Modified long barrel variant to be consistent with real sales length

Realistic Long Barrel - Shotgun

🔫 Module introduction

This mod modifies the long barrel variant of the shotgun in the game to the same true length as it is sold in the real world!

📏Real size adjustment

The guns I modify usually come from the factory with:

  • **28"** (Auto 5 automatic shotgun)
  • **30 inches** (all other guns)
  • **32 inches** (Special order version)

I scaled a reference photo of the gun with the correct length, compared it to the original model in the game and adjusted it accordingly.

⚙️ Short barrel treatment

I don't modify most short barrels because they are already pretty accurate - except for pump action shotguns. I adjusted the short pump action barrel to the same length as the Winchester 1897 Vandal model.

🎯 Muzzle special effects repair

Include weaponcomponents.meta file to fix muzzle effects issue:

  • Place the file into the `\lml\stream` folder
  • This will modify the visual effects offset values ​​of all components of this mod

If you don't see a change, there is a conflict and another mod that contains weaponcomponents.meta may be installed. In this case, the following values ​​need to be adjusted manually in the existing file:

**Repeating Shotgun - Long Barrel**

``

**Pump Action Shotgun**

  • Short barrel: ``
  • Long barrel: ``

**Double Barrel Shotgun - Long Barrel**

``

**Semi-Auto Shotgun - Long Barrel**

``

📁 Installation instructions

Since this is the first mod I've made, I'm not yet familiar with LML's installation XML configuration:

  • Just put the required ydr files into the `Red Dead Redemption 2\lml\stream` folder

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
