✨ Key Features

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 661 endorsements and over 25k downloads.
  • ESPless means no plugin slot usage, reducing load order conflicts.
  • Fixes a specific gameplay gap for cowboy fans who want shotgun variety.

⚠️ Cons

  • Niche fix—only affects the cowboy's weapon list, so if you don't play that class, it's useless.
  • Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter the same form list—no compatibility notes given.
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who main the cowboy and want to use sawed-off and double-barreled shotguns without needing to switch weapons. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who wants more shotgun options on the cowboy, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't play the cowboy or prefer gameplay overhauls.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips
