Author's Description:
About this mod

Adds an early game shotgun that can be converted into an improvised explosive launcher. It is injected into the raider and gunner levelled list. Based on AsXas' pipe shotgun.

I felt the early game lacked a proper explosive weapon, like the grenade rifle in New Vegas - this mod is an attempt to bring that to the game. The raiders are crafty and I'm sure they're capable of a little more imagination than just the regular pipe gun.
It is based on AsXas' pipe shotgun, with a few custom parts, custom ammo and 6 new textures. The sounds are also custom made and I made new projectiles to balance them as much as possible. This is a new implementation so you should be safe to download both mods. It is also compatible with the other pipe shotgun mod.

It is integrated to the weapon vendors levelled list, as well as raiders and gunners. The explosive variants should be quite rare.
The weapon and its ammo are also craftable in the chemistry workbench.

Featuring:

3 new grips:

-2 pistol grips
-1 new rifle grip

4 explosive receivers:

-Improvised musket
-Explosive energy projectile (uses explosive slugs)
-Improvised grenade launcher (uses explosive slugs)
-Little Feller launcher (uses Little Feller ammo): This is a later-game option and a lighter alternative to the fat-man.

And:

-An energy shotgun receiver (uses fusion cells)
-A shielded barrel
-The original assets (long barrel, short barrel, pipe stock, receiver, bayonets and compensator)

I'm open to suggestions for in-game balancing and bug fixing! Please go easy on me, it's my first mod.

Credits:
AsXas for giving me the approval to use his original 3D model and textures of the pipe grip/ receiver and barrel.
mattsahuman for the inspiration with the original implementation of the pipe shotgun: nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11274.

Installation:
If Nexus/your mod manager asks you to overwrite Dank_GunLLInject, you should be ok to do so, it is the same file.

Known issues: 

-The animations are reused double barrel shotgun animations - they fit well enough except the regular shotgun in 3rd person (the rotation point is off). The reload is also a tiny bit off in 3rd person.
-The new models are not up to the same standard as AsXas' originals but I did my best.
