    Thank you, frogsot! I have been hoping something like this would get introduced at some point. I can't wait to play with it. Launch a spread then sit back with a bottle of Sunset Sarsaparilla and wait for the booms!

      Your welcome. I am glad to please. Also take a look at my other mods. there will be more to come. Perhaps something that launches weapons to give to an army of friendly npcs.

      Sadly the mine do not go far since it is based off on the throwing projectile. If you need another mine Launcher there is another mod on the site that can spit out 50 nearly at once at a farther distance. I also think that I shall mod the reload speed and fire rate to be closer to the mine machine gun. Unlike other mods that do similar functions. I plan on constantly updating with new ammo and fixes and tweaks based on user feedback.

      I however will soon be adding in other mines that I didnt know about or forgot. I never paid much thought to the stuff added in to the gra for mines and forgot about the micro fusion cluster mine. I will be adding in ammo for that mine as well as the gas bomb and such. the gas bomb will take longer since I didnt use dead money as a master.

      Never type my name with a cap F.

      Finally had time to play with it a bit. I was surprised that the range is fairly short. Was that by design? I think it will be more useful and fun if the range was more inline with grenade throwing distance. Perhaps consider placing the stash of launchers inside a cave or abandoned building instead of Doc's bedroom. It seemed like an convenient but odd place to find them.

      I really like the concept because it has a lot of game play potential. I will be tracking this should you update it.

      Well I do plan on adding in MFC Cluster ammo soon. The problem with the range rests with the vainilla projectile throwing distance. The projectiles physics will override the minimum range of a weapon.

      For example, if you give a sniper a incinerator projectile, similar to what I did with two of my mods, the fire will drop much shorter than you would expect a sniper to reach.

      For some reason only the fat mine will launch father than the others, with the MFC Cluster going a bit father than that. I may have to make a custom projectile for each mines ammo rather than using default mines. Its still faster than placing the mines by hand, and If I cat figure out how to increase the range that may just have to be good enough.

      I would very much prefer to perfect my mods though.

      I am workiing on a mod that adds a armory into the game where I shall add all of my custom weapons and future armors....Scorched sierra MKII???

      I can appreciate the limitations you face when modding. My hope was to see the shot distance increased enough to be a viable range weapon. Laying mines by hand in sneak mode is undetectable but if I have to make the noise of a grenade launcher 20 ft away from some fiends....

      Well I did add the mfc cluster ammo, and that has a much better range. Plus that mine actually works well in a fight. Additionally I could add a version that makes the launchers silent if you would like.

      Keep the sound with the weapon. Guns without sound would be odd me thinks. I'll check out your new version. Thanks!

      Dont worry! The launchers still have sound I just marked them as silent and make their detection level silent. They will still be the same for the player.

    I could be wrong but isn't something what launches mines called "mortar" ? Could be wrong though..

      A mortar is an unaccurate, "short"range artillery that supports Infantry troops with grenades that detonate at impact ;-)

      It`s possible to drop spread bombs with mines via planes
