About this mod
Pewsmithing (as in Pew Pew!) is my attempt at bringing the genius of Puppettron's excellent Gunsmithing mod (that you should be using!) to the energy weapons in Fallout NV and Fallout TTW (I think).
You can break them down into components and build your own energy weapons from the parts (plasma and laser), including some new custom ones.

I'm a novice mod author so I'm starting light, so far this will allow you to break down and craft a few simple laser weapons, for example, you can turn two laser pistols into one laser rifle (after breaking them down into lore friendly components).
I have also created two weaker variants of existing laser weapons, a Scatter Laser (modified from the Tri-beam) and an Electrolaser Pistol, (modified from the Compliance Regulator). Both are weaker than their respective original templates, (my Scatter laser actually has more spread but 4 beams) but still useful.
I hope to expand it all, as I learn how to mod, into something much broader, like the Gunsmithing mod, with perks and leveled list changes. Perhaps even eventually a quest!
I'm going to be adding more new weapons (some based on DLC and unique variants), hopefully branching out into plasma and others. Eventually, I hope to revamp the entire energy weapon system of the game, I've always felt they were a bit neglected and without the broad variety that guns bring to the table. It also makes little sense that energy weapons have basically made zero progress in over 200 years, even with the Enclave and the Brotherhood both preferring them. I plan on remedying this when I get to phase 2.
I would be eager for any good modeler/texture artists that are interested in collaborating on new designs, (I don't have any clue about that kinda thing), I really can't stand the existing look of the energy weapons, they seem completely impractical from a combat viewpoint and the plasma ones are just plain ugly.
0.2.1 Update - Added basic plasma weapon construction and deconstruction, you can now scrounge together parts and build your own Plasma Defender if your Science skill is high enough. Also added in a Heavy Laser, basically the Laser version of the Anti-Material rifle. Model and Textures from Cool Lasers HD
for now at least, since I know squat about modeling.
I'll look at adding another weapon or two, and heavy weapons in 0.3 over the next couple of days. I'm open to comments, constructive criticisms, balance suggestions, etc.. Enjoy!
