nexus of the original Automag, but none of the later models. Until now, of course.
Mechanically, the Automag III is nearly identical to a 1911. It operates on a short-recoil, tilting-barrel type configuration. The Automag III was chambered in . 30 Carbine and 9mm Winchester Magnum, but neither of those are in vanilla New Vegas. However, 9mm Win Mag is ballistically identical to . 357 Magnum, and it essentially a rimless version of it, so the in-game gun is chambered in . 357. All Automag pistols were made of high-quality stainless steel, so it is very likely that at least a few would survive the war in almost pristine condition.
