Skyrim GUNMOD Redux Part 4 - AA-12
Â
Introduction:
This is the fourth weapon to be updated and enhanced in the Skyrim GUNMOD Redux Project. The project aims to individually rework each weapon added in xillus' GUNMOD. More information about the full project can be found here.
Â
About the Weapon:
The Auto Assault-12, or AA-12 for short, is a fully-automatic combat shotgun. This is the first full-auto weapon I've added in this project mainly because they're obviously stupid OP in a game like Skyrim and this weapon is no exception. But if you were really worried about being too OP or unlorefriendly you probably wouldn't be reading this and considering this mod right now. Anyway, the weapon can be crafted with some steel and ebony ingots. The two ammo types (buckshot and slugs) can be crafted with steel ingots and fire salts, and you get 20 shells each time you craft. Buckshot does more damage but has a shorter range, slugs do less damage but are more effective at longer ranges. The weapon features custom firing sounds, equip/unequip sounds, bolt pull sounds, and shell eject sounds. Custom animations are also available but not required because they will override some of your current crossbow animations. I still highly recommend using them because they look great with crossbows and any of the weapons I've uploaded, not to mention all my weapon mods on this site are optimized for use with these animations, so if you don't use them the position of the weapon will most likely be off and you'll experience clipping.
Â
Requirements:
Skyrim
Dawnguard
(Optional) Yurica's Musketeer Animations
(This is all you need from that mod page, the full mod is not required)
Â
Installation:
Use a mod manager or if you want to install manually just drop the files included in the download into your Skyrim\Data folder.

Sample Video:
Â
If you're wondering why it has little to no recoil in the video, that was done on purpose. AA-12's are known for having very little recoil. It's a pretty impressive weapon. Check out FPSRussia's old video on them if you're curious.

Other Mods:
What's New in Version 1.0.1
Released
v1.0.1
-Added optional semi-automatic version. I recommend using it for better balance. The semi-auto version does less damage per second but has higher critical damage. Installation instructions included in the new download. Note that this is an optional download, meaning the original file is still required.
