A new plasma pistol based on Hancock's concept art. Uses Alien Blaster animations and Plasma Cartridge ammo.

background:

After capturing Adams Air Force Base in 2277, the Brotherhood of Steel found themselves in possession of a vast arsenal of Enclave plasma weapons. These were quickly integrated into their armory and passed on to scribes for study and improvement. Due to its excellent weight-to-power ratio, the Enclave plasma pistol is found to be the preferred choice for long-range patrols, especially those without powered armor. However, it was quickly discovered that the fragile construction of this weapon was not capable of handling repeated combat engagements without the opportunity for modification.

The Brotherhood's scribes set out to solve this problem by encasing much of the pistol's mechanics in a sturdy casing. In the process, they discovered they could increase the weapon's power by allowing for larger shots. Engineers increased the size of the compressor to allow more plasma to escape with each injection. It had devastating effects at the expense of efficiency and range. To ensure the weapon maintains its original functionality, they developed an auxiliary compressor attachment that gives soldiers the choice of an efficient main arm or a powerful backup arm. Thus, the Advanced Plasma Pistol was born.

In the early days, before Arthur Maxson took over, the weapon was issued almost exclusively to long-range patrols sent to the east coast. At some point during his reorganization, the decision was made to simply integrate the weapons into the standard arsenal, while adding more attachment options. Today, it is primarily found within the ranks of the Brotherhood, but a few have infiltrated the wasteland.

How Hancock got his hands on the ammunition remains a mystery, but he's been without them for a long time...

compatibility

There should be no compatibility issues with the standard version. Replacements may conflict with mods that make changes to the plasma gun or its pistol grip parts.

Known issues

-Slight mold penetration occurred during the reload animation. You probably won't notice it unless you look for it.

-For some reason the collision is just a big box and there's no way to fix it, but it doesn't break the game. If anyone has a solution please let me know.

-New projectiles used with accelerator barrels often appear to originate above the barrel. I've seen this problem before with my Electrolasers mod. It seems to be inherent to certain projectile grids and not unique to this mod. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to obscure your view like a regular muzzle flash does.

-Admittedly, this grid is a bit messy, but it shouldn't cause any problems.
