About this mod

DESCRIPTION
This weapon is an experiment of mine that, as far as I know, doesn't exist in real life - being a combination of every cowboy-style action. I picture it as a break-top revolver mechanism at its core, like a Webley, where as you hinge it open, the extractor pops the empty casings out then snaps back into place, ready for you to load fresh rounds. Then, after you close it up, instead of using your thumb to cock the hammer, you would work the lever and that would both cock the hammer and index the cylinder.

I started with the base game Single Shotgun mesh and added the lever from the Brush Gun. Then, I added the cylinder and top strap from the .357 Revolver and cut away a space in the Single Shotgun's receiver to house the cylinder. I then removed the shotgun barrel and replaced it with the barrel from the Brush Gun.

Gameplay-wise, this weapon is very similar to the Cowboy Repeater, but can be modded with the Trail Carbine scope. I've also added the weapon to all the appropriate form lists, so that all perks and challenges that affect revolvers and lever-action rifles (i.e. Cowboy, Old Vaquero) will work as expected.


LOCATION
The weapon can be purchased from the Gun Runners and other vendors across the Wasteland, or found in random loot drops. Of course, if you're feeling lazy, you can always use the following console command (Substitute ## with the Mod Index of the plugin in your load order):

player.AddItem ##000ADE 1;Gives 1 Break-Lever Revolver


INSTALLATION
Extract all the files in the archive to your New Vegas data folder (which is the same folder where FalloutNV.esm is located) and then enable the ESP either in your mod manager of choice, or under "Data Files" in the launcher that runs when you start up New Vegas.
