Weapon crafting and wear

[welshmouse]

Hey guys,

Something I'd always thought would be cool since I saw the pipe weapons in fallout 4;

What if regular weapons and ammo are incredibly scarce, and wear with use, eventually breaking.
And what if pipe weapons and their ammo could be crafted from parts?

I feel like it would be a really cool way of balancing out the over-abundance of great weapons in the late game. You'd have to avoid using them a lot of the time, and constantly craft pipe weapons that would break after too much use.
It seems like a good choice for a mod as you wouldn't need to create any new assets. Anyone have the knowhow on doing something like this?

Combined with the upcoming survival mode, I think this could breathe new life into fallout 4.
