Another update on my work in progress weapon mod for fallout 4: A redesign of the 12.7mm SMG from New Vegas for Fallout 4!
Finished the base textures and got started on the alternative skins for the gun. Some of these may need to be unlocked by finding schematics in the world. These are only a few of the currently planned ones, with many more to come, including factions (from Fo4 and NV) and camouflage.
Always thought this was an unfortunately unremarkable weapon, playing second fiddle to a lot of other end game automatics in the original, so I wanted to bring it to FO4 in a big way, bringing out its full potential.
As per the wiki, the weapon was based on the Kriss Vector and P90, and I've taken some inspiration from those when designing several of the parts. By swapping parts you can make it lean more towards either inspiration, or something else entirely. Beyond that, I've taken to designing some makeshift/jury-rigged parts for it since its something I really enjoy and can help make it even more customizable.
I've heard a few people questioning how the magazines are gonna work, so I'm just gonna paste the rationale for them here:
It can feed from magazines loaded at the top (P90 style) or the bottom (Vector style), ejects out the right side, and includes a dust cover to protect internals when either magazine slot is not in use.
I have planned over 50 mods for it, including a .44 receiver (the logic here being that I'm assuming 12.7mm to be equivalent to .50 AE, which has the same rim diameter as .44).
Another frequent question is about the stocks, whether there'll be a collapsed version for them:
That would cause issues such as blocking the ejection port and the magazine slot on top, so no. However, equipping any stock will have its own unique draw/holster animation which is longer, having to unfold and fold it, giving atradeoff for going stockless: You'll draw much quicker for CQB at the cost of accuracy.
Also for those concerned about file size, the skins will probably be shipped as an optional file that you can opt out of.

add to that me getting a new job and not much got done. I've been trying to find someone willing to animate this , so hopefully I'll find that soon.
Edit: Sorry for the double post. Bad internet.
Really amazing work!
