I really like the looks of Leon's default handgun but the performance is garbage. Is there any way to either mod it so it has comparable damage to blacktail or swap their models?

Its not that hard to swap models out for pistols. I could do it for you if you like, but swapping the damage is another story. To swap the damage you could:
Use raz0rs trainer can swap out weapon damage but I think the way it works is that it swaps out the currently equipped weapon, not just for one weapon in particular. use cheat engine to see what damage is done while shooting the default pistol and search for those byte arrays in the exe and modify it. If you do simply swap out the model but still want the blacktail as default one last idea is to finish the game and right before it saves at the end (maybe during the jet ski race), you could ditch all your weapons except the blacktail,,, that way you could start a new game with that pistol already in your inventory from the CLEARED GAME save.

Well honestly, just swapping the models would be perfectly fine. I tried to replace the EM files and the imagepackHD files but the guns ended up a with garbled textures and the blacktail crashed when I tried to fire it. Thanks for the input by the way, I appreciate it.

Ya, modding this game is a bit more complicated than simply hot-swapping files and renaming them. Inside these files are models that have BIN and .TPL files that call on texture .pack files. If those TPL and BIN files arent edited properly the game will crash as the right .pack files arent laoded into memory when the game loads the room.

If those TPL and BIN files arent edited properly the game will crash as the right .pack files arent laoded into memory when the game loads the room. So how do I even open these files to modify them? Is there a step by step guide as to how to do it around here somewhere? I did manage to succeed in opening the .yz2 files but I have absolutely no idea what to do with .lfs files that contain the weapon textures.
EDIT: So I found some modding tools and..uh...
So to swap a SINGLE weapon model in this game, I have to extract the same file two times, then dig around in .BIN files to find their .TPL equivalent, THEN extract these, modify them hoping I don't mess something up, and again repacking them like three or four times? Welp sorry, but this thread can be closed now, I don't think I can make it, or that its even worth my time. Thanks for trying to help though, but considering my limited time we are looking at a week to tweak a single weapon.

it seems all the tutorials on this have lost their image and video links (bad planning from the people who made the tutorials)..so it looks like I am going to have to make another tutorial ... I'm very sick right now but will find time soon to make this.
