Replace Plasma Pistol with Defender?

Doing so would make certain enemies tougher & the Plasma Pistol is incredibly ugly. Including the attachments of course.

That would need to make edits to vanilla leveled list of enemies, either direct npc templates, and/or weapon list.

A more simple solution of a sort is to directly edit the plasma pistol template to use defender nif. THAT mean enemies using pp would now showing using defender, but their damage, and visual sign of shooting plasma bolts, still the same. THIS solution would need to edit one or two weapon files only.

Thought the process might be easier with vanilla weapons. Hopefully a kind modder in a good mood takes notice. Would be a plus to include compatibility with this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/44450

Then someone interested in this idea can do this. I dont really feel interested enough to meddle in.

For now, anyway~
