Original KotORFiles review:
"Inyri brings us the TSL version of her model based on the Mass Effect 2 M-98 Widow for KotOR I, which was uploaded earlier this week. Since the mod is chiefly the same as the KotOR I version (except for KotOR II, obviously ), here is the review of the K1 version:

N.B.: As this version is for TSL, the information from the KotOR I review is incorrect for the KotOR II version. This, the KotOR II version of the mod, replaces the Mandalorian Assault Rifle in TSL, and not the Sith Sniper Rifle as in KotOR I.
 
Mod Rating: Advanced
 
NB: Please leave constructive criticism, particularly if you download and use this mod, as the download-counter isn't very informative.

Description:
This model is a replica of the m-98 Widow sniper rifle as seen in the game Mass Effect 2 (this is the sniper rifle that Legion upgrades to, although an infiltrator Shepard can use it as well). This is simply a blaster rifle replacement, so all of the weapons that use the w_blstrrfl_004 model will now show up as this gun, leaving it compatible with other custom blaster mods... except other replacement mods, naturally. It is specifically designed to overwrite the Mandalorian Assault Rifle (w_brifle_19.uti) due to there being no specifically-named sniper weapon in TSL.

Original Review on Filefront:
 
"This is Squall's gunblade from FF: VIII. From what I remember about it, it's pretty accurate to what I remember from the game, though I haven't played it in a couple years so that might not mean much. The texture is pretty well done, and I think it looks better since instead of just photosourcing, Inyri did the engravings on the blade by hand. I appreciate a lot since every time I attempt something like that by hand, bad things tend to happen. There's also a shader that gives it a metal shine.
 
The only real problem I have with this model is that due to the shape of the hilt, sometimes the wielder's hand clips into the hilt as the animations don't take too kindly to it. But since it's usually not that noticable and there's nothing that can really be done at this point (nor would it really be practical to do anything when we can anyway) it really doesn't matter too much. Other than that, I think it's perfect! It works for both KotOR games.

"Yay! New models for the game are always welcome I remember playing this for JK:A and it was really good. Basically this is a brand new gun model for Kotor2. The lack of any shaders is dissapointing, but i feel that shaders are an extra bonus. I know how inryi loves her shaders Hopefully this will be remedied if the author releases more models. But you dont really need them because it still looks great It says in the readme that
More great news
So everyone go download this. It's a very nice addition to the game.

As requested by Zerimar Nyliram over at LucasForums, these textures change the original mod's textures English characters to Aurebesh. Inyri was happy to comply with the request and now, you can use it too!
 
This mod is compatible with both the KotOR version of the M-8 Assault Rifle Blaster Replacement and also the TSL version of the same mod.
 
Installation: Move the TGA files with the same name out of the the Overridfe folder and empty the contents of this RAR into your Override.
