Colt 6520 (Classic 10mm) from Fallout 4

[AlphaGarg]

Hello New Vegas community!

Basically what the title says, a 10mm replacer mod that changes its model and mods to be the ones from Fallout 4's "Tunnel Snakes Rule!" CC. I find myself somewhat disappointed with the existing 6520s on the Nexus - most lack the revolving cyllinder, one has a straight up revolver backside, and another has a weird top-only slide (plus overtly smooth normals).

I'm not sure what the legality of doing so would be, but I assume it to be the same as other Fallout 4 -> NV mods, like the PA footsteps mods you can find here and there, or the Combat Rifle backport, or the numerous FO4 PA model backports. Would have to check specific licenses for CC stuff, something I can't personally do at the moment (out of money for Game Pass this month : P).

But that's basically it. Sounds don't even need to be changed, though if one wants to do so, I'd prefer the actual Fallout 1/2 10mm pistol shooting sounds if possible. Distant fire, reload, etc, whatever don't really need changing. Even animations can remain the same, so long as the gun is scaled and rigged appropriately.

Cheers!

I think, probabbly, that there's big legal issue with porting vanilla F4 asset to FNV engine. That's why you can find a lot of backport mod that port modded assets from F4 back to FNV (like the Widow shotgun started out in F4 mod, but backport to FNV), but no backport mod that touch vanilla asset.

Just search on FNV Nexus with the term "10mm" and you will find lots of mod. No F4 backport, though

Have you checked out the Classic Fallout Weapons pack? The 10mm is a solid homage to the original:

That does make sense.. I guess the ones that are on the Nexus are probably just recreations then. Would explain the lack of 76 stuff, too, considering the amount of classic Fallout weapons that game has. Anything else probably just hasn't been found out by Beth yet lol

Oh wow, that one hadn't come up in my searches! That actually looks really good (and the other weapons are a big plus, I hadn't even thought of looking for them prior). Will definitely add it to my modlist.
