📋 About This Mod
27/03 - NPC support added for Lore Friendly Guns Version
Uses SPID to distribute NPC friendly pistols to the relevant NPCs. These NPC guns are flagged as non-playable, but NPCs using them will drop the player version of the guns.
26/03 - Flintlock Pistols for Adventurers Released!
Uses soul gem splinters as ammo, which can be crafted at a forge with soul gems filled to their maximum capacity (EG, a common soul gem filled with a common soul, a grand soul gem filled with a grand soul, etc).
The guns meant for NPCs from the original mod remain mostly unchanged. I only increased the charging times to keep NPC firing rates consistent with the player's firing rate.
Reloading Functionality
Adds a reloading hotkey (customizable through MCM) to the pistols from the Lore Friendly Guns of Skyrim mod. Each shot will now consume a full charge from the pistols' enchantments (with two exceptions) and the reload hotkey can be used to recharge the guns, while consuming bullets from the player's inventory. The bullet crafting recipe has also been changed to yield more bullets per recipe (12 bullets).
Here is a quick demonstration of the functionality.

Other Features
and Changes
A few other changes have been made to the original mod in order to better suit the script's mechanics:
-Lore Friendly Guns: The crossbow reloading sound effect that played each time the player fired a pistol has been removed, since the reloading hotkey plays its own reloading sound effect.
-Lore Friendly Guns: The generic firebolt sound effect from the gunshots has been replaced with custom flintlock gunshot sounds. The silenced pistol has its own separate sound effect, too.
-Lore Friendly Guns: The descriptions of the enchantments have also been tweaked. This was done mainly to remove the 'Maximum Capacity' information referring to the mod's original mechanics, but some consistency changes have also been made.
Known Issues and Limitations
-In some rare situations, you might become unable to reload. To fix it, simply shoot any loaded gun
This mod adds a reloading hotkey and mechanic to the pistols from Lore Friendly Guns of Skyrim, consuming charges and bullets. It includes SPID-based NPC support, new flintlock pistols for adventurers using soul gem splinters as ammo, and various sound and description tweaks. For players wanting a more immersive gunplay experience.
