AWAD - Automatic Weapons Are Dangerous
Should be a good start for ya's. Still thinking regarding the range reduction.
Whisper, I kind of try to keep to myself when it comes to all things weapon-mods. So in no way think I am making a request, but you seriously have my attention with this one.
YOUR TIME HAS COME - hahahaha, common sense!
Just a humble thought on Auto-weapons.
Damage - Oh hell yes, equal damage. Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Trade-off:
Accuracy
Recoil
Range! YES, YOU OWN IT!
"To-come:
* range reductions for automatic weapons are removed (variant file)"
Ok, I really don't think the range should in any way be nurffed, after reading the nexus. Same idea behind the damage as you pointed out. WOW-Great!
The same weapon and (barrel) with 3 selections, "single burst and full-auto" would all have the near same max range "effective range of bullets," but "aimed-shots nope". All about the effect of recoil on accuracy on everything after bullet #1. In real operations, It happens often where a friendly unit will take fire from a firefight happening at a distance far and away outside of any max-effective fire range "point or area." haha, them bullets can start to spin and tumble but can sure make for a bad day on soft targets even nearing the end of the trajectory.
Here for a protagonist, the effect is if a player goes hog wild with auto-fire then maybe you knock down a few companions or kill a few NPC's.
As is, I will download for the acronym alone. What a perfect name AWAD. As someone who has experienced a few excited AWAD's shooting my direction. I most emphatically Endorse the need for your mod! Really great idea!
AWAD - Automatic Weapons Are Dangerous - oh -yes! Yes, they are. Oh, good lord "yes!"

As-is: super great idea. If someone whats to modify your creation they should just open FO4edit and adjust to their liking. I may try to convert it to an esl but don't know if it will work as all the other weapon mods I have could be an issue and don't know how DLC play into this?
