Laser Gyro Compensated silencer

[tazjmw94]

I know what you're thinking: "It makes no sense to silence a laser gun because you can see the god damn beam, so how can it be stealth in any way at all, and how can you silence a laser generator?" My response being: They have a silencer for the Gauss rifle, which makes less sense than a silent laser for many reasons, since you can probably feel the atmosphere change when the Gauss rifle is charging, among other reasons. And since when did we care about accuracy? One of the first mods was replacing the mini nukes on the fat man into a teddy bear or your infant son Shaun and the launch sound being "JOHN CENA!"

Anyway, a silenced laser (or plasma, but they don't have muzzle mods) weapon would be great; I know the people who desire that are a token minority, but I'm sure those who want it would appreciate it greatly. I know there is a mod that suppresses the sniper barrel, but I personally feel like suppressing the most powerful barrel for lasers is a bit OP (also the mod made my pistol literally silent; like, no sound whatsoever, without any conflicting mods) but I digress. My proposal is turning the gyro compensating (possibly renaming it?) muzzle mods into "suppressors" for laser weapons. Those muzzle mods are likely the least useful, anyway, so you might as well make them useful, and they already have half the effects of a suppressor, so adding another effect couldn't hurt. I know it would probably make more sense to have a silenced laser generator (so, the barrel, like the previously mentioned mod) but that would likely make it more difficult (adding a new barrel to the crafting registry, possibly a new look, which, y'know, can't really be done without the GECK yet, etc)

I would do this myself, but I have no experience with the editors, so I'm not even 100% sure if this is doable. I'd appreciate any help, whether it be telling me how I can do that myself, telling me it can't be done, or just going ahead and doing it. I'm sure the mentioned token minority would greatly appreciate that.

Technically, lasers should be silent, recoilless and invisible by default- lasers aren't visible without some kind of medium to refract/reflect them, and lasers are just light. Does your flashlight make sound? Does it recoil? Nope.

 

This will be the first thing I fix when the GECK is released- provided it's all simple value tweaks. I'm afraid I can't handle anything more complicated than that.

It's quite possible to do this already with FO4Edit, it just wouldn't be very pretty. You could just alter the keywords on the gyro to have the same components as a silencer. That said a major overhaul of the laser weapons in particular would be welcomed but would require the CK.
