[quote=RoyBatty]There's a crap ton of wild edits that need to be removed from it. I also had to fix several scripts and stuff which you could carry over. JRCO is pretty nice guy, I'm sure he'll give permission.

Yeah, I've contacted him a few times with bug reports on the various versions he's done. He's always been nice, and receptive about bugs and suggestions.
EDIT: Tried to leave a PM for him over at Nexus...

Woah! How do you guys find these issues in Fallout games? Why are they released with so many bugs? I wonder what`s left for this release.
There's hundreds of thousands of records, of course there is going to be bugs in such huge games.
Fixed the revolver cylinder glitch? You mean the one where the speed loader stays attached to the cylinder after reloading?
I personally don't see how .357, 9mm, or 20ga are useless. The Police Pistol, Maria, and the Lever Action Shotgun are all perfectly usable weapons, at least with vanilla New Vegas balancing. You don't need to use the VERY BEST weapon of a given type of be effective. Although I agree that .22 is pretty much garbage for most purposes.

The 360 low frequency effects flag was missing from some weapon fire sounds which makes them not sound right with surround sound.
The weapon balancing is meant to progress from tier0 to tier4 where the higher the level you get the lower tier weapons become less effective or even useless. That's by design to give all the weapons in the game a purpose. They may still be useful for low level creatures like rad roaches, but in hardcore the ammo weight is better used on more effective weapons and low level creatures taken care of with melee.
Perhaps that is the "intended" design, but honestly, the game is easy enough that you can do the whole thing using any weapon you choose. If you want to use only a 9mm pistol, or even a Laser Pistol, it is totally possible to do so.
This is true especially if you invest in non-combat skills such as Sneak and Speech, but even without them it is still possible. For role play reasons, you might choose to use a specific weapon despite it's objective inferiority. Do note that I am talking about VANILLA TTW/FNV balancing, this might not be possible with certain mods installed.
"Who are you, who do not know your history?"
You might be able to play the whole thing with a fork, but I prefer to play through with a .50 caliber sniper rifle with explosive ammo. 
Are there forks in New Vegas? I thought that was a Skyrim thing... anyway, I am not recommending using weak weapons. Rather, I was just saying that it is possible to use them, especially with the right perks, modifications, and special ammo. However, I think I might be derailing this thread somewhat, so I will leave the weapons alone.
