I've already said my thansk to you personally about this mod. But I thought I'd leave a comment on the page.
I thoroughly enjoy this mod, absolutely love it. The gun feels nicely powerful in the hand, the reload is crisp and the firing sound is nice and meaty.
As a "unique" revolver, it's amazing with the only "drawback" being the .38 bullet it uses make this gun easily spammable.
Personally I have read some think the weapon is overpowered with accuracy and range, I think they fit perfectly as this revolver is a Specialised Combat Magnum, it's designed to be incredibly accurate. I feel the revolver stats show this off perfectly.
I know you've expressed interest in redoing this mod and honestly I am incredibly excited to see what you do.
I am posting this here, so OP can see which of the below info he wants to add to the mod description as real-world lore, and hopefully it can get him some more views and downloads for this beautiful mod..
Trivia:
Did you know.. the MR73 revolver was the only weapon used by the special forces elite squad (GIGN) who stealth hit the hijackers of the Flight 8969 in Marseilles, France on 24 December, 1994, to rescue the hostages. They literally rushed the plane using nothing but six-shooters! And the firefight that then ensued inside the flight was insane! One stray bullet from the last terrorist even went inside the barrel of the MR73 of one of the GIGN operatives and created a small explosion that pushed him back!
P.S.: I saw the video of this incident on Reddit and read a comment there about the MR73 being used for this elite rescue, because "the Manurhin MR73 was the best revolver ever made". My immediate thought was "Hey, I'm sure someone would have made a nice mod for the MR73 for FO4", and that's how I landed here on this page! And boy, is this a beautiful weapon or what?!
For those of us wondering why the MR73 is considered the best, it's because...
Spoiler:
Show
French manufacturer Manurhin designed a revolver to meet the special need of firing 150 rounds of full-power Norma .357 loads daily, and the specs for the MR73 are impressive: * The factory guarantees that the impact process finished cylinder will not burst or show any bulging or deformation with .357 Magnum ammunition developing double the C.I.P. 300.00 MPa (43,511 psi) Pmax piezo pressure, meaning the cylinder can withstand 600.00 MPa (87,023 psi), or 43.5 tons per square inch). * The frame, cylinder, and barrel of the MR 73 are made from ordnance-certified, alloyed steel. Barrels are manufactured by cold-hammering. The rifling is formed during the forging process, eliminating the need to cut the rifling as a separate manufacturing step. This creates an extremely hard and microscopically smooth internal barrel surface. * During GIGN testing, the MR73 was fired 170,000 rounds with the same ammo and was still going strong when the testing was discontinued. * Still in active use, the MR73 is an essential GIGN sidearm. The unit still practices a 'trust shot' as part of new member initiations where a team member wearing body armor puts a clay pigeon over their center of mass and the newly minted GIGN operator shoots the disc from 15 yards.
That would be awsome, saving a load order spot for that version.
It would be lore-friendly also to have the only french gun next to the only french-speaking NPC in the game isolated for 200 years. For the ones who care about things like that at least...
Yeah, that was my exact intention with the placement of the initial revolver! Unfortunately a lot of people didn’t get it and couldn’t find it/ wanted a LL version, so I felt obliged to make the mod have LL integration instead of having it just be unique.
Hi, I would be very interested in having a non LL version too if it's still planned, as it would be more lore friendly, the weapon would feel more unique, and some of us have very bloated levelled lists already :)

also… if I use the official munitions patch repository and the patch by foregoneconclusion, do you know if those two patches come into conflict?

Thank you again.
Munitions is good one imo.

Great job, endorsed!

I'm having real fun with it.
BTW It would be awesome if we could get a chrome version of this! It would look fine.
