Description
Patches the .300 Blackout and .458 SOCOM ammo types to have damage.
Overview
By default, the .300 Blackout and .458 SOCOM ammo conversions will do almost no damage due to not being vanilla ammo types. This mod gives them damage values so that they can actually be used.
I balanced the .300 Blackout around vanilla 7.62 ammo considering the bullet itself is very similar but I did give it a little more damage than 7.62 to give an actual reason to use it instead of 5.56 or another 7.62 weapon. True Damage gives 7.62 35 damage. This mod gives .300 Blackout 37 damage. I justify this because .300 Blackout was designed to be used in close range and most combat in Fallout 4 is usually in close range so I feel that it doing slightly more damage than 7.62 makes some sense. At least from a gameplay perspective.
I balanced .458 SOCOM around .308 with a small buff. Again, this was to keep the round as a viable ammo type. The .458 SOCOM has a larger bullet diameter than .308 but typically has less energy at the muzzle. True Damage gives .308 40 damage. This mod gives .458 42 damage. While .308 should realistically have more damage, I wanted to keep .458 as a viable alternative for ammo considering it is used only in this one weapon. It has slightly more damage than .308 but not an excessive amount.
Compatibility
Should be compatible with most mods. This mod only modifies two records, AmmoMK18_300BLK and AmmoMK18_458SOCOM. So long as another mod does not modify these, this should work. In the event of a conflict, load this mod lower or the changes will be overwritten. This mod technically does not require True Damage in the sense that it is not a dependency but is not recommended to be used without it as these ammo conversions will become overpowered.
