All Pipe Guns are lighter in weight and have been renamed Raider Guns to reflect the apocalyptic tribal gangs who use them most. At the same time, I want to preserve the dynamic of vanilla Fallout 4.
So, Pipe guns for the most part are basically the joke of the wasteland. It can be upgraded to a.50 sniper rifle by gun nut level two. Mod by The6thMessenger: Unfortunately, not all of them are very well balanced so the player ends up with a very limited selection. It weighs only about half as much as a hunting rifle upgraded to.50 calibre.
