About this mod
Rechambers the Minigun and CZ57 Avenger to .308 and/or the Shoulder Mounted Machine Gun (SMMG) to 5.56mm. Rebalances the weapons in accordance with their new calibers. The user may download only one of the two rechamber files, or a combined file.

- Changelogs
This mod does either or both of the following things:
Rechambers the Minigun and CZ57 Avenger to .308 caliber and rebalances both weapons with this in mind. Damage per shot has been increased and fire rate has been reduced. To account for the loss of the 10 DT reduction per shot offered by 5mm ammo, the DPS of both weapons is raised by about 60. Using standard ammunition, they have a similar feel as before.
Rechambers the Shoulder Mounted Machine Gun (SMMG) to 5.56mm and rebalances it. It now does less damage per shot than the rebalanced Minigun, but the fire rate has been greatly increased, while the DPS remains about the same. The ability to use armor piercing ammunition should make up for the reduced damage per shot. It now feels much more like an actual gatling-type machine gun.
REQUIREMENTS
Versions of the minigun rechamber are available either for use with the base game, or with the DLCs. All SMMG rechamber versions require Lonesome Road.
KNOWN ISSUES
None. Please report anything you find in the comments.
CONFLICTS
This mod will conflict with anything that alters the Minigun, the CZ57 Avenger, the SMMG, or their related "WithAmmo" leveled lists. If choosing the "Advanced" version of the mod, it could conflict with anything that alters the various Sentry Bot enemies in the game, their NPC weapons, and a couple of worldspaces/interiors including The Devil's Throat and the BoS Safehouse. Also, it won't conflict with YUP; I integrated its SMMG fixes into this mod.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend using the following mods together with this one:
.308 to 7.62mm Full Rename with New Texture, since the minigun rechamber versions make more sense in tandem with it. It's fully compatible with this mod. Alternatively, you could also use Rifle and Handgun Ammo Overhaul, where all the "military" ammo types have the 7.62mm nomenclature, and 7.62mm ammo is less powerful than .308 ammo.
5mm Assault Weapons Pack, which will provide some more 5mm weapons to use (considering that if you install this mod, the Assault Carbine will be the only 5mm weapon in the game).
OPTIONAL FILES
The versions marked "Advanced" change more than just the "WithAmmo" leveled lists and weapon forms, but they could introduce additional conflicts if your game is heavily modded. The "Advanced" versions make Sentry Bots armed with non-player miniguns carry and use .308 ammunition so that you will find it on them when they're killed. The "Advanced" version also changes a couple of instances where 5mm ammo was found in the game world together with miniguns (see Conflicts).
INSTALLATION
Only download ONE of the seven files, depending on your preference. Put the contents of the mod folder (the folder with the .esp inside of it) into your Data folder, or use a mod manager. To uninstall, delete the mod's files (.esp and texture for minigun versions only) or uninstall using a mod manager.
ADDENDUM
I have made a lot of mods. Because I like to create different versions to give the user plenty of options, it's extremely difficult for me to bundle my mods together. I recommend getting the FNV Mod Limit Fix by iranrmrf, or try using a tool like Merge Plugins by Mator.
