Description
Makes the senator feel more like the ranger sequoia from Fallout New Vegas. Uses ballistics data from https://shopkahrfirearmsgroup.com/bfr-factoids.asp/ to estimate velocity of projectile and weight.
5 shots instead of 6, increased damage, increased durability damage. No change to penetration values. Fire rate matches values from Fallout New Vegas, haven't touch reload speed. Decreased ergo because BIG IRON is heavy.

Unsure how to calculate the ballistics for that in Helldivers2 yet! Damage and Durability Damage values I haven't settled on, but they are balanced somewhere between the bolt pistol and the senator. FEEDBACK WELCOMED.

Installation instructions
Drag and drop zip file into your mod manager. (I use Arsenal) Bingus loader is last in load order. HD2Runtime at the top of load order.

Requirements
Requires Bingus Shared Loader v15+ / API 1 and HD2Runtime 0.27.0+ / API 1; install dependencies separately.
Model replacement from EverDKL (Nexus)

Does 5 shooter mean it won't perform the speed loader anymore?

Well put me upside down in a telephone poll.... BIG IRON still uses speedloader at 5 rounds!!!

good mod but saw no reason to completely screw up the ergonomics.If it weren't for that, I would use it.

show me a real vid of u one handing a 7" barrel big bore revolver and if you got the grip strength to not wobble through an entire cylinder, I'll concede the value's too low and bump it back up

After playing with the mod for a while, my main annoyance is the RPM, second shot comes off too slow and come off as wondering "why isn't it shooting when I'm spam clicking where I expect it to?"

I request slightly higher RPM, it's the same deal as Evictor rn, the RPM don't align with it's fast pump action animation. Mod itself feels good to use, 2 taps alphas in the head if close enough. The ideal breakpoint.

you could balance this by adding even higher recoil, I barely see the reticle move when shooting BIG IRON. Somewhere around Bolt Pistol is where you feel it. I like to imagine this gun as a 500 Bushwhacker magnum in recoil

It would be better if the damage were 450—double the amount—instead of 300...
