About this mod
Adds new receivers to the Minigun to increase damage, and slightly reworks the barrels.

Yes, more than a dozen Minigun improvement mods already exist on the Nexus, so what makes this one so special? Well, it's my first one, and I can make/change it any way I want! Comments, critiques, suggestions, and feedback are all welcome and appreciated.
So, what exactly does it do?
-Increased Minigun base damage to 10 from 8. Makes the weapon stronger, and allows damage increases from perks to be properly shown in integer form (8*1.2=9.6 --> 10*1.2=12).
-Added 4 receivers (including a "standard" one), each adding 20% damage per category (vanilla Accelerated Barrel adds 15%, and vanilla Tri Barrel adds 35%, so the final receiver will be adding quite a bit more damage at 60%).
-Added Armor Piercing to all Miniguns. Based on previous Fallout games, and real-life analogues, 5mm should have armor piercing effects; this gives a good damage increase against armored targets while still not being anywhere near overpowered.
-Rebalanced barrel damage so Standard Barrel has +10% damage, Accelerated Barrel has just base damage, and Tri Barrel has +30% damage. Adds an incentive/reason to use different barrels
-Barrels have reduced crafting perk/material requirements. Due to the added requirements of the receivers, this balances the amount of materials you should be using, as well as your damage output as you level.
-Accelerated Barrel now has a 70% spread penalty, rather than 80%. Because Jesus Christ that spread was ridiculous.
-Standard and Tri Barrel weight increases reduced. Compensates for the extra weight from the receivers.
Installation:
-7z file. Pop it in with your favorite mod manager, or install manually by unzipping into your Fallout 4 Data folder and then adding it to your plugin.txt file.
Uninstall:
-Pretty much the same process, but reversed. Miniguns should go back to normal, but some funkiness may or may not occur with the damage.
Compatibility:
-Very lightweight, so it should work with just about any other mod besides ones that modify the Minigun's stats or barrels (retextures will still work fine).
