No love for the Abilene Kid?

I'm surprised nobody has done a BB gun mod of any sort for FO4. Maybe there's something difficult about it that I've missed?

 

The charging type weapon exists in the forms of the laser musket and the gauss rifle. Custom ammo seems common for mods.

 

I miss the version from FONV, where it had a low damage, but extremely high crit multiplier. I'd be happy to help any way I can (which is pretty much only textures).

I doubt it has to do with a lack of resources, BB guns in previous games were just lever actions, and we have those animations from Far Harbor.

 

I think part of the problem is that special attributes like extra crit chance and extra crit damage for individual weapons are no longer a thing in Fallout 4, and nobody is really sure what to do with the BB Gun to make it worthwhile. It may be possible to make your crit meter in VATS go up faster with a BB Gun, then do more damage when using that particular weapon, but I haven't seen any weapon do anything like that yet, and it still leaves the weapon effectively useless for people like me that don't use VATS.

 

What I have thought about doing is an air rifle using the Laser Musket animations and charge system. Something like a cross between the Tihar from Metro and a paintball gun, that would fire ball bearings. Someday, maybe, but right now I have several other projects and ideas that are taking precedence.
