*IMPORTANT*
For this to work, you must go into your FALLOUT.ini (located in "*yourdrive*:\Documents and Settings\*yourname*\My Documents\My Games\Fallout3"), and change this line:
"bInvalidateOlderFiles=0"
to this:
"bInvalidateOlderFiles=1"


This mod changes some sounds, mostly conventional firearms, to have MUCH stronger, louder sounds, as well as some misc. sounds (taking out a rifle for instance). You should notice a HIGHLY marked difference from Vanilla.

Installation:
Place the Sound folder into your "\Fallout 3\Data\" folder. Follow the important instructions. A word of warning - don't have your volume up TOO loud ;)

Version History:
1.0: Changed several guns.
1.1: Added 10mm SMG, Lincoln Repeater, Laser pistol/Rifle, modified some sounds.
1.2: Added a new head crippled sound when you blur out, added new bullet impact sounds, added new nuclear blast, added new frag grenade sounds (Note - both the nuke and the grenade suffer from the "doesn't fade properly over distance" thing. Working on that, trying to figure it out, but it maybe be in the game's programming...)
1.2.1: Fixed an issue with installing, it should now be completely drop and play (except for the .ini file).
1.3: Added Alien Blaster. Fixed issue with some sounds (explosions) not fading over distance. Some reworked sounds.
2.0: Been a while, eh? Most everything changed now. Supersonic reports for most weapons, a selection of modder's resource sounds, so forth.


In Sound\fx\wpn\pistol_10mm_silenced, you'll find two copies of the same sounds.

These are named Subsonic and Supersonic. Pick which one you like, and rename the two (2d and 3d) so that they don't have the title Subsonic or Supersonic anymore, like wpn_pistol_10mm_silenced_2d.wav.
