In short
This mod adds a new weapon to the game: the M54 Gatling Rifle. In essence, it is a rifle with a spinning barrel and high rate of fire.
Guaranteed to take that Deathclaw down. Yes, this weapon eats up all your bullets, yes the barrel gets hot.

Also, for additional, beter looking screenshots, check the user submitted screenshots.
They tend to look a lot better than the ones I made.

Stats
Base Damage : 30, or 18 if you choose the DamageReduce option
Fire rate : ~140
Affected by : Heavy Gunner, or Commanod, depending on which option you pick during the installation
Caliber : default 5mm, but you can mod it to shoot almost any bullet.
How to Aquire : Spawns on NPC's or by the use of console commands

- Added a patch for LOADS
- Added a Railway Spike Receiver (That specific receiver is not LOADS compatible)

- Added customization options (less damage/no idiot savant/Commando perkset instead of Heavy Gunner)

UPDATE (HOTFIX): v1.0.1
- Fixes an issue with two barrels having a extremely high (about 10 digit number) fire rate.


DOES THE BARREL GLOW :D?
Yes... yes it does.

Can you fix any of the animations?
Nope, nobody can at the moment =\ But hey, animations arn't bad at all :) just a small lil bit of clipping with the reload.

Known Issues (only minor issues so far)
There are two known and easy to 'fix' issues:
- Effects don't load properly when loading a game with the gun equipped.
  FIX: Switch to another weapon and back
- The plasma receiver has a weird flash to the south when I fire it?
  FIX: none, this is a vanilla bug. The strange flash is more notable because the fire rate is much higher than the Plasma Rifle.

How to aquire?
Using the console:
Type : help gatling 4 weap

Type player.additem XX00080E

Installation: Nexus Mod Manager
- Download the main file, and let NMM install the mod.
- During the installation-progress: pick the options you like the most
- Done!

Installation: Manual
I assume you know where your Fallout 4 data folder is, and that you know how to make the game load additional plugins. If not, google for them.
- Download the mod.

Inside the mod are the following folders:
- FOMOD : You can ignore this folder completly, not relevant for a manual install.
- Main : Contains the needed materials, meshes and textures. This is the basic mod, without modifications.
            Copy the contents of the Main folder to your fallout 4 data folder.
    Next, activate the GatlingRifle plugin.

The following files require the Main folder to be extracted and the GatlingRifle esp to be active to function properly.
Some files (the patches) might also require other mods.

- NoGap : Contains meshes that eliminate the gap between the barrel and the grip.
               Copy the contents of the NoGap folder to your Fallout 4 data folder to apply.
- NoGlow : Contains two folders, Normal and NoGap. Copy the contents of either folder to your Fallout 4 Data folder if you want to get rid
                 of any heat effects on the barrel. Pick normal for the normal grip and NoGap for the 'NoGap' variant grip.
- ESP :Contains customization/patch ESP. These ESP's need to be loaded after GatlingRifle.esp and if that applies, their respective mod.
 The ESP's listed below all have a AWKCR counterpart. For instance, copy the GatlingRifle-AKWCR-Loads file if you want the LOADS patch
          and are using the AWKCR esp.
          The following patches/options are available:
               - GatlingRifle-Commando : Makes the rifle use the Commando perk instead of the heavy gunner perk.
               - GatlingRifle-Loads: Loads patch. Makes the rifle compatible with the LOADS mod. Requires the LOADS mod. Load this ESP after LOADS.
               - GatlingRifle-Commando-Loads : Copy and activate this if you want both the Commando and LOADS patch.
               - GatlingRifle-NoIdiotSavant : the 'Surprise Receiver' does not need Idiot Savant anymore to craft.
               - GatlingRifle-DamageReduce : the rifle does less damage.
               - GatlingRifle-DamageReduce-Loads : the rifle does less damage. Use INSTEAD of GatlingRifle-DamageReduce for LOADS compatability.
