Description
===========

Adds Malcolm Holmes Ol' Kneecapper, which is a Sawed Off Single Shot 12 Gauge Double Barrel Shotgun to the game.

Details
=======

First of all, I want to say this mod uses the Excellent Textures provided by this mod:

Sawed-Off Shotgun Retexture by Millenia: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/41809

So if you want yours to look like mine in this mod you must use Millenia's textures.

All the screenshots shown are using that texture.


ApocalypticGirl gave me a mesh that when used with Millenia's textures, Malcolm Holmes Ol' Kneecapper, will show the correct Red 12 Gauge Shells.


Millenia's texture, Is A Requirement, If you want the Red 12 Gauge Shotgun Shells in this shotgun.


Please use the vanilla version if the 12 gauge shell color doesn't matter for you.


I really like using shotguns in this game, they have a Great Ammo Selection, especially with the GRA DLC 12 gauge rounds.

I also like using the Ol' Kneecapper from Fallout 3, and that inspired me to make this mod.

It is a Single Shot, Sawed Off 12 Gauge Double Barrel, and it is the personal side arm of Malcolm Holmes.

He will not give it to you or sell it to you, if you want it you will have to take it from his recently dead body.

Also added in this game are Malcolm's Roving Trader Gear, which have some very nice effects that you can see in the screen shot area of this mod page.


Malcolm is not a push over and will not take kindly to you for trying to kill him and take his gear.

His health, combat style, and class have been changed to allow him to defend himself from attacks upon his person by anybody or anything.

So be ready for a fight and potential death on your part when trying to obtain his gear.

Especially if you are starting the game with Vanilla weapons and no DLC's.

The Concentrated Fire, And Stay Back, and the Shotgun Surgeon Perks, as well as the GRA 12 gauge ammunition, and a High Agility, will make this shotgun the best it can be, the mod has been designed to take that into consideration.

If used properly with that in mind, this Might Be the only weapon you would need to carry, besides a good knife maybe.

Remember, It Is A Kneecapper. lol

Malcolm Holmes Ol' Kneecapper, has also been added to all applicable lists, Including The Cowboy Perk.
