Overview

Another military rifle? Why yes, but this time there's a twist: This one is made from iron pipe, rust, and sheer willpower!

This weapon was created in response to a dozen other military rifles and AR mods. Unlike what others think, I (original author Spadey, the same below) consider this game as an early game replacement with low requirements and sub-par performance, but still has stable and destructive firepower.

content

The iron-barreled carbine is chambered in .223, but can be converted to use the more powerful 5.56.

It will start spawning at level 8, as will any iron pipe weapon.

The Iron Barrel Carbine has a large number of attachments, making it extremely customizable. There are 56 attachments in total:

Receivers - All 14 standard iron barrel gun receivers

Barrels - Standard, Assault, Cutting, Heavy, Recoil Compensating, Marksman

Stocks - Standard, Pistol, Light, Heavy, Martian, Recoil Compensated

Magazines - small, medium, box, drum (+ quick eject variant)

Sights - Carrying handle, notch, reflex, improved reflex, three scopes (standard, night vision, recon) in three zooms

Muzzle - bayonet, triangular bayonet, compensator, muzzle brake, silencer

Ammunition Types -.223 and 5.56

Unique Edition

There is a special version in the module - Security Violation



It has a modified barrel that allows the entire nail gun to be mounted on the receiver, and a battery instead of a traditional magazine. While it does less damage than a regular rifle, it has a high rate of fire, bleed damage, and an innate silencer.

This gun is located on the table next to the stronghold workshop at the Blackwater Works site.

The second unique version is - Grizzly Reminder

It uses .45-70 ammo and ignores 50% of armor

The gun is located in Rocky Narrows Park, on a carcass next to a "Don't Feed the Bears" sign

compatibility

This mod should not conflict with any other mods. However, it will be affected by the re-texturing of the original weapon, as it reuses the Pipe, Combat Shotgun, and Research Institute textures. I highly recommend gmoi6's new texture for the iron pipe gun.

There are no DLC requirements, but this mod requires ammo - Ammo Expansion Item for .223 caliber and unique ammo

The mod file is also marked as ESL so it doesn't take up a plugin slot.
