📋 About This Mod
My version of the 12. 7mm SMG, which I’d like to see in Fallout NV , was ported from Fallout 4 12. 7mm SMG by mod author Bwones.
The model and texture assets themselves belong to the original creator, Victor Tomioka
The current stats of the weapon are somewhat inconsistent with its visual design. In the future, an ESP version will be released to adjust the weapon's characteristics to better match its appearance.
The weapon is not intended to be realistic or logical, so there's no need to point that out.
There will be two versions of the mod:
The first one will be espless.
The second will be an ESP version with more logical stats and a slight rebalance.

MrShersh is preparing a major future update for Functional Backpack, which will include support for the updated version of NVWO Weapons Smith.
This will allow any weapon including this pistol to be modified directly via the backpack.
I hope it will be without bugs, in any case, let me know.
