I noticed that the gun was not able to use all .44 cal ammo types, but it is easily fixable in FNVedit. You simply have to change ammo section to AmmoList44Magnum [FLST:001537E4]
This weapon never made that much sense to me! I mean I love it, when I used to play New Vegas unmodded back in the day, this was in fact my go to gun! But I've always had a few problems with it. First of all it wasn't very powerful, especially in the vanilla version of the game without any DLCs! It wouldn't fire very far, it would most of the time not do much damage either, and to my knowledge it was the heaviest pistol/revolver in the game! The only advantage it really had was the fact that it was a handgun that could fire an armor piercing round.
Which leads me to my second problem! A pistol firing a .223/5.56 cal round makes almost no sense at all, because these rounds a reliant on velocity rather than the sheer weight of the bullet. And how is this velocity best achieved you ask! Well that is very simple, high quality gunpowder and an also very important fact, Barrel Length! The lengthier the barrel the more effective the round! Now what do you think happens to this round when firing it from a barrel that can't be any longer than that of regular Glock pistol?
On the other hand as .44 cal, suddenly this thing starts making perfect sense! Mostly due to the fact that this thing seems to have some sort of recoil mechanism built in to it, making fast repeated fire actually possible! Because that was the biggest problem of the .44, Recoil! Most guns simply could not handle the round, they just could not fire fast enough! In that respect the .44 mag revolvers are more like very portable short barreled rifles rather than a handguns (which does have it's advantages). Still they are not very suitable in the long term, and the .357s tend to out-preform them!
Also I'm pretty sure this has a far better seal between the barrel and it's revolver assembly. Probably giving that .44 bullet even more power!
Can you possibly make a version that makes it sold in Chets store for a similar price to That Gun and place a version next to That Gun, as that would make more sense?
