Automatic .38 receiver

The automatic .38 receiver is a weapon mod for the combat rifle and the pipe gun in Fallout 76.

Effects
The automatic .38 receiver causes an affected weapon to use .38 rounds in place of its typical type of ammunition. It lowers weapon damage in exchange for a cheaper, more common ammo type. It also improves the rate of fire and in case of the pipe gun, converts the weapon to automatic fire.

Crafting
Weapon modifications will modify an existing weapon, and any modifications previously equipped on the weapon will be destroyed, not unequipped. Loose mods cannot be crafted. For modifications unlocked through scrapping, the corresponding weapon must be scrapped in order to learn how to craft it.
