Immersive Weapon Names
Pretty simple mod. Just renames weapons and ammunition to bring them more in line with the previous games of the franchise!
No damage adjustments are incorporated, which means that this mod will be incompatible with any mod that seeks ‘balance’, other ammo, or other damage adjustments. I am happy to work on compatibility patches for such; to demonstrate, this has Better Item Sorting, Caliber Conversion Kit, and Gatling Laser Ammo Swap patches!

Installation
First, download the file you’d like to use.
If using the NMM, then just install it as normal. Select if you want the Alien Blaster and Gauss Rifle changes.
If doing it manually, pick which combo of patches you require (if any), and if you’d like the Alien Blaster & Gauss Rifle changes (-ag.esp), then copy the required .esp files into your Fallout4\Data directory, and make the necessary edits to your Fallout4Prefs.ini and plugins.txt files.

Suggested File Edits (Manual Installers Only)
Fallout4Prefs.ini: Change the line that reads: bEnableFileSelection=0 to bEnableFileSelection=1
plugins.txt: Add the full name of the .esp file to the line; (I recommend after any mods it’s patched for).

Special thanks to Oberfeldfebel for his permission to rework his mod, and obviously credit owed to the various corporations referenced in the franchise! Due to the uncertainty of the pre-war Fallout political scene, I’ve trimmed “NATO” from the 5.56 and 7.62 rounds, and made some other small adjustments.
Fun note: AEC9-650 is “AE Carbine 9” (same as the AER9 from New Vegas), 650 meaning the nm frequency for the laser itself. Just thought you might be interested.
