📋 About This Mod
Description
The . 357 Magnum Revolver, Lucky specifically, is my favorite weapon in the game. However outside of VATS it feels pretty bad to use due to how slow even the vanilla animations are, as well as how buggy looping reloads are in general. I set out to make an anim set entirely designed around making it as fun to use as possible. As such I managed to shave over a full second from the vanilla reload times while not skipping any of the many steps required to run it correctly. You'll fire faster, reload quicker, and spend less time in bugged anim states. NPCs are unaffected by the balance changes.
Additionally, If you take the Cowboy perk you'll fan the hammer for a moderate fire rate increase.
