Dardick Handguns & Carbines

Description
Ever wanted to blast Zombies with a funky chicken-leg that shoots triangular cased rounds made from plastic? Well now you can with the Dardick Series of Handguns and Carbines!

The Dardick Models are magazine-fed revolvers that use triangle shaped rounds creatively named ‘trounds’, in theory they use the triangular shape to waste less space in the magazine, thus enabling a decently high-capacity revolver! They even have the ability to change between two calibres - .22 and .38 respectively! All you need to do is screw on the barrel of the desired calibre and get to firing. Don’t think the standard revolver is enough? Slap on a compatible Carbine Kit and essentially turn the chosen Dardick into a painfully 50s experimental light rifle.
Just visit your nearest gun-selling pawn shop and scavenge for Dardicks!

Learn more about the Dardick and its funky ammo Here![en.wikipedia.org]

Why all the unnecessary modifications??
Ask David Dardick that question.

All Dardick related crafts are put in its own little crafting category excluding ammo and lootable ‘kits’. But beware, it looks hella complicated. I recommended sticking to crafting using right-click context menus on the Dardicks instead!

I made this mod as a challenge/side-project while working on a much larger project that is currently in development. I made the whole mod in roughly 24 hours! Because of this, I didn’t test it in actual gameplay too much - so I am fully open to feedback about balancing.

Ammo Types
.38 Tround
Just SLIGHTLY higher in stats to the .38 Revolver with the ability to extend its range with the Carbine Kit!
.22 Tround
Quieter than the vanilla .38 Revolver!
Technically becomes the quietest two-handed firearm with the .22 Carbine Kit!
Lower Damage, Stopping Power and Range.

Current Weapons and their variants:

Model 1500
A 15 round capacity and is the main design of the Dardick Series.

Variants
  • Model 1500 .22
  • Model 1500 3” Barrel
  • Model 1500 .22 3” Barrel
  • Model 1500 .38 Carbine
  • Model 1500 .22 Carbine


Model 1100
An 11 round capacity. It is lighter than the 1500 and designed for concealable use!... If you can even conceal this snow-globe with a pistol-grip.

Variants
  • Model 1100 .22
  • Model 1100 6” Barrel
  • Model 1100 .22 6” Barrel
  • Model 1100 .38 Carbine
  • Model 1100 .22 Carbine

Coming Soon:
Model 2000 Prototype - A rare 20 round variant of the Dardick Revolver.
A way to manufacture .38 Tround ‘adapter rounds’ from the base game .38 Special ammunition.
Fictional Apocalyptic Conversions (SALVO Tround perhaps??)

Known Issues
The Dardick Revolvers are technically ‘invincible’ if you craft them over and over. Will be finding a solution soon.

Unscrewing Barrels, Screwing Barrels and attaching Carbine kits currently EAT UP any and all of your loaded bullets. MAKE SURE TO UNLOAD YOUR WEAPONS BEFORE CRAFTING! I know this is a big ask if you're in a stressful situation, but do be aware! I surely was made aware after running out of .38 Tround and having to frantically switch to .22 Trounds while pursued by a horde.

I do NOT endorse the reupload/repacking of this mod. This includes the mods addition to ‘server-packs’. You may however post localisation sub-mods and develop your own compatibility patches that require this mod.

I recently started a new playthrough and my big thing is adding more vehicles, more foodstuffs and more guns simply for the joy of finding them (I'm the explorer type of gamer) so i just HAD to add the Dardick series to my current game! :cozytf2mug:
And yeah, the Carbines do look kinda cool.

So now I have a reason to collect all that damned .38 ammo that seems to spawn everywhere!

Thanks! I just love weird guns and I 100% agree that they look ugly, but that's for sure part of the charm! Personally? I really like the look of the Carbines.

and the funky ammo

The Dardick guns are ugly as sin but the fact that you put this obscure bit of firearms history into the game is cool AF.
Big thumbs up :spiffo:

Now just waiting to be compatible with Gunfighter/Britta...

Holy dang, I never expected this system to be modded into the game. That is really cool, nice job!
