🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a replacer, it will overwrite the original Chinese Pistol model—make sure you back up your game's Data folder if you want to revert.
If you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer 2, just drop the mod in and activate it; load order shouldn't matter for a simple replacer.
Check if you have other mods that alter the Chinese Pistol—they might conflict, so load this one last or use a compatibility patch if needed.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community favorite with 1,722 endorsements and nearly 35k downloads—proven quality.
- Scratch-made model means it's not a lazy port; it's built from the ground up for Fallout: New Vegas.
- Covers both the standard Chinese Pistol and the unique Zhu-Rong, so you get consistent visuals across the board.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2012—might not play nice with newer mods or DLC that touch the same assets.
- No gameplay changes; if you're looking for a damage or handling tweak, this isn't it.
- Only replaces two weapons—if you wanted a full Mauser pack with multiple variants, you'll need to look elsewhere.
