The laser pistol... sadly we don't get an iron sights with it. I've thrown together a fairly quick but still aesthetic iron sight for the Laser Pistol, and got it working... with some caveats.

I had to change the firing animation to the plasma pistol so there would be proper animations while aiming downsight. As such, the beam will now "jump" off the target. Don't worry, you'll still hit to the best of your skill level/weapon condition.

I have yet to find a laser rifle to see if it has working ironsights. If not... then I'll mod it too.

You have done this community a great favor, good sir. :thumbsup: I recently got a laser pistol but never wanted to use the damn thing because it didn't have iron sights. I hate the non-iron sight aiming system of Fallout 3.

Thank you for making me actually want to use my laser pistol. :celebration:

Laser rifle does not have iron sights unfortunately. Great mod, seems like such an over site to just leave certain guns without iron sights.

I woke up in the middle of the night to get a drink and had an idea to fix the laser jumping. It tests out in-game. It still has caveats, but its jumpiness is all but gone now. What did I do? I set it up to technically be an automatic weapon. And true enough, it'll fire continually as long as it has ammo and you hold down the trigger. But I slowed it down to about the same firing rate

I did it because I remember the recoil in the laser pistol with AutoFire mods in FO3's Weapon Mod Kits mod by Antistar hardly recoiled at all.

The animations are slightly twitchy, but it fires without jumping (I tested it with full true auto, and I only saw drift caused by my E-weaps skill being <40) and even keeps sighted downrange without recoil.

*EDIT* I didn't test the reload anim. And of course it's messed up now. Dagnbbit! Looking for a fix...

*EDIT 2*: Fixed! I now have images to show it's shooting fully on-target and also not jumping anymore.

*EDIT 3*: After actually using it in combat, it was a pain to aim. So I fixed it up even more. New screenies in the OP. All uploaded too.

coolio getting it.

You forgot to change the unique laser pistol "Pew Pew" [WeapNVLaserPistolUnique], but it has a different fire mode then ordinary laser pistols so it might not be possible to do without getting the jumping after firing.
