Skyrim GUNMOD Redux Part 1 - M1 Garand 1.0.2

Skyrim GUNMOD Redux Part 1 - M1 Garand

 

Introduction:

 Essentially, what this mod does is add an M1 Garand to your game. For those that may not know, an M1 Garand is a WWII era rifle originally manufactured by Springfield Armory. It chambers a .30-06 (7.62mm) round. This gun was originally introduced into Skyrim by a guy named xillus on MODDB alongside a handful of other guns. The original mod is unfinished and very buggy, so what this project aims to do is redo each weapon individually from scratch. Since the project as a whole is a WIP, for the time being, each weapon will be uploaded as it's own file. When every weapon is updated, refined, and working properly, they'll all be made into a single file. Each single file will still be left available for download as well, for those that may not want every weapon but instead just one or two.

 

About the Weapon:

 The weapon can be crafted at any forge with 2 steel ingots and 3 firewood. The ammunition can be crafted with 1 fire salt and 1 steel ingot. Considering a real world M1 Garand features a clip that holds 8 rounds, each time you craft ammo you'll be given 8 rounds. When you equip the weapon you'll be able to fire it semi-auto thanks to J3X generously allowing users to freely use his assets. That said, his mod is not required for this mod to function properly, but I still highly recommend using it anyway and checking out his other mods, he does fantastic work.

 

Requirements:

 This mod doesn't require anything other than the base game and the Dawnguard DLC. However, the weapon is optimized for use with Yurica's Musketeer Animations. So I highly recommend you consider using those alongside this or the weapon positioning may be off.

 

Installation:

 To install manually, take the files included in this mod and drop them into your Skyrim\Data folder. I recommend using a mod manager, however.
