📋 About This Mod
THIS FIX HAS BEEN INCORPORATED INTO UNOFFICIAL PATCH NVSE PLUS.
This file will remain here as a standalone for those that don't wish to use U. P. NVSE+ for whatever reason.

This mod provides a replacement animation for all weapons that use the 2HandLauncher Attack3 and ReloadB animations, namely Tesla Cannons, so that the back properly cycles when fired instead of remaining in a stuck position. Also included is a Scriptrunner file that will hide the cell/casing that is normally erroneously ejected per shot in the base game. The Scriptrunner is optional, but heavily recommended as it will work with every effected weapon, including modded ones.
For an example of it in action, here's a video by Hitman demonstrating it:
