While I am not utilizing the ESPs or scripts for any of these other mods, I would like to reference authors who have done similar work and inspired the changes I have made in this mod which I have simulated from scratch. I also reference them with the intention that if my overall vision is not appreciated, that there are alternatives in the nexus which inspired parts of what I aimed to achieve here:
-Guidaye's "Realistic Guns and Bullets Overhaul" - Inspired to change receivers and barrels to give guns a better feel for niche upgrading.
-Lythael's "Useful Pulse and Cryo Explosives 1.1b" - Was reminded how ineffective and generic vanilla representation was for damage types.
-Zzyxzz's "Better Power Armor - A Power Armor Overhaul" - Really liked how the power armor was properly represented as a mobile weapons platform.
-I also recommend the "Lore Friendly DLC Weapons in Commonwealth (Injector)" by Brywood and their scripter a_blind_man which I had been using exclusively up until I modified the leveled lists in the extended version of KIWF.
Objective:
Basic Version - Rebalance the trouble child weapons (compeleted)
Extended Version - Expand on the previous to hell and back (WIP, See below)
Compatibility vs Incompatibility *IMPORTANT* (UPDATED: 2019.03.01!)
BACK UP YOUR SAVED GAME, IT *CAN* BE CORRUPTED UPON REMOVAL OF KIWF (Perk changes are the source). Extended Version - Expand on the previous to hell and back (WIP, See below)
Compatibility vs Incompatibility *IMPORTANT* (UPDATED: 2019.03.01!)
REQUIRED - Armor and Weapon Keywords Community Resource
-Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch - COMPATIBLE IF - Needs to be loaded BEFORE KIWF.
-PROJECTILE mods - NOT Compatible - anything that changes the actual projectile data. I've now tampered with every projectile.
-PROJECTILE VISUAL mods - COMPATIBLE IF - Only if it's a replacer that does not alter the projectile data itself but just replaces the mesh and tex.
-Extreme Particles Overhaul by MaxG3D - NOT YET Compatible - I have permission to make a compatibility patch, but I am waiting untill I get to v100m for this.
-Glowing Animals Emit Light by mm137 - VIRTUALLY COMPATIBLE - load below KIWF, so it replaces my glowing super mutant.
-LEGENDARY mods - NOT Compatible - v050e and above, any mod that touches the common perk and L-list. exception to v100m down the road.
-COMPANION mods - COMPATIBLE - Lower in load order (Codsworth, Curie (Robot/Syth) or Strong) so it overrides anything KIWF does.
-STANDALONE WEAPON mods - COMPATIBLE IF - Lower in load order AND go into the kit/editor and improve base damage by 5% or 10% for balance.
-VANILLA WEAPON mods - NOT Compatible (TEXTURE ONLY OKAY) - one mod would override the other depending on load order.
-Realistic Guns and Bullets Overhaul - NOT Compatible - redundant function, one mod will horribly override the other.
-Useful Pulse and Cryo Explosive. - NOT Compatible - redundant function, one mod will override the other.
-Better Power Armor - NOT Compatible - redundant function, one mod will override the other.
-Armorsmith Extended - COMPATIBLE IF - MUST LOAD BEFORE KIWF, or there will be problems
-Vendor inventory mods - PARTIAL COMPATABILITY - You will only be able to acquire KIWF exclusive 7.62x54r rounds via eyebot station and looting.
-We Are The Minutemen- COMPATIBLE IF - ONLY if placed BELOW KIWF.esp in LOAD ORDER, won't get my smoke grenade fix however.
-Lore Friendly DLC Weapons in Commonwealth (injector) - ?Compatible? - it's a script, redundant in function so things will appear more frequently.
-Super Mutant Redux v1.1 by MadMAX713 - COMPATIBLE IF - load below KIWF so they override my changes, some Supermutant resilience stacks.
-Deadlier Deathclaws by MPankey - COMPATIBLE IF - load below KIWF so they override my changes, some Deathclaw resilience stacks.
