Description =========== this mod add to the game the Assault Rifle LR300 arpeggiator with functional under barrel grenade launcher. choose between 2 firing modes and 4 types of ammunition for the rifle, or switch to the grenade launcher with 5 different types of grenades!
among the features: - support for 3 different vanilla 5.56mm ammunitions, plus a new type of ammunition (incendiary) inspired by Fallout 3's ZhuRong round. - 5 differents grenades available for the under barrel launcher: high explosive, incendiary, plasma, pulse, radioactive. - new grenade type "radioactive": no damage on explosion but slowly kills by radiation poisoning (no effect on: robots, super mutants, ghouls). - choices menu allow you to equip the different options only via pip-boy, by fast equipping/unequipping the weapon in your inventory menu, unfortunately you cannot use a hotkey, this option would require to remake the scripting to use NVSE. - customized muzzle effect and muzzle flash color, a different color is emitted depending on the type of grenade fired. - custom explosions and sounds based on vanilla resources. - rifle deals slightly more DMG in semi mode but fire much more slowly. - scope only available when in assault rifle mode.
Vendors & Location ================== - the weapon itself can only be bought from the vendortron at the Gun Runners shop in Outer Vegas, save your caps as the weapon is expensive but..., (hint) rumor has it that a Gun Runners employee also have one, so check his person for a key or his house for a free weapon.
- ammunitions can be bought from the Gun Runners vendors (HQ & 188), Mick's / Van Graff's (Freeside), Hidden Valley, Nellis Air Force Base, note that only Gun Runners HQ have all types of ammunitions available, other vendors are more selective for their inventory... and wait for their inventory to refresh of course if the weapon/ammo(s) are not there yet after install.

Incompatibility =============== probably other mods altering the precited vendors lists/containers, not in any game breaking way, but just so that not all my changes may not be in effect, I recommend creating a merged patch using FNVedit if you have any issues, check download links to find out how.
Install/Update ============== 1. extract the files to your Fallout "Data" directory, overwrite if prompted 2. start FalloutNV Launcher (click 'Data Files') or start FOMM, check the LR300 arpeggiator.esp file.
to uninstall 1. start FalloutNV Launcher (click 'Data Files') or start FOMM, uncheck the LR300 arpeggiator.esp file. 2. delete the files & folders associated with the mod.
