also for people wanting this as a port to FNV here are links to 3 FNV shotgun mods that have a simillar look and reloading action:
the TOZ 66 : https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/56378 (even spread/ good firing and reload sound, slightly weak but a good first weapon) this is the mod which closest looks simillar to this amazing mod btw
the Winchester 1887: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/71595 (a retexture for the leaver action shotgun, texctures are VERY shiny and all versions can be found on Raiders also suffers the afore mentioned floating above the left hand in first person issue)
The Bull : https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/77617 (saved the best for last as this is without a doubt the BEST shotgun mod for FNV; the "base version" is OP and the "raging" version aka the fancy gold inlaid version is even more OP but considering where you get it from that's understandable. fits nicely in the left hand in first person although the fingers on the right hand clip slightly into the barell and the firing sound can seam slightly mutted for the type of weapon it is.
BOTH the TOZ and The Bull are double canter lever shotguns while the 1887 is a lever / pump action but all three are without a doubt the BEST shotgun mods for FNV and worth any serious shotgun build using them
while the dam of both shotguns is a little weak thats more of a personal pref and easy to change in GECK this is without a doubt the BEST and most REALISATIC shotgun for FO3. it looks like a double canter leaver shotgun and although the texture is a little shiny and a more matt black and worn wood stock would be a nice addition this is still better than the base game combat shotgun. the firing and reloading sounds are nice and chunky without being OP sounding and the hand placement in both first person and third person on both full and sawn-off versions are good as the right hand doesn't clip through the barell or have the left hand lower causing the gun to "float" like on the leaver action shotguns in FNV. the only thing missing is seeing the spent shells being expelled after each reload but that's a small thing easy to over look
saying that anything is better than the ugly base game combat shotgun which makes no sense (the ammo drum is almost at the end of the barrel on the base game combat shotgun meaning your shells are literally front end loaded needing a long firing pin to expell them aka NOT a shotgun)
just to be clear on this point: a shotgun is either a canter leaver (known as a breach loading shotgun as you break it open or "breach it" to reload it) aka external firing hammers you cock before each shot OR a pump/ lever action shotgun which manually pushes each shell into the barrel so the internal firing hammer can strike the shell. the front drum fed combat shotgun makes no sense as there is NOTHING to hit the shell to expell it from the barell.
for any serious shotgun build this is a more realistic shotgun and while slightly under powered is a fine early tomid game weapon. a solid 8 out of 10 (full 10 if there was a patch for a more worn texture to it)
Will the meshes still work if i use download with manager option instead of download manually because all of my weapon mods have messed ups textures and meshes when i use the download with manager option ?
