"No need to destroy the bear. Just shred it with bullets." - The lonely guy with a cool coat


Since the initial support for this weapon was so positive, I've updated the mod to include 2 new uniques and some new attachment options. Enjoy!

OVERVIEW
The Lonesome Road DLC had some of the coolest weapon designs to come out of a Fallout game - one of them being the iconic Shoulder Mounted Machine Gun. Its slick design, firepower and portability made it a popular choice for crowd control in any outbreaking riots.

CONTENT
The Shoulder Mounted Machine Gun returns in the same form you find it in Lonesome Road; chambered in 10mm, having high fire rate but not beating the minigun and taking on the role of a "light" heavy weapon. It will start appearing in the world at level 20 on heavier units of Gunner Mercs and Brotherhood of Steel members. Alongside the standard weapon appearances, the mod includes 6 unique variants around the worldspace, each more unique than the next one!
The 50 attachments for the gun are all newly designed and allow the gun to be tuned to personal preference/playstyle:
 Receivers - All 8 of the standard receivers
Barrels - Standard, Short, Compact, Long, Heavy
Stocks - Standard, Compact, Marksman, Support, Recoil Compensating
Magazines - Small, Medium, big (+ quick eject variants)
Sights - Reflex sight, Standard/NV/Recon short and medium range scopes, targeting computer
Paints - Standard, Gunmetal, Institute, Shark, Union, Atom Cats, Red, Desert Camo, Woodland Camo + 2 unique specific paints
+ unique weapon modifications

UNIQUES

Spoiler:  
Show


Red Flare
Based on the Red Glare design, it's barrel is designed to shoot explosive ammunition. But this one specifically was made for parades and celebrations. As such it can be found in Jamaica Plains as one of the american souveniers.

 


Faded Glory
A special patriotically explosive variant of the SMMG was being transported to Quincy but the convoy got attacked. The hefty delivery was left behind in the glowing sea by the last remaining mercenary, who choose to come back for it when he's better prepared. However it is poorly hidden at a peak of some old runned down highway.





HotRod
Custom built using engine parts and engineering genious, Zeke developed the Hot Rod - a special unique that boasts extreme fire rate due to the nature of it's prominent supercahrger with double scoops.





Greed Machine

Originally mounted to a gunship, this massive gun was designed to engage in long distances, shoot down incoming projectiles with precision and extended air to air combat. Some ex mafia cop in Boston had it imported and hidden it in a police rationing site in hopes of defending his nation against the red threat but never got to experience it for himself. He eventually became overfilled with greed towards fulfilling his dream that he devoted his life filling the drum with 5.56.






+ EXTRA UPDATE UNIQUES


Tenderizer
Made as a prototype weapon by the Forged, this Shoulder Mounted ShotGun shoots highly heated birdshot, doing devastating per shot damage. While not able to super heat the bullets to set anything on fire, it can penetrate and heavily melt the armor with each molten shot, allowing for more damage with consecutive hits.






Phalanx
Made by some black Scottish cyclops, this SMMG is a little bit special. A giant Zweihander bolted onto the side and a viking shield on the front allow it's wielder to charge at the enemy at full speed and slash with extreme power!
Nudged at the top of a Norwegian freighter ship, this weapon is a threat to anyone daring enough to come close.









COMPATIBILITY
This mod shouldn't conflict with any other mod. It will however be affected by vanilla weapon retextures since it reuses textures from the hunting rifle, institute weapons and missile launcher scope.
There are no requirements for the mod, just plug n' play.
The mod file is also marked as ESL so it won't take a plugin slot.

Due to the weapon using the missile launcher as it's base, tt is also heavily recommended to download there two mods that fix some of the 3rd person movement animation issues:
Weapon Behavior Ironsights movement direction lock fixes and tweaks (3rd person)
3rd Person Directional Power Armor Vanilla Movement Fix
