[Frontlines] Secondary Weapon Pack
Frontlines is a primarily weapon project, essentially seeking to bring a style of arcadey early 1900s weaponry to the workshop. It also serves as a way for me to improve on modeling weapons, animating them, and learning some fun things along the way.
this took forever i am sorry and i know this will probably disappoint some but i just need this out the door

This mod contains:
– The Rother-Halt and its compact, more powerful version, the Rother-Paws, both capable and quick pistols for immediate self-defense at close range, yet deceptively capable at medium range down to their low recoil.
– The ’11 Infantry, a classic high-power pistol with workable fire rate, average capacity, and plenty of spare ammo. While it drops off at range, it’s more than usable at such distances.
– The ’11 Officer, an overcharged version of the previous pistol in the primary slot that gains an extra 2 rounds per magazine, due to the smaller caliber yet it has no reduction in stopping power. More importantly, when the pistol is in your hands, you receive half damage from all sources, and you’ll rarely be knocked off your feet. This weapon encourages extreme aggression, don’t disappoint her.
– The ’26 Backup, a simple pump-action shotgun that feels right at home when supporting rocket launchers. Wonder if that’s relevant to something. Oh well.
– The Type 8 Gyokusai, a bolt-action pistol caliber carbine made as a last-ditch weapon to stop landing forces. As the physical manifestation of an empire fighting for its life in its final moments, it’s obscenely powerful for what it is; practically a sniper rifle, if it wasn’t for how awful the ballistics are.
– The Pipeline, a submachine gun that is, in fact, not a secondary, but instead an improvised weapon due to shortages in real ones. Mediocre rate of fire, low power cartridges, but very low recoil and surprisingly long range.
– The Stovepipe and Burstpipe, two cut-down versions of the Pipeline serving as a high capacity ersatz pistol and a devastating but low capacity machine pistol, respectively. Don’t ask why we can’t swap their mags out with one another.
– The Refulgewehr-34, a flare gun that finds its niche as a long-range harassment tool or single-target self defense weapon. The flares have splash damage and the uncanny ability to immediately kill you if you’re struck by one past 75 meters or so.
Historical Section: Getting errors out of the way, the Rother-Paws is based on the Frommer Baby compact pistol in .380 but has an extra round compared to its irl counterpart in the same caliber, and I messed up the Refulgewehr’s reload animation (based on Leuchtpistole 34) but it’s not super noticeable. The Stovepipe, Burstpipe, and Pipeline are all fictional designs based near 1:1 on Fallout 4’s pipe rifle, but you could probably make them in a garage in a few minutes and they add weapon variety, so they’re in the Frontlines pack. The Rother-Halt is a Frommer Stop, nothing special. The Type 8 Gyokusai is based on the National Defense Rifle/Carbine from latewar Imperial Japan, if you look up the 8mm Nambu versions, I just hybridized the two examples that are pictured together; it’s just an extremely basic plank of wood with a bolt action on it, so I added some detail that isn’t on the real gun. ’26 Backup is based on TF2’s stock shotgun, but also is just 1:1 the Remington Model 17 20 gauge in Riot configuration I believe. The ’11 Infantry is an M1911, and the ’11 Officer is an M1911 in .38 Super with glow sights. It should be said that the ’11 Officer’s gimmick of making you really tanky and near unkillable when you pull it out is real, actually. True fact. But the history books won’t tell you that.