-Longer Power Lines by Puma361 - COMPATIBLE IF- load below KIWF, I only do 2560 distance, they have more options and versatility than I.
-Valdacil's Item Sorting by Valdacil - SHOULD BE Compatible - since VIS relies on AWKCR, it should work just fine. I do not use it, it is untested.
-Synth Overhaul - C.A.S.T by MaaroTakai - NOT YET Compatible - Permissions acquired for v100m when an optional patch will be made.
-Dismember humanoid mods - COMPATIBLE IF - load below KIWF so they overwrite my skeletons. I change damage ratios on mine but not dismember.
-*Texture Pack, SFX, Visuals, Models, Body, Particle, ENB Mods* - COMPATIBLE - ONLY ones that change the nifs not the projectiles or explosions themselves in editor.
CURRENT EXTENDED v080e (UPDATED 2019.03.01)
AWKCR compatible (and now required to function), fixes and revisits below. Minigun and Gatling Laser revisited, they ARE heavy weapons. And while there is the whole concept of "balance" i think as rare as they and as scarce the ammo, they need to be more like what they are.

Everything below is KIWF v031e and older, but current within v040e unless otherwise above specified.
Biggest Changes:
Flamer
Fire damage stacks, feels like a flamethrower again. Demo perk boots flamer and shishkebab.
-Flamer Base 9 Dmg -> 12 dmg, Type Energy -> Fire
-Flamer Ench 5 dmg per s for 3 s -> 8 dmg per sec for 3 sec ; now stacks like legendary bleeding
-Burn Receivers for laser DoT stacks as well
-Demolition perk affects
-Weapon and Base Enchantment *AND* Legendary Fire affected.
-Flamer ammo is still just as scarce. this is meant to maintain balance since the flamer is now rightly overpowered and short range.
Pulse Grenade
Now best used against ALL robot races. Weak to people and DEADLY to automatons and gen 1 and 2 synths
-Pulse enchantment change: GetRaceID "robot" races = 1
-Base Dmg (no keyword check) = 20 per second for 1 seconds. (vanilla 150 per s for 1 s) ; Total Dmg to organic 20 elec
-Bonus Dmg (keyword check) = 350 per s for 1 s (new) and 10 per s for 3 s; Total Dmg to machine 400 elec (this is before the insane machine resistances)
-Projectile, Explosion and Enchantment affected, will not work play nice with other mods that change this for Pulse Grenade.
-*SHOULD* make power armor and machines vulnerable to more damage for 3 seconds.
Silencers (and Muzzle attachments)
*Benefits only apply to player* (addperk MGEF limitations)
-25% less damage, 300% full critical. 75% Base * (200% sneak + 100%sneak) = 225% Sneak (without obtained perks)
-ie. Vanilla Silencer: 100 dmg gun + silencer = 100 dmg gun ; Sneak damage = 200
-ie. KIWF Silencer: 100 dmg gun + silencer = 75 dmg gun ; Sneak damage = 225
-Shortest barrels give 10% critical attack bonus.
-compensators and muzzlebrakes's range penalty is now a positive increase, bayonets have no decrease.
-compensators and muzzlebrakes +range +craft requirements.
-All Muzzle Attachments modified.
Semi-Auto vs Full Auto, Barrels and Mags (And a note on Gunslinger, Rifleman and Commando)
COMMANDO PERK IS REWORKED. Rifleman and Gunslinger now handle damages, Commando is like Sniper and acts as a supplementary with the old stagger and new KIWF given abilities. Damage is FLAT bullet for gun based on receiver. Caliber change damage the most significantly.
-Rifleman and Gunslinger now affect automatic damages.
-Commando is non-damage supplemental skill with various benefits.
-Reciever Semi-Auto sometimes convert ammo type sooner,
-Reciever Automatic match semi-auto of same named and caliber.
-damage scale went from 25%-45% difference to 15% difference per quality level.
-overall damage has been worked out to still do the SAME MAX VANILLA DMG with all the "best" parts.
-the gunmen in the world appear to do 25% more damage with minimal weapon mods.
-Barrels improve damage 0-30%
-Shortest - 0% dmg, 10% crit
-Short/Long - 10-20% dmg
-Longest - 25-30% dmg, Sniper 25% crit, -15% fire rate)
-RAPID receivers do base damage but more DPS than powerful autos.
-Base Weapons (all DLC) and weapon mods affected (all DLC)
-Submachinegun - 16 dmg (really 10) -> 26 dmg
-Combat Rifle - 33 dmg -> 35 dmg
-Base ammo is now .308 CG, Lesser ammo conversion is now .45 auto, no greater conversion.
-Assault Rifle - 30 dmg -> 31 dmg (to compensate for Combat Rifle adjustment)
-Vented barrels fire 10% faster.
-Handmade Rifle - 32 dmg -> 34 dmg (to compensate for Combat and Assault rifle adjustment)
-Sniper barrels shoots a LITTLE farther, Sniper receivers have greater conversion of 7.62 x 54r (new)
-THIS MEANS: enemies in the field will appear 25% more powerful on average because of the distribution of damage among the mods.
Minigun (Vertibird included)
Doesent such "as much" anymore.
-Dmg Base 8 -> 10
-50% more accurate.
-Barrel changes (all armor piercing): Std, Acc, Tri
-Vanilla dmg increase = +0% (short range bonus), +30% (15% dmg + 15% rof), +0% (+15% dmg, -15% rof, long range bonus)
-KIWF dmg increase = +10% dmg, 20% dmg (-10% dmg, +30% rof), +0% (+20% dmg, -20% rof, long range bonus)
-Ammo is still just as scarce. Can be found more in stores but more expensive.
-Minigun and mods, vertiberdench01-04 affected.
Hunting Rifle (Anti-Mat)
Damage has been upped so it is functional as a late-game weapon, being a .308 CG caliber, and a .50 Cal is closer to the New Vegas Anti-Material Rifle.
-Base damage from 37 to 39
-.50 cal does 300% base damage, Armor Penetration enchantment.
-ammo capacity 20% less for .50 and 20% more for .38 and 5.56
-Hunting rifle and mods/recipes affected.
Ammo
It's all been renamed and changed to fit the lore and economy better, and projectiles are redone in a later version.
-Ammo is scarcer in the world, more plentiful in stores
-For a less challenging play-through, scrounger and fortune finder add normally.
-Scrounger also includes DLC ammo now
-Ammo is more expensive (buying and selling)
-*New* ammo: 7.62 x 54r for handmade rifle upper tier semi-auto.
Bashing
Bayonets make the difference as does the Basher AND commando perk.
-Bayonets, stocks and weapons affected.
-Commando bonus + Blacksmith bonuses = 40% extra bash. (maxed with basher 8, 90% more damage)
-overall changes, bashing does a little over 70% (approximate) more than vanilla with bayonet, 30% without.
-Non-Heavy Guns do bash damage equal to their base weight, Heavy Guns do 50% their weight.
-Large Bayonet (most common) add 2.0 secondary dmg instead of 1.0 and require commando to craft
-Full stocks do 1.5 bashing damage (3.0 for musket), Marksman and recoil do 1.25, short do 1.0, pistol grips do 0.5
-common std base dmg went from 6 to 10. heavy and special weapons like laser musket get 12-15.
Power Armor
It is now properly represented as a mobile weapons platform. You're more deadly, but so are THEY.
-Wearers will get flat 50% weapon and explosive dmg reduction, 90% spell type.
-25% less damage from giant enemies (Deathclaws (and nuka), Mirelurk Queens and harbor Fog Crawlers) and plasma weapons.
-when wearing 6 pieces of PA
-50% less damage from medium to large sized enemies (humans, Supermutants, Yao-Guai, Radscorps, Sentry Bots, Harbor Gulpers, etc...)
