Honestly, I love the concept of the MF Breeder weapons as specialized regenerating Microfusion cells, so this mod is great since it makes me want to actually use the Holorifle. Can't think of ever using the Holorifle after finishing Dead Money.
it was such lazy design to splice it with a pump action shotgun into an energy rifle. absolutely atrocious. like the gun itself is cool new forms of energy weapons are always cool, but the implementation was insufferable. it was basically the sniper rifle energy weapon anyone would have wanted if they just let have a standard energy weapon reload.
Not a bad idea, but I feel its seems slightly unbalanced. Having (effectively) infinite ammunition on such a beast? Hows about a recycler like on the LCW or the GRA energy pistols, making your ammo stretch, but still having a cap. I would do it myself, but I could never make heads or tails of the GECK. Just mention me if you actually make it.
Part of the problem I found is that the Holorifle is an awesome weapon, but the Dead Money storyline makes it so hard to find ammo that you'll just throw it away out of pure frustration and use conventional weapons. Seems like it's meant to punish you by holding the "bright, shiny laser weapon" up, and then taunt you with no ammo. It really got to me. Also, it just fits my playstyle.
As for a recycler, that would probably require modding one of the upgrades to include the laser recycler script. I'm not sure what that would do to the game. Defining it as using the MF breeder for ammo was a lot easier.
Edit: Also, I tend to play hardcore a lot, and ammo has weight. You can't just tote around 150 MF Cells like they're made of feathers in hardcore. That soaks up about 40+ lbs of storage, so an MF variant frees up storage for survival gear.

Anyway, I'd recommend mods that let you go back to the Sierra Madre. There's a ton of them, but the simplest one I use frequently is this one.

It puts a door in the bunker right behind the holographic blackjack player which lets you go back to the start of DM.
