The name AKM is much better suited to a handmade rifle than AK-47. A short historical excursion: the AK-47 is a prototype presented by Mikhail Kalashnikov, and based on this prototype, a serial AK appeared in 1948. But the modification of 1958, the AKM, became truly widespread. Well, if you go into details, then this is generally a Romanian copy of an AK, but it is already very difficult to track down the real prototype of a handmade rifle.
The .308 is actually correct for the caliber of weapon that it uses, It is the correct name, alternate possible names (which are also correct) Are : - 30 caliber -7.62x45
Note that these are all names for the exact same round, and none are incorrect.
The hell do you mean 7.62x45? The 7.62×45mm is a rimless bottlenecked intermediate rifle cartridge developed in Czechoslovakia. You mean 7.62x51 NATO. But that niche is already covered by 5mm which in this mod is changed to be 7.62x51 NATO.
And .30 caliber is something totally different and not even compatible with any .308 rifles, whereas 7.62x51 and .308 otherwise have some cross-compatibility depending on the gun.
5mm -> .22 Spitfire (dev. in 1963, similar weight, 820 m/s means it defeats armor, exactly like what you'd want on a minigun meant to shoot aircraft)
5.56 -> .223
.308 -> .308
.45 -> .45 ACP
.38 -> .380 ACP
10mm -> .40 S&W (10mm Auto has pretty much been completely replaced by .40S&W, it's only 10% slower, while being a lighter case)
.44 -> .44 Magnum
.50 Cal -> .50 BMG
7.62 -> .300 AAC (It's an American equiv to 7.62x39, but meant to fix feeding issues in AR-patterned rifles, especially for the need to fire subsonic ammo.)
Shotgun Shell -> 12ga. Shell
Missile -> M591 AP Missile
Mini Nuke -> XW76 Nuclear Mortar
Cannonball -> Cannonball (calling it Roundshot implies there's different more than one kind of cannon shot in the game)
Fusion Cell -> No. 1040m Fusion Cell
Plasma Cell -> CYC-10ps Retina Cell (Cyclops, as in, the son of Poseidon)
Gauss Rifle Ammo -> 2mm Caseless EMC
Fusion Core -> TZ-745 Fusion Core (Named after it's form id of 00075FE4 (TZ= Triple Zero)
Weapons
10mm Pistol -> N99 Pistol
.44 Revolver -> S&W M29 Revolver
Chinese Officer Sword -> Chinese Officer Sword
Fat Man -> ArcJet XM42 ASM "Fat Man" (Anti-tank Spigot Mortar, ArcJet would have been the manufacturer despite it's development in Fort Strong)
Gauss Rifle -> ArcJet XM149 Gauss Rifle (MARAUDER is the project name for the Navy's Gauss Rifle program. The sum of the letter ordering numberically is 149)
Frag Grenade -> Mk II Fragmentation Grenade
Assault Rifle -> M199 Assault Rifle
The Combat Rifle -> Browning Automatic Rifle (Change the default of this gun to .308 instead of .45)
The Combat Shotgun -> Browning Automatic Shotgun
Double Barrel Shotgun -> Ithaca SKB Model 280
Gatling Laser -> GAU-20/F Heavy Laser
Hunting Rifle -> Remington 776 Southpaw
Submachine Gun -> Thompson M1A1
Laser Rifle -> AEC9-650
Frag mine -> M14 APERS Mine
Minigun -> XM71 Cacus (Cacus was the son of Vulcan, the gun is clearly based on the M61 Vulcan; and in-game uses the 5mm, which to keep in-line with the rest of the mod would use the 5mm Spitfire rond)
Missile Launcher -> Recoiless Rifle
Plasma Rifle -> Marauder Rifle (After the Navy's Railgun program)
The Handmade Rifle -> Scavashnikov
Drop the "Colt" from the N99. I don't like the idea using real gun manufacturers for fictional guns. I think it's best just labeled as "N99 Handgun." I think the Browning bit is fine considering the model in the game is literally just a BAR that shoots 12ga. Adding Colt here I think is too far.
It looks like most, if not all, of your names are based on real stuff, not in-universe lore, so I don't think I'll be using them, but thank you for your interest! Also, editing the names in the editor is really quite easy, so I encourage you to go make the changes yourself and post it as a mod!
If you are talking about the suppressor it could just be the suppressor model, or it could be a suppressor for an AR51 on the lewis, because you can put suppressors of higher calibers on guns of lower calibers, and if you aren't talking about the suppressor, I can't get the camera in close enough to make out what the text is on the right side of the reciever
Yeah I saw that but I've checked in game and the default texture doesn't have any reference to being an AR-51, and the M2020 is more in line with the naming style associated with the lewis machinegun, so I think I'll stick with the current name
But, for people who have that retexture it is really easy to go and change the name in the editor, you just look through the items > weapons until you find the assaultrifle and change the in game name from Lewis M2020 to w/e you want. Oh and you'd need to have the IWN core.esp set as the active file if you want the name change to be part of the mod, otherwise you can make a little patch to change the name but still keep the old file how it is.
Going to be honest, I want to try this out because I don't like some of the name changes that the base mod does but I'm not going to if I don't have any way of knowing what changes this one makes. Is there any way you could post a list of changes?
Yeah, here: Ammo: 5mm to 5mm springfield 5.56 to 5.56x45mm .308 stays the same, would appreciate suggestions for it .45 to .45 ACP .38 to .380 ACP Fusion Cell to #1040 Fusion Cell Fusion Core to TX-30 Core 10mm to 10x25mm .44 to .44 magnum .50 cal to .50 BMG cannonball to round shot Mini Nuke to General Atomics Mini Nuke Missle to M-76 Missile Gauss rifle ammo stays the same, 2mm Electromagnetic Cartridge, would also appreciate suggestions for this Plasma Cell to Wattz Plasma Cell Shotgun Shell to 12 gauge shell DLC Ammo: 7.62 to 7.62x39mm

DLC Weapons: Radium Rifle to Radium MP 507 Rifle Handmade rifle to AK-47 Assault rifle, don't like this name, would appreciate suggestions. Lever Action Rifle to Marlin 1895 Rifle
Stuff not mentioned was not changed, although it's possible I missed a weapon or 2, but unlikely. Also I know the capitalization is bad, but it's not in game, I was just hand typing most of this, not copy pasting.