-as a result, pieces last longer in combat.
-90% less damage from spells (except electric)
-When wearing PA helmet and powered FC (applies to enemies as well)
-25% shooting range
-50% more accurate
-50% less scope sway
-Pulse grenades/mines will do the most damage
-I should note:
-DROPS FOR FUSION CORES are scarcer and more unpredictable and sometimes a partial charge as low as 50% (containers).
Perks, Abilities and Crafting
Make-sense changes to crafting related perks that also affect the use of items such as wearing armor.
-Like nuka world, vanilla weapon recipes have other level requirements (so its a leveling game and scavenger hunt for parts)
-Recon scopes require science 3 only to craft
-Auto/Semi receivers upper tiers require rifleman and gunslinger (various, with gun nut sometimes commando or sniper)
-Largest magazine, rapid receivers, reflex sights and most muzzle attachments require commando (various, with gun nut)
-Some barrels, long scopes, certain muzzle brakes, recievers and quick small mags require sniper perk.
-local leader requirement removed from crafting stations.
-added to beacon, siren and scavenger workstation.
-scavenger workstation grants significantly more loot "average".
-aid items have increased craft requirements.
-mixing drugs/aid requires lvl 1 chemist/medic respectively
-creating BASE drugs/aid items for mixing requires 2 chemist/medic respectively
-See Perks/Ability list at bottom of page for more details.
Enemies
Raider/gunner Enemies with power armor will have 90% chance of full sets of their respective model, making them more challenging and rewarding to fight (unless you can sometimes steal the suits from them.) As a reminder: anything that carries a gun does what you can.
-Perk added to "most" types of following:
-SuperMutant - 30% accuracy increase, slow hp (@1% increasing 75%) and limb regen (@50% hp), 20% less damage from all sources (except exp)

OTHER (subject to additions)
Survival console has been enabled because... fuck losing 2 hours of progress because you get stuck between a wall and another object and cant move.
CHANGES TO HIT POINTS and also a re balance of the minuteman radiants.
-Changed minutemanradiant to 1 instead of 3
-changed artillery smoke grenade projectile (goes off after 2 full seconds, this increases range)
-SURVIVAL CONSOLE ENABLED
-because fuck losing 2 hours of progress when you clip into a wall and cant get out.
-because fuck sleeping on a sleeping bag and getting a debuff just because you want to save.
-HP DEBUFF
-Vanilla = END/2 + 2.5 = 3-7 hp per PC level. (fractions counted)
-KIWF v040e = 0 hp per PC level. (fractions counted)

Weapon By Weapon:
Pipe Weapons (Semi-auto, Revolver and Bolt)
Virtually the same overall.
-Overall dmg unchanged.
-mod dmg increments changed from 25% to 15% and distributed.
-crafting requirement changes.
Laser Weapons (Institute and Common)
The weapons feel different than ballistic weapons now.
Laser Musket just got an appropriate damage buff for the sake of it's lore. It will still be great and fashionable as a mid-game weapon.
-Changes hover around vanilla damages, still generally better than tier 2 ballistic weapons.
-Commons = aprox 10% more damage with slower fire rates
-Institute = Fire faster, more accurate, less recoil.
-Focus Lens 10-15% more damage Common, 10-15% more range Institute.
-Gyro more stable (it didn't do that much before...)
-CURRENTLY SATISFIED, PLEASE COMMENT CONCERNS/SUGGESTIONS!
Submachinegun
NOW it's a gun that's good to have in your inventory (beware the triggermen)
-Base damage 16(10) -> 26
-Auto reciever, 15% dmg per quality change
-Rapid = 40% faster fire rate, thats 10% more DPS than Powerful at cost of ammo consumption.
Combat Rifle
CHAMBER CHANGED, it's now a .308 CG cause that makes ****ing sense.
