Notice- Version 1.02 -should- address the strange texture problems. However, if anything is wrong with the technical side of this mod, you're experiencing things like missing textures or whatnot, throw in a comment or give me a PM so I can fix it up.

And ,the weapon doesn't look like complete garbage now, feel free to post some screenshots! Show me your gunslingers!


**************************************************
UPDATE v1.02!
**************************************************

Features:

-Got around to adding Suppressed versions of all the pistols.

Complete weapon list is as follows:
- .600 pistol.
- .600 pistol, suppressed
- .600 pistol, scoped
- .600 pistol, suppressed and scoped
- .308 pistol.
- .308 pistol, suppressed
- .308 pistol, scoped
- .308 pistol, suppressed and scoped


-Placeholder PipBoy icons, they will probably undergo a bit of cleaning up.


Details
=======
The Defender .600 is a single-shot, break-open-to-reload, large-bore pistol that fires the fearsome .600 Nitro Express rounds. Basically, you can kill pretty much anything in the game with one hit. This weapon really shines when you absolutely, positively have to kill everything, one excrutiatingly long reload at a time. However, when it comes to group encounters, you'll have to be very precise and quick on the draw, as a bullet that doesn't hit its target is worthless.

Each Defender, regardless of scope or caliber, now uses other Defenders as a repair option.
It's highly accurate, meaning zero spread (like a Sniper Rifle or Laser weapon), when you have a Small Guns skill of 100.
The weapon doesn't appear in leveled lists, or as loot anywhere, or in trader lists (though it might appear in Moira's inventory, -maybe-). So you have pretty much the only Defender pistols in the entire Capital Wasteland.


Recommended mods
================
- DK Bullet Time - http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1193
Lets you really line up those shots! :D

- RH Ironsights Mod - http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6938
Not perfect, and doesn't support most modded weapons, but great if you love using an ADS (Aim Down Sight) system.

- Shell Rain - http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5277
Dramatically increases the maximum number and lifetime of shell casings, doesn't really affect the Defender pistols but is good for the aftermath of firefights.

- Darnified UI - http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1063937
Has several customisable options, such as displaying Encumbrance, Rads, Karma, XP, etc. It also streamlines the HUD and makes it less of an eyesore.



Location
========
There are:

-Four Defender .600's, two scoped and two unscoped, one of each being suppressed,
-Four Defender .308's, two scoped and two unscoped, one of each being suppressed,
-100 rounds of .308 ammo,
-500 rounds of .600 ammo

inside a respawning mailbox behind the 'MEGATON -->' sign in Springvale. see the Screenshots section for more details.




Known Issues or Bugs
====================
This mod uses heavily, very heavily, modified Vanilla assets, such as textures and meshes. So it's not exactly -new- new, but I think I've altered enough of the assets to make it stand out.

The 'Red Dot' sight doesn't actually have a red dot. It's just a placeholder until I learn Glow Maps properly.
