Hey there everyone! Old thread I know, but I'd love to add my two cents to the conversation! I agree with almost everything on this list, especially with the removal of the .50 cal receivers from the vanilla weapons list and adding weapons that use said round exclusively! There are of course a few minor details that I would change here and there, but that is just my personal thoughts! What I think however is more than just my personal thoughts, is people's apparent misunderstanding regarding the 5mm round! I think there is a reason the clowns at Bethesda left the 5mm as a GatlingGun/Minigun exclusive round! I know there are quite a few weapons mods out there that use said round in Assault style weapons such as the "Service Rifle" mod, and speaking of which even Obsidian's FO New Vegas uses it for their version of the Assault Rifle! Which I think is completely wrong for one reason, that the 5mm round is not actually an "Intermediate Round" like the 5.56/45 or 7.62/39! It is in fact as stated by it is Bethesda an anti power armor round, or at least a ultra high velocity cartridge coated or made entirely out of very hard materials to make it as devastating as possible in it's anti armor capabilities! Although Bethesda is unclear on this, I also think this is a much much longer round than the 5.56 or even the 308! I imagine this to be a round similar to what the Germans were using in early WW2 for their anti tank rifles! Which was basically a 7.92 Mauser bullet, with a much bigger cartridge. As I am writing this I'm actually struggling to find an image for this round, but If I were to describe it the size difference is staggering! Imagine full sized a .50 cal, but instead it has a .308 bullet on top! I think the 5mm follows this exact concept, except a little bit scaled down from that, it has to be fired from a portable full auto weapon! But the concept is the same! Needless to say this round would not fit in any conventional Assault Rifle Magazine!

You know all that time of me thinking that this was something completely different (like a weapons mod) only to find out it is done by something almost completely unrelated! I mean for craps sake man how the hell did you happen to find this in the first place? To me it might as well have been a needle in haystack! In my case it wasn't actually caused by the same mod, but by his two other creatures mod one being "Bone Colossus" and the other one being "Grievous Twilights"! Who by chance happened to have had the very same effect textures inside them, and probably the same scripts too! Hopefully this crap wont turn up on his other mods as well! And If you think I'm overreacting this thing actually is not harmless, it messes with your game as whole! I've had many instances where the game out right CTDeed itself into oblivion, because I was coming out from a cave only get a glimpse of the arrows from the previous battle with the effect still on a second right before the game froze and bang! Crashed my entire PC, with a "Good luck fixing the mess" note for good measure! I love his mods and I admire him for being so creative, but this was a very annoying bug! I'll be very hesitant from installing his mods from now on.
