I like to think that the compensator and suppressor are, similar to the receivers, just internal systems which reduces the recoil and noise made by the rifle. At least with that logic, and with this mod installed, the fact that the gauss rifle even has these upgrades now makes sense.
Oh, man, thank you for this. I totally agree. I love the effects of the Gauss Rifle, in that it basically explodes the head of whomever I point it at, but I take a lot of screenshots and I was sick of my companions shoving the thing in my character's face like some kind of kinky suggestion. I mean, sheesh, there's a time and place, guys. Can't it wait until we AT LEAST get out of this den of Supermutants? Er...okay, maybe that was just me. But yes, I agree that it was extremely obnoxious. So thank you. Endorsed. I"d endorse it twice, if I could. :)
Now if someone would just reduce the size of the whole thing by about 30%, it'd be perfect. Who decided to call this mobile cannon a "rifle" anyway? Good thing everyone has such fantastic upper body strength in the Falloutverse.
Am I the only one who's more intrigued on HOW TF does a muzzle extension help with reducing the recoil and/or sound of a F*CKING electromagnetic weapon? I mean, there isn't propellant gases to redirect, nor could you actually silence the sonic boom of something travelling at Mach 3+... Yeah, I know for gameplay balances and the like we would need something like that, but at least I do not really need to see something sticking out of the muzzle like a sore thumb.
For the same reason you have to stick to Bellisario's Maxim when you realize that laser weapons have recoil, despite light being massless...
And i agree, the gauss rifle is great to use with power armor becouse it looks bulky and big, wich in combination with the PA should give a juggernaut feel, thing is with the muzzles they look ridiculous so no luck, i've played with anti-materiel sniper rifle mods that look less stupid when held, despite the thing being longer than my character's height.

Great work!

Use your mod with Gauss Rifle Cover Reskin , so nice.
Vanilla textures are just ugly.
Endorsed.
perhaps full retex without the wire
