red/green laser sights and flash light mods for guns

[JimmyS1985]

First I'd like to say that I became a gun enthusiast in part because of my love for video games. Using guns in games got me to go out and actually buy a firearm since, well frankly put, they're actually a lot of fun in real life even if you don't use them for killing which I don't. (I don't even keep my handgun around for self-defense, just keep it locked in a gun safe as the idea of me killing another animal or human being does not sit well with me at all). I mainly get shitfaced drunk with my old man in the Sonorran desert with mine and blast beer cans when I'm having fun with my family's gun collection.

 

So anyways, after a few years of perusing gun forums and gun sites, and going out and actually using my firearm, with dreams of buying more, I am a bit disappointed in video games these days that don't seem to be made by actual gun enthusiasts.

 

So even I added a laser sight to my handgun (Beretta M9 with Crimson Trace laser handgrips), and it's pretty cool. I once reskinned the glock in Counter Strike 1.6 to have a laser sight that was actually somewhat useful but not quite cheating.

 

Why doesn't fallout 4 have these types of attachments for weapons? They got the bayonet attachment, but what about red/green laser sights, barrel shrouds, flash lights mounted on picatinny rails, vertical hand grips, collapsible folding stocks, Armor Piercing rounds, Full Metal Jacket rounds, Jacketed Hollow point rounds, birdshot, .00 Buck, 12 gauge slugs, things like the ability to tape two magazines together one up and one down so reloading the 2nd magazine is very fast and easy.

 

There is so much more to guns than what most games these days offer and for all my play throughs my character is very gun based, I'm hoping the mod community can help out with this some day, currently just a few mods have added important firearms in firearms history like the M16A2 and AK47.
