Hunting Rifle Caliber

[ThatSnipingGamer]

Create .32 round. Convert hunting rifle default receiver and all upgrades to .32 just like fallout 3, add a .308 receiver in place of the vanilla .38 receiver and leave the .50 receiver alone. Re balance damage. Thanks in advance for any help or contributions.

Why?

.308 is a popular rifle caliber already and .50 caliber rifles do exist...whereas .32 is typically a pistol round.

 

In most cases they actually got calibers right in this game. (With the exceptions of .50 caliber needing more damage and .45 rounds in the Combat Rifle....45 Rifle rounds are typically only found in lever action rifles.)

There is a lot of difference between a .45 pistol round such as .45 APC (Automatic Pistol Cartrige) .45 long colt ( the old cowboy .45) and a rifle round Typically .45-70 which is longer than even the .45 long colt.

 

The same kind of difference exists between a .32 pistol round and a .32 rifle round ( yes they do exist) Again, the 32 rifle (usually .32 Win Special) is somewhat longer and usually necked down on a larger diameter shell case.

 

And the .50 cal - the .50 pistol round is called a .50 Action express and is just over 1.6 inches long. (That is huge for a pistol bullet) The large rifle bullet is usually the .50 BMG ( Browning Machine Gun) 5.45 inches long. I have only seen one pistol that could fire the BMG, and it was a single shot. The gunsmith that made it said it was not something he wanted to fire often because of the horrendous recoil.

(What bben46 just said is why I qualified my statements with 'typically.')

Back in fallout 3 the hunting rifle was .32, yes i know that isn't a common rifle cartridge, but i Just wanted to re add it. I would personally do it myself but i have no idea around the modding tools currently for this game or even the geck (when it come out). If you cant do it, I would appreciate some pointers, otherwise Thank you for the input.
