Behind the scenes
Joshua Sawyer stated that it was a deliberate decision to make 10mm weapons "vaulty/futuristic."[Dev 1]
Bugs
Sometimes when equipping a 10mm pistol modded with an extended mag, the mag may appear under the trigger. This bug can be fixed by re-equipping the weapon. [verified]- Sometimes when you equip the 10mm pistol, the laser sight modification may not be activated. To fix this, simply un-equip the pistol and re-equip it. [verified]
- The weapon may also turn invisible while aiming down the sight. [verified]
If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have the 10mm pistol equipped and drawn, the reload animation takes twice as long as normal. This can be solved by simply switching to another gun and then back again. [verified]
