About this mod
A pack that fully overhauls the majority of machinist animations. Giving them a shotgun like feel for now... yet later will include a carbine and even pistol style

KICOTEK MACHINIST ANIMATION OVERHAUL
w/ Kicotek Lore Accurate 'Modern' Machinist Weaponry

A very long time making this mod pack and yet I still felt I was horrifically slow with making it. A pack literally born from me custom tailoring a shirt only made for males... to females and upon seeing a glock on it. I thought of how it'd be so great if there was lore accurate alternatives instead. From this I made three weapon with all my lacking knowledge in blender... and then... started making associated animations to work with it.
During this I also worked on the Skelomae devkit and discovered how to properly manipulate skeletons which has allowed me to add custom skeletons to the guns themselves as well! Allowing the magazine to be removable on the carbine and even allow the hammer to be movable on the pistol as well... but I'll experiment with the possibilities of this at a later date
ANYWAY! Enough of my story. This pack, or rather pack(s), contains a full slew of animations for shotguns currently... and just a little bit for the carbine. The weaponry pack containing the associated three weapons I have made as well. Fully functioning as they are and ready for use out and about.
Do be aware the weapons themselves replace the steel-barreled musketoon a level 34 machinist weapon buyable at any city-state weapons dealer.
Now due to the packs themes of being much more lore accurate. I introduce an entire passage of lore! Be prepared for an incredibly long and possibly boring set of letters arranged to form sentences!
------------------------------------
KICOTEK
Objects made under Kicotek are guaranteed to be made from fully salvaged allagan and magitek parts. Fully repurposed, reused, and compatible with other machinations that use the very same parts.
Despite the salvaged nature of the parts these objects are often exceptionally functional with only a few minor bugs or faults that should never come back to harm the user when used correctly. Anyone skilled with allagan or magitek equipment will have minor troubles properly understanding how these objects work initially but an expert will likely figure it all out with ease. However, due to the nature of the creator of Kicotek, Kicotek equipment is not quite widespread as of now since the maker does not and can not mass produce them.
------------------------------------
KICOTEK PRT-CRBN (Prototype Carbine) (PCRBN)
The PRT-CRBN is a Kicotek special, having both rifling and aetherfocuser all along the barrel to work with both traditional and aether cartridges. The default configuration is built for better use in closer engagements while the specially carved ridges along the outside of the barrel were made to allow the user to extend it out, along with adjustable stock, to better facilitate much longer range engagements with reasonable accuracy. To facilitate such abilities the PCRBN comes with both screwed on metal sights as well as a built secondary attachment that allows one to take the metal sights off and instead screw on a scope to magnify targets at a distance.
------------------------------------
KICOTEK PRT-STG (Prototype Shotgun) (PSTG)
An extremely modified and salvaged rifle combining both magitek and allagan machinery in that trademark way only know by Kicotek. This particular model is far more meant for closer ranges, featuring a barrel without full rifling but instead much better reinforcements to handle the larger power traditional and aether shells it is built to fire. The heat generated by such a task is further mitigated by an aetherchemical cooling loop built along and around the barrel on the inside with viewports along it to determine just how functional the cooling loop currently is, blue means its fine and red means it might be time to lay off a bit or simply a byproduct of firing off a supercharged shell. While purposefully overheating the barrel can often result in sought after effects, it is recommended to only ever intentionally overheat the barrel for short periods at a time as continuous overheating can result in failures such as misfires, minor explosions, or chemical burns. Catastrophic failure of the device only ever occurring if the device was continually misused without allowing it to cool down.
Some prefer to hack or otherwise take off the stock yet it is very much advised against doing this unless planning to use lower powered cartridges or shells because the recoil this gun produces is... very well known. Another home made modification that's found some popularity is a shell holder built onto the side of the gun but this modification is never done by the maker.
------------------------------------
KICOTEK PRT-PST (Prototype Pistol) (PPST)
The PRT-PST gives off many of the design choices of its larger brother, the PSTG, yet the inner workings are shifted around to facilitate a smaller size and its purpose no longer fully suits the use of larger shells, being built to fire much smaller traditional and aether cartridges over a decent distance with its now rifled barrel. Despite this, the PPST is fully capable of firing shells just like its bigger brother yet often at the immediate regret of the wielder due to the lacking recoil control. While its size may lead one to be concerned with the heat generated by doing such a thing, the lacking capacity ensures the gun is sufficiently cooled off in between the need to reload with the PPST only being able to realistically hold one larger shell normally and two if the user wishes to disable the safety functions of the device.
While the abbreviated name of the device is akin to a common mocking sound made towards miqo'te, the rumors that miqo'te particularly favor this model over others are completely unfounded.
