22LR rounds now nets 1 Primer Small Pistol and 1. Mod that edits weapons instead of headshot damage, etc.] [These changes can also give enemies more of a fighting chance if you opt to use late-game weapons.
I highly recommend installing JSawyer Ultimate Edition and letting this mod overwrite it. This mod uses JSawyer's damage values for reference. I buffed all the early game weapons and Dinnerbell.

I love Fallout New Vegas's early-game weapons.
