Wasteland Melody's Chinese Assault Rifle

Wasteland Melody's Chinese Assault Rifle

Version 1.2

Miss the classic FO3 Chinese assault rifle? Well, me too!

A reimagining of a classic Fallout 3 weapon, the Chinese Assault Rifle has been painstakingly rebuilt for Fallout 4, with dozens of new meshes and textures crafted from the ground up. Rifles come with a wide variety of models, including multiple stocks, barrels, scopes and magazines to choose from, all inspired by real-world combo weapons and redesigned for the Fallout universe. This mod also adds weapons to the appropriate level lists via script, meaning it won't conflict with mods that edit the same lists. Weapons can be found in raiders and gunners, in shops and traveling merchants, and in many unique locations hidden across the Commonwealth.

The rifle comes with the following mods:

Receiver:

• Standard (auto)
• Hardening (automatic, improves damage)
• Strong (auto, better damage)

-Advanced (auto, super damage) Marksman (semi-auto, better damage)

-Hardened Marksman (semi-auto, super damage)

• Powerful shooter (semi-automatic, excellent damage)

-.308 Marksman (semi-automatic, excellent damage, .308 ammo)

-5mm conversion (auto, worse damage, better fire rate, 5mm ammo)

-.308 Auto (auto, excellent damage, .308 ammo)

• Standard (regular length)

-Snub (shorter, better rate of fire, poor accuracy/poor recoil)

• Long (longer, better damage, better accuracy, reduced rate of fire)
• Overall suppression (longer, more precise, suppression)

Everything has been balanced to make the Chinese assault rifle a more advanced and end-game weapon. It will start appearing at level 16 and become quite common at level 28. There are also unique variations hidden in the world!

Based on its true inspiration, the Chinese assault rifle has high damage but heavy recoil, requiring a lot of wrangling to stay on target while firing continuously. The Marksman (semi-automatic) variant is fast and powerful, surpassing weapons similar to the Combat Rifle in terms of pure damage output, but its accuracy and handling are significantly lower than its peers, especially at long range.

Rifles have been added to the appropriate level lists, with carefully curated variants appearing for each faction. Raiders can find chopped short-barreled versions for use in run-and-gun ambushes, and gunners use semi-automatic versions with long barrels and extended stocks for sniper attacks.

Textures are usually all 2k except for some smaller parts
