Introduction
Jury-rig a Plasma Defender to an Alien Blaster so it can use Small Energy Cells. Requires Gun Runners' Arsenal.
Description
Adds recipes to combine the Alien Blaster and either the base game's Plasma Defender or GRA's Plasma Defender with some Duct Tape (see images) to make the Jury-rigged Alien Blaster. You need Science 90 and the Jury Rigging perk (which means you also need Repair 90).
The Jury-rigged Alien Blaster uses Small Energy Cells for ammo and can be repaired using Plasma Defenders, also, it has slightly worse stats than the base Alien Blaster, for balancing purposes. Here's the full changes:
Requirements
Fallout New Vegas
Gun Runners' Arsenal
Installation
Vortex: Install as usual.
Manual: Extract into the Data folder and activate JuryRiggedAlienBlaster.esp
Disclaimer
I know that mikester112's Convert Your Alien Blaster to Use Microfusion Cells exists, and you might want to check that mod out if you're interested in this one. It just didn't do exactly what I wanted it to do so I made my own version.

| Resist Type | None | Energy Resistance |
+=============+===============+======================+
Notes:
Resist Type: This means enemies with Energy Resistance take less damage from this weapon. I don't know why this wasn't in the game to begin with, my guess is that since it was always meant to be an OP weapon the devs felt it didn't matter too much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Crit Chance: It's still more likely to crit than Pew Pew, which has the highest crit chance among Energy Weapons (2.5x), just not a 100% guarantee like it was before.
Ammo Use: Doubling the Ammo Use effectively halves the clip size (now five shots before reloading). Still better than Pew Pew though, which has similar base damage (75) but only has two shots before reloading (and costs 5 ammo to use).
Also, note that the Spread was unaltered, which in addition to the crit chance still gives this weapon a significant advantage against others in its class.
