Great mod! Have a weak spot for the mauser since I own one myself(Mauser C96 9mm), wich has made me use the standard chinese pistol way to much in the game(and suffered the consequenses:-)
and considering mauser variations, i do believe the chinese rechambered the mauser(well their model of the mauser atleast) for 45.ammunition with selective fire. Think it was a commando weapon.
Well, that I'll freely admit: the .32 is simply the wrong ammo type for it all around. The only .32 cartridge that would have nearly enough energy, and could also be used in a rifle, is pretty much the .32 H&R Magnum... but that's a rimmed round, and the brass would the wrong shape even without that.
It's mostly there because:
1. No other existing round fits the bill any better (there was a chinese Mauser in .45 ACP, but none in 10mm),
2. I didn't feel like creating a new type of ammo, because, well, everyone changing the levelled items just doesn't scale. E.g., if I started giving raiders guns with this type of ammo and adding it to ammo boxes everywhere, I'd conflict with Vashts' mods pretty quickly.
3. I wanted the gun to be powerful enough to be worth using, but not as powerful as to be someone's main gun from there to the end of the game. So I thought I'd get creative with the ammo instead.
The .32 ammo is spawned in quantities balanced for single-shot weapons. You can go through most of the game with using it in a hunting rifle, but not when you shoot it on auto. Well, that sounded to me like a perverse enough balancing factor.
mmh the 7.62 is more "powerful" than a 9mm due to its length and the resulting inner damage coming from more surface contact but the .32 is even shorter than a 9mm and thus alot weaker... (shorter and thinner)
the .32 is basicly a 7.62x17 compared to a 9x19 or a 7.62x25...
well but i dunno... id prolly stick with the .32 aswell as the game does the same yet for the hunting rifle anyway
i cannot give you an accurate rating as you did not show any pictures. What caught my eye was Mauser as i am a WWII weapons fan and am familiar with the C96 i look forward to this weapon, however....
No pic, No click
EDIT:My mistake, you say its just an auto Chinese pistol which does look like a Mauser. if you could make your own model/skin id download it.
Ah, heh, that's actually a bit cheated, in that I went the other way around: I started with the Ultra SMG, and linked it to the Chinese Pistol skin. (Via the WNAM field.) Which only left me with the rather trivial issue of changing the ammo and damage.
There are probably better ways, but this seemed like the easiest way to go about this particular one.
