Handmade rifle audio bug? (sort of fixed-ish)
I'm having this issue with the handmade rifle, sometimes when I shoot it it makes no noise but a slightly quieter audio clip plays of the rifle firing at full auto, even when i'm not pulling the trigger.
Eventually this sound bug goes away, but the next time I pull the trigger it starts again.

I've tried dropping and modifying the weapon, nothing works.
The only that that does work is reverting to last save.

I'm using vanilla Fallout
Any ideas?

The issue is with the rifles normal sound file, I think. The silenced rifle sound does not have the same issue. I bought the Splattercannon, which comes silenced, and I haven't been having the sound looping glitch at all. If you have the caps for it, grab that, or just silence a normal handmade rifle.

Thanks for the tip
This would also explain why The Pack have this bug but the Operators don't, considering almost every operator weapon is suppressed

Yes, I had the weird sound loop bug. The sound kept playing even when I holstered the weapon.

Just tried it, 3 hours and zero bugs with the suppressor attached.
It's not the fix I was looking for, but it works, thanks.

I noticed that when I equipped it with the 2 reflex sights, said bug would occur. The sound went away on my rifle when I modded it with other scopes. Now I can equip it with the 2 reflex sights without its sound being bugged.
For me, changing the gun's colour fix it for the time being, though the bug tends to return if I reload.

As I found out, the problem arises due to the lack of a sound file in the archive of the Nuka World add-on (WPN_RifleHomemadeAssault_Fire_Auto_MuzzleBrake_0900rpm_Player_LPM.wav). For Handmade rifle with muzzle brake there is no file for 900 rpm but in esp this file is present. Due to a bug in increasing rate of fire, the game just takes the maximum rate of fire at 900 rpm, but there is no sound file in the add-on archive. Look for the FormID "DLC04WPNRifleHandmadeAssaultFireAutoSilencedPlayerLPM [SNDR:06050AB2]" and you see it. So, i take sound file for 780 rpm, rename it to 900 rpm and there is no bug anymore!
So, here is a fix https://www.dropbox.com/s/z1xj1ow30cdd5yl/Handmade%20Rifle%20Sound%20Fix.rar?dl=0
