A small overhaul of the laser musket.

ABOUT
The laser musket is a fascinating weapon concept with a lot of unique features. When it comes to gameplay, though, I find that that the weapon's unique features restrict its function to very specific playstyles.
This mod attempts to fix that by overhauling the weapon, adding a few new attachments, and more. The weapon should now function like a combination of the vanilla hunting rifle and laser gun.
FEATURES
REQUIREMENTS
None, aside from the base game.
INSTALLATION
Install using a mod manager such as MO2 or Vortex.
KNOWN ISSUES & COMPATIBILITY
There is a small issue where the receiver won't always glow or play the firing sound if your ammo capacity is above 6. I have plans to address this in the future.
I have not tested this mod alongside any other laser musket mod, but it should be assumed that any other mod that also alters the laser musket will conflict with this one.
If you use eyeshkeeper's Post-Apocalyptic Laser Musket Replacer, you'll need this patch provided by Gek2Win: Laser Musket Improvements - Post-apocalyptic homemade weapons patch.
We Are The Minutemen also makes minor changes to the laser musket weapon. Load this mod after in order to get the benefits and changes of this mod. No compatibility patch is needed.
No changes were made to Preston's laser musket.

- Changed the reload animation to use the automatic crank animation.
- Increased damage from 30 to 37.
- Reduced weight from 8 to 5.
