ABOUT
Submachine Gun Improvements is a small overhaul of the submachine gun that includes balance adjustments, new attachments, and assorted bug fixes.

FEATURES

• Balance adjustments:

  • Increased base damage from 13 to 18.
  • Removed 25% damage penalty applied to all receivers.
  • Increased range of barrels to provide more range than a pistol but less than a rifle.
  • Lowered critical charge bonus from 5x to 1.5x.
  • Adjusted crafting recipes and perk requirements for a handful of attachments.
  • Increased the level at which attachments will appear on the weapon. (This was previously very low, meaning you could get a fully-upgraded submachine gun before level 20.)

• New attachments:

  • Standard Grip (no stock)*
  • Reflex Sight (Circle)
  • Standard Magazine (30 round stick magazine)**
  • Quick Eject Magazine (30 round stick magazine)**
  • Bayonet
  • Short Scope
  • Short Night Vision Scope
  • Short Recon Scope
  • Medium Scope
  • Medium Night Vision Scope
  • Long Scope
  • Long Night Vision Scope
  • Long Recon Scope

• Reworked existing attachments:

  • Renamed Short Light Barrel to Finned Barrel.
  • Suppressor now uses the vanilla hunting rifle suppressor mesh. (I felt this fit better than the combat rifle suppressor that was used before.)
  • Short Stock was slightly buffed to provide better handling over the Standard Grip.
  • Full Stock features a brand new mesh.*
  • Recoil Compensating Stock was renamed to Tactical Stock and features a brand new mesh.***

• Added new attachments to mod collections so they will appear on submachine guns found in the world.

• Renamed to .45 Submachine Gun.

• Removed unused and unnecessary attach points, keywords, and properties from various OMODs.

• Created a random object template. (This is useful for spawning in weapons from the console.)

• Fixed an issue where the Glow Sights attachment didn't use the proper INNR naming rules.

• Fixed an issue where the Muzzle Brake and Suppressor clipped into the tip of the barrel.

• Adjusted a small handful of names and descriptions.

*Standard Grip and Full Stock assets created by and used with permission from Satojo.
**Stick magazine assets created by and used with permission from asXas.
***Tactical Stock assets created by and used with permission from Micalov.

REQUIREMENTS
None, aside from the base game.

INSTALLATION
Install using a mod manager such as MO2 or Vortex.

COMPATIBILITY & KNOWN ISSUES
I have not tested this alongside any other mod that modifies the submachine gun. You should assume that **any mod that modifies the Submachine Gun will conflict with this mod.**This includes mods such as Tactical Reload and See Through Scopes. Please note that I do not use either mod, so I am unable to provide a patch for them.

I've integrated the following mods into this (with permission from the original authors), so these should not be used with this mod:

• Military Stock for Tommy by Satojo

• Stockless Tommy by Satojo

• Stick Mag for Submachine Gun by asXas and Fiddler Green

• Tacticool Thompson Submachine Gun Stock by Micalov

The only exception would be for mods that only modify textures. Even still, I cannot guarantee that there won't be minor visual issues. Use with other mods at your own discretion.

You can reach out via the Posts tab if you encounter any bugs or issues. However, please make sure to provide your load order and a list of steps to replicate the issue.
