[size="3"]INTRODUCTION[/size]

If you're like me you love explosives! I especially looked forward to the opportunity to use Grenade Launchers when Fallout: New Vegas came out. However, I was very disappointed in their actual functionality in terms of game play. The Grenade Rifle with the long barrel mod was much better for me in terms of range, but I hated it being a one shot only weapon. This mod seeks to combine the aspects that I liked from both weapons into one unique Grenade Launcher.

[size="3"]DESCRIPTION[/size]

BOOM BOOM - Unique Grenade Launcher with custom texture darkened significantly from the vanilla texture. Without the Catalyst mod described below, it's stats are almost identical to the vanilla Grenade Launcher. The only changes are that it holds 6 rounds instead of 4, it is more durable due to a modest increase in health, and it's value is higher than the vanilla weapon. I didn't want to boost its damage stats due to balance concerns. (NOTE: As I mentioned above, I only took the vanilla texture and darkened it up a lot. Unfortunately that's about as skilled as I am with textures. However, if a talented texture artist would like to work up something more unique for me, I would be happy give you the credit and use it! Just post me a message and I'll tell you what I'm looking for.)

BOOM BOOM GAS CATALYST MOD - Adds a new chamber to the weapon increasing it's range 100%. Again, in an attempt to strike a reasonable balance, the mod DOES NOT alter damage stats, it ONLY increases it's range. I used the exact same projectile speed effect that the extended barrel mod for the Grenade Rifle uses, so I don't really feel it's too terribly unbalanced. (I never understood why we got a mod for the rifle but not the launcher anyway, lol.) However, if you feel this added range makes the weapon unbalanced I gave you the choice so you don't have to add it to your weapon if you don't want to.

40mm NUKA GRENADE - New 40mm Grenade designed very similar to the "Nuka Grenade" from Fallout 3 with a smaller burst radius. These grenades will probably be considered by some as overpowered or unbalanced and I'm totally fine with that. It is set up as such that you can use them if you want to, or simply don't buy them or take them out of containers if you find them. They can be fired by Boom Boom or any vanilla Grenade Launcher. They are added mostly for fun, as sometimes I just want to go blow up some stuff for the hell of it. They should be fairly rare as I only added them to 3 or 4 leveled lists.

[size="3"]ISSUES OR BUGS[/size]

For some strange reason, the Catalyst Mod was removed from the version I originally uploaded. I guess I deleted it somehow by accident, lol. If you didn't have one on the shelf by the launcher, please download the file again and you should be OK. Also I added the Form Id's just below the description above.
