MuD3

I have about 180 mods installed. Not sure what is causing this. it has no pip boy image either and at first it wouldn't even let me equip it. I uninstalled all mods, deleted and reinstalled the game and the issue is still there but now I can equip and shoot it. I tried installing a new texture mod for it, didn't work. Can someone make or point me to a fix for this? Or does anyone know what the problem is?

i am having the exact same problem, and this thread with all of it's two posts is the only thing google is giving me on the subject...
