Pistol Suggestions

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 10:00 am

While toying around with the idea of a chemical plasma shell fired from a bullet round, sort of like the UV rounds from the Underworld movies, I half-heartedly threw this pistol together to see what I could come up with. Turns out the darn thing is pretty fun to mow things down with. So now I'm wondering if I should keep it, maybe replace the chinese pistol it's using at the moment with something else, something a little more modern looking. I'm unsure so I thought I'd throw it out, maybe get some feedback on what would be cool, or if it's even worth the time investment.

Okay, I tried your gun out. It had me laughing a bit, though I might be a sick puppy. I think its a little over powered. Outside of VATS is fires nicely, but inside it acts a bit funny. I used VATS to shoot once at Moira's guard and once at Moria, so it unleashed a volley of maybe 10 rounds at the guard and then 10 more at Moira. As her head started to fly off, the player reloaded and unleashed another maybe 10 rounds at her severed head as it flew across the room, all this while in VATS. It does seem to fire off more rounds than the clip can hold during VATS, but eventually the reload anims do kick in. It certainly gives more use to the Chinese pistol that I would normally sell right away. But, yeah, its worth keeping around, if that's what your asking.

*laughs* Thanks man. Yeah, I should have mentioned that most of the enemies in my mod are beefed up quite a bit, so I'm guessing it's all relative on that one. The VATS thing.. I don't know. I suspect it's due to it being set to long burst instead of short burst. I'll have to test that one later to see if I can correct that. And yes, what had you laughing is pretty much what I meant when I said it was fun to mow people down with *evil grin*. I should've called it the "delimbinator" or something more appropriate. I was really just wondering if it had enough merit to justify spending the time it would take to swap out the model for it, and what any suggestions might be for that.. I'm not fond at all of the chinese pistol looks, so that would change if I kept it in the weapon lineup.