-Base damage increase from 33 to 35
-Base ammo .45 auto changed to .308 CG
-THIS is why you will note that assault rifles and the DLC4 handmade rifle now do about 10% more damage overall (so they maintain their tier)
Combat Shotgun
Appropriate changes.
-receiver mod dmg tweaks, new algorithm.
-rapid receiver = true automatic
Assault Rifle
Re-balanced to stay in it's tier, but ultimately not the best for semi-automatic.
-Base dmg = 30 -> 31
-Short barrels shoot 10% faster, Vented shoot 10% faster (stacking logic)
-Long barrel +25% dmg, vented long = +15% dmg
-Drum magazine stores 100 ammo now (because I wanted to)
Plasma
This was almost perfect vanilla, slight changes.
-Base damage = no change.
-Mod changes = flamer + shotgun get 25-40% buff (because it served NO use other than wasting ammo)
-Automatons and power armor buffs do not protect from "super-heated ionized metal", so vanilla damage.
-Barrels get +X plasma damage over 2 seconds, X based on type of barrel.
Gauss Rifle
Feels good to upgrade it now.
-Base dmg 80, scales up with mods to nearly 240 dmg before perks.
-Longest ranged weapon (exception missile launcher).
Handmade Rifle
The most versatile vanilla rifle, it still is and then some. NEW AMMO FOR SNIPER TIER RECEIVERS.
-Base dmg = 32 -> 34
-Auto scales same as other weapons
-added .308 CG conversion, 5% mroe damage and range than base (.308 CG is same as 7.62 x 39 but a little longer)
-Upper tier semi-auto becomes 7.62 x 54r type (v010e and up)
-added .308 CG conversion, 5% more damage and range than base
-Welded, shovel stock and bayonet recipes require blacksmith
-This becomes powerful very quickly on par with melee weapons.
-Barrels (traits overlap, do the work in your head)
-Sniper = +10% dmg, -10% rof, +range, +20% crit
-Long = +20% dmg
-Short = +0% dmg, +10% rof, +10% crit
-Welded = -10% dmg, +1 base bash.
Radium Rifle (BUGGED SEMI AUTO)
Do not expect great things from V010e, it's fixed in v051e.
-Auto scales same as other weapons, Rightly-OP.
-Semi-auto stays .45 cal and turns into charging attack with higher end receivers boosting radiation damage. (BUGGED v030e and v040e)
Explosives and Traps
Explosives in general have simply been improved to reflect the overall weapon buffs 10-20%. A missile should of course, do more than almost any projectile gun. The Harbor DLC traps have been buffed 2x like the melee weapons as to not be just for useless show.
-Explosives approximately 10% more damage, they're not enough of a threat in vanilla.
-Harbor DLC traps have a higher chance to cripple (vanilla made them not worth lugging around)
Damage Types
Fire as I mentioned, stacks now. Poison does as well, acid does not... vanilla effects seem... the same, to me, I didn't feel like a bloodbug sting was any different than fire, or poison. I've changed them to what I feel, better reflect how they should work and have worked in previous games.
-Poison - stacks, does a light damage for a longer period of time (subject to change, may introduce anti-venom as aid item in HC).
-Acid - does not stack, high damage, short period of time (may create aid item, sci crafting requirement in HC)
-Fire - stacks doing medium damage for a short period of time.
-Bleeding - light damage for a short period of time (subject to change, may introduce new aid item).
-Plasma - Variable DOT on weapon effect (not grenade/mine, currently anyway)
-Radiaion - NO CHANGE
PERKS:
Weapon Specialization Perks (Subject to change, Higher level testing (natural level up) is taking time and lots of engagement testing)
Extra tiers, unique and appropriate bonuses.
