The Lurker Pistol is exactly inspired by the Lercker Pistol, a machine-pistol for 25-ACP, which had dubious practicality; and is exactly named Lurker for being phonetically-similar enough. But it's shape is also reminiscent of that with the Welrod, if it was semi-automatic, and functionally like the Skorpion 61 SMG.

The inspiration to V2 is precisely redoing the mesh, which was in retrospect could have been better, so I did. With a chance to redo the mod, I also redid the shape, such as the Long-Barrel taking form into that Sten-styled heat-shield, the compensator from the Chauchat (which I know to should-have-been muzzle-booster), improved iron-sights taken from the hunting-rifle front-sight, and the SMG rear-sight, and an attachment point for the grip is made. The Large Magazine was also redone, and mixed with the 10mm Pistol's end-cap, after all that Deliverer bottom portion is added exactly because the grip is small.

Far cry from my typical formula, the Lurker V2 is back to basic -- the FO4 basic. None of the divorced Frames, Trigger, and Damage, it's the same old-receiver selection, though buffed and tweaked stat-wise. The reason behind this to be as vanilla as possible and simple as possible, but won't fall out of favor quickly. 

Balance-wise, it is 38-Cal with 16 damage, which is +3 from the pipe-gun differentiated by less 30 fire-rate (from 55 to 25), with it's damage step at +25%/+75%/+125% that of the Lever-Action Rifle, at damages of 16/20/28/36. Yes, it is much more powerful than the Pipe-Gun, but it is still 38-Cal, so temper your expectations. I'm half-tempted to give it 18 damage, but it's too similar to the 10mm Pistol, that will surely make it obsolete -- and pretty sure already does with the late-game receivers. But I'd argue that 10mm Pistol needs a buff anyways.

"End-Game" receiver is a bit wealthy this time around, you can have your Advanced Receiver that is semi-auto; but damage-step up is the Powerful Automatic Receiver that has waaaay higher DPS; and then the third one is the Hardened Rapid Automatic Receiver -- the point of this is to be the legit machine-pistol, there's not a lot in the damage department, so it's just stupidly fast ROF with long-burst VATs like that of the minigun. Fourth end-game, if you can consider it, is the Calibrated Powerful Receiver for it's critical and range bonus, and the fifth is the Hardened Piercing Auto-Receiver for it's armor-piercing.

The selection of barrels are the same, and they are without muzzles, this is to emphasize the different specific uses for the barrels, than the barrels themselves being left out in favor of just the single-best barrel, paired with the single-best muzzle. This way, you either have to choose the Short Barrel for close-range VATs and critical-damage that would pair well with the Rapid Auto Receiver's long-burst VATs; the Suppressed for stealth; the long-barrel for range; and the Compensator for full-auto without being uncontrollable.

Lastly the legendaries, I just didn't feel the need to use the same names as before. Hush-Puppy must stay though, it's essentially Violent, but more violent, but with increased recoil it's for single-shot unless you're crazy enough to just take the muzzle climb; the Ghetto Blaster is made to be the rapid-fire, it's name implying that it's a drive-by shooting, though actual Ghetto-Blaster is actually different, and it's actually more useful for buffing up the Advanced Receiver; and the Skorpion (GET OVER HERE!) is just a Mortal Kombat reference, with it's incendiary damage -- it's actually best to use with automatic receiver because of that flat damage bonus.

2.1 - Small Receiver and Black Lace

The Small/Large Receiver is a bit of a new addition. It flies square in the initial philosophy of the weapon, as in it has a low-rof and has simple-AF vanilla-esque mods, and here it is basically a Short-Long barrel on top of the already Short/Long/Supp/Comp Barrels. But you gotta admit, the gun became a LOT cuter as a result. It still is lower ROF than it's contemporaries, though if it's enough of a difference, will only be seen through the matter of testing. I'm a compulsive updater, who knows, maybe i'll tweak the fire-rate distribution yet again.

The Black Lace was brought up when I was listening to Andrew Hulshult's song Black Lace, and then I thought it sounded a bit like woman's underwear, and so an itty-bitty pistol would actually seem to fit for that role. So there you go, a woman's pocket-pistol, the Black Lace. I gave it to Tina De Luca as a nod to her supposed affair, while also something different than just buy-it-at-exorbitant-cost.
