Hunting Shotgun fixed grip?

[Deathstruck]

Hey there,

 

so as the title says - is there any animation mod or fix that replaces the weird handgrip for the Hunting shotgun?

 

It uses the default rifle holding animation, for which the shotgun model is waay too long and it is pretty wonky to say the least. The left hand is almost blocking the ejection port, the player has to constantly reach forward to use the forend pump (instead of holding it), and overall it looks very uncomfortable/unbalanced/non-practical.

 

Pics to better illustrate my point:

 

The way it should be (IMHO) held.

Of course, I am not a gun expert so maybe I am wrong regarding this but it still bothers the heck out of me.

 

Anyone?

 

Thank you for answer!

I'm no expert either, but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to hold a pump action shotgun with the pump, as doing so will cause the recoil of the weapon to re-chamber it, which can be dangerous. Idk, but regardless, if you want to change it it should be easy enough to go into the G.E.C.K. and change the Handgrip option to something that is a little further down the stock. Hope that helps.

Hey there!

 

Thanks for the answer. I know what you mean, but from what I have read and seen (like here), you are definitely supposed to put your left hand on the shotgun by the pump forend. :)

(also a quick google search showcasing proper shotgun stance as seen here)

 

I checked all the handgrip options in GECK but none of them seem to be adequate for the gun length. :/

 

Anyway, I recently bumped into the Weapon Animations Reanimated mod - and according to the description, author has apparently included a fixed pump shotgun holding animation under HandGrip3.

However, upon asigning the said handgrip to my shotgun... nothing really changes. Anyone knows if it's supposed to be like that or is it a bug? I am really at a loss here regarding this whole issue. :/

Have you changed the Hunting Shotgun from 2HandRifle to 2HandAutomatic? The description of the animation mod says the new handgrip was made for 2handautomatic animation types. (Haven't tested this myself)

Yep, tried that too. Setting the Animation type from "Rifle - Balistic (2 Hand)" to "Rifle - Automatic (2 Hand)" in FNVEdit.

 

Still doesn't look right and the only difference is, that the shotgun is now being held like a pistol grip assault rifle. :/