-added 5 more levels to each major specialization, 110%, 120%, 130%, 140% and 150% dmg
-Demo and Bash only get 4 more, 115%, 130%, 140% and 150% dmg
-5% AP reduction at level 1, 10% at lvl 5 and 15% at lvl 10

-improves bash 25%
-grants ambushing bonus: 25% more damage to enemies not in combat (initial shot/strike)(includes not sneaking)
Other Perks (subject to minor change, will update as i go, please comment what you'd like to see)
Some slight, some drastic, some rearrangement. I have not removed anything, merely added to the perks. Like the WSP's I felt like additional levels or slight changes could be added to further enhance the "related field" that they attribute to. ie. Gun Gun/Science giving ballistic/energy weapons 5% bonus to critical per level respectively.
-Added 1 more seamless level to Better Criticals
-VANS adds 10% more exp gain per level (max 20%), I never bothered with vans before the Harbor +2 Perception, as an exp buff it felt appropriate.

-reasoning that only people who rely vats will ever get awareness.

-Action Boy/Girl added lvl 4, 100% AP refresh speed.

-Cannibal now gives 5-10% damage buff towards living prey as it becomes edible and progresses to final.

-20% damage resist to weapons
-30% more accurate
-25% more damage with pipe, board and sledge type weapons and heavy
-regen hp and limbs slowly
-Suffer 50% falling damage
Robco and General Atomics Military Edition
Don't let combat end before you kill it, it'll repair itself out of combat.
-regen hp and limbs at varying health outside of combat.
-50% accuracy bonus
-Sentry bot melee improved
-Should not apply to DLC1 automaton robots
Synths Gen 1's, 2's, 3's and Coursers
They're more like terminators now. Harder, better, faster, stronger...
-Regn same as above mentioned bots but IN combat.
-70% more accurate (Institute laser only)
-Coursers get 100% with institute laser, 75% with other weapons.
-30% increased base movement speed (running and hiding just became more difficult ^_^)

-they have a special ability that triggers at 20% hp giving them more speed and damage.
-Animals now do 200% limb damage if their HP is below 25%.
-Giant enemies only suffer 25% falling damage.
THE FUTURE IS
-More weapon changes
-Knockdown perks for projectiles will not apply to giant enemies
-Missile and Fatman explosions will cause stumble on radius, and knock down on direct hit
-knockdown does not apply to giant enemies
-Aid items (SURVIVAL ONLY, once i figure out how to make it exclusively for survival mode anyway...)
-STIMPAKS WILL accelerate effects of poison like in NV (I am not changing my mind, there's plenty of lore for this)
-poison effect will be changed (stack, low-med damage over much longer time period)
-STIMPAKS WILL become addictive (5% chance)(they are very easily hoard-able vanilla, difficult to make rarer...)
-food and rest are essential.
-create bandages, negate bleeding, bleeding will therefore do less and last much longer. (no requiremetns, 1 cloth required)
-change stimpaks, they will be addictive in survival mode 5% or so, let me know in comment what seems reasonable
-create splints (metal/cloth)
-only applicable when out of combat. alternative to stimpaks which are newly slight addictive.
-Ammo reloading bench (a very resounding MAYBE)
-based off the workshop dlc craft components so it's lore friendly
-Throwing knives (ALL TESTS FAILED, will revisit when i have the patience for the projectile)
-Silent throw, act like grenade (double velocity)
-craft under cooking station utility (because open flame, i might make a new utility station in the future with no crafting requirements (to craft the station))
-Types include silverware, normal, poison and "ninja" (require ninja 3 perk to craft, throws 3 projectiles)
-THROWING ROCKS WITH MORE AMMO SCARCITY! (Maybe, it's just a concept at the moment, mostly for "slave" fodder)
-Option 1: "thrower" would be a primary weapon, with grenade throwing animation and the junk jet ammo type for misc junk items.
-distribute to enemies, particularly human npcs.
-Option 2: create "rocks" at cooking station and throw like grenades, so you can have a melee weapon equipted at same time.
-assign to melee human enemies, as gun-toting enemies would not use them often or as a direct weapon.
-Option 3: Use either 1 or 2 and give enemies limited ammo.
-has MANY logistically frustrating implications, loopholes, problems... etc.
-NPCs have proven ineffective at ammo management.
