Fallout 4 style gun bashing for ballistic pistols and energy pistols. Pretty much like what it sounds, pistol whipping trouble makers. You select a hotkey to change your pistol from a ranged weapon to a melee weapon (and back again). Requires NVSE

This is a beta mod and I'm sure it's going to have some glitches, so it's probably a good idea to make a save before activating the mod. And if you want to uninstall it, make sure to set all your weapons back to ranged before doing so.

For some reason what should be the easiest part of the script, the hotkeys, are problematic so you may need to try a couple of times to register your hotkey. The message boxes will walk you through it (just takes a moment or two).

I haven't had a chance to play test this mod for much more than a couple of minutes, but I have noticed that "that gun" doesn't seem to inflict any damage at all (I only had the chance to try 4 or 5 pistols). Currently changing your weapon from ranged to melee affects all weapons (as the base form is changed). That is a result of the current NVSE functions (but see below). I'v included almost all pistols for FONV except companion specific ones and the cameras. I'll upload some optional versions for those that want specific DLCs and one including FONV and all DLCs, later this evening.

If the mod has any interest, in the future I'd like to;
swap out the players weapon for a special, unique versions (via script, transparently) that would allows changes to teh players weapon without affecting any other weapons.
Move the code in object scripts to the quest script (to prevent other mods overwriting the weapon forms).
Reduce the damage from pistol whipping (currently does the full firearm damage) to the level of 20 or 25 (equal to brass knuckles, for example, maybe slightly more for larger pistols). 
Swap out other details like sound effects, impact sets etc.
Implement a gun bashing perk (in the same way that certain weapons give the grunt or cowboy +25% damage, a Gunbashing perk for pistols)
And probably a whole host of bug fixes.

Feedback and testing would be appreciated (as I have *very* limited time for modding) as well as ideas or suggestions for the mod.
