The VAHAN rifle is an Armenian based rifle that is making its way into the Commonwealth. A very interesting weapon that only appeared in 1 game. Cod. . . No, this isn't a CoD port either. If you count Cadavver's mod, that would make it the second game it appears in! I (original author Diakyuto, the same below) used to like using it, but honestly, it is combined with hope. Dreams and idk what else. On a technical level, this is bad. I admitted it, and so did Cadavver. So let's bring the weapons back.

The VAHAN appears in Fallout 4 as the V52 assault rifle. In terms of balance, this is balanced and a bridge from a 5.56 rifle (like the R91 or Chinese AR) to a 7.62 AK or HMAR. You can change ammo by changing the magazine. Therefore, there is no rapid magazine. But reloading was added a bit to make it less cumbersome to use. It uses a radium rifle sighting model so it still kicks like a mule. Also replaced most of the assets with ones I personally use in my mods.

From a technical perspective.

I re-exported the textures, cleaned up the mesh, new sounds and cleaned up the sprites. They are now in one neat human sprite file instead of 2. PA works right out of the box. With the perms turned on, you can use it on something like Taco's AK pack if it's not already standalone.

Can be obtained from this Mod:

Automatic receiver + hardened fast receiver

5 types of stocks

5 barrels (2 of which are foregrip variants)

6 magazines (4 5.56/5.45 magazines, 2 7.62 magazines)

7 muzzle device

4 reflex sights

2 combat sights

6 range

Various material exchanges.

Ammunition plugin provided.

Where can I find it?

They spawn on level 18 Automatic Raiders, Minutemen, and Gunners. If they didn't use automatic weapons, it probably wouldn't have a V52.
