I played around a little modding a combat shotgun. Once I figured out how some things worked, I was able to make it send NPCs flying. (Made it much more "shotgun" like. Even after playing around modding other weapons, my favorite is that trusty shotgun. It also doubled as a "Get out of the way Dogmeat!" tool. Hmmm, that gives me an idea for a rocket powered sledge hammer......... Launching raiders into outer space one at a time.
Maybe the New Bugle would print an article, "First Raider in Space."
