BACKGROUND
In 2060, Jeffrey H. Foote, a weapon designer for the military, found a weapon blueprint left by his ancestor, John P. Foote, designated MG-69 Light Machine Gun. The gun itself never progressed beyond prototype, so Jeffrey decided to improve the design and submit it to the military for production. The gun went many tests and changes, and coincidentally, the final design was completed in 2069, thus it's designated as MG-69, referencing the original design.

The gun, despite only 200 units were produced due to resource scarcity, hence the wood furniture, served a great role during Sino-American War, mainly used by American T-51 units. Its unique mechanism of the receiver made the already powerful .308 caliber more devastating against armor, making fights against Chinese heavy troopers and Chimera tanks a walk in the park. It also worked the other way around, as a dozen of the gun fell into Chinese hands during Yangtze Campaign. The operation was successful, though tens of power armor suffered heavy damage because of this.

Long after the Great War, the blueprints of this gun were among those recovered by factories such as Gun Runners, continuing the production of the gun. It became far more common post-war than it was during the war. Since the NCR Army preferred the Minimi as their choice of support weapon, the MG-69 became popular in Midwest and East Coast via trade. The Gunners in particular made a good use of the gun, especially in their fights against the Brotherhood of Steel, due to it being a good counter for power armor.

OVERVIEW
This mod will make Dak's MG69 into a standalone weapon, labeled "Foote Light Machine Gun" to keep in line with "vanilla" naming, with stat adjusted to differ it from the vanilla "assault rifle", inspired by jkruse05's AARP, a selected set of attachments, automatic only (you won't find nonsensical naming such as Automatic Machine Gun or such), a built-in armor piercing capability, and leveled list integration (thanks to DankRafft for his script).
A quick introduction of the weapon's base stats:
  • Damage: 30
  • Ammo type: .308 Caliber
  • Ammo cap: 30 rounds
  • Fire rate: 100
  • Weight: 16
  • AP cost: 40
  • Value: 150

ACQUISITION
The weapon will appear on vendors, Gunners, BoS soldiers, Raiders, Minutemen, and Railroad agents starting from level 30.

REQUIREMENTS
Obviously, MG69 - Dak's Assault Rifle Replacer. Any version works, this mod replaces the .esp file from the original mod.
For AARP patch, AARP (Alternative Assault Rifle Properties) 2.0 is required (addon version only, the replacer version changes the meshes for drum mag).

INSTALLATION
As this is just an .esp replacer, just install it over the original mod.
For AARP patch, put AARP (addon version) below MG69 (anything in between shouldn't be a problem), then put the patch below AARP.
