Enough with unoriginality.

I LOVED the railway rifle in Fallout 3 and really hope it makes a return in New Vegas.

I still want to see a crossbow, or something like that, but I kinda gave up on the idea it would ever be included.
To me it fits right in as a weapon that would still be effective, but a lot easier to make then a gun.

Personally, I'd like to see an SKS in the game. It's as lore friendly as the Chinese Assault Rifle. I have one in real life, and I'd love to run around in the game with one. Plus with the bayonet, it could be used as a melee weapon. That's what this game needs!!! Bayonets!

P.S. I know I'm just wishful thinking about the bayonets.

I think some folks are forgetting that the Fallout timeline diverged from our own after WW2; so while any gun up to that point is in Fallout, any gun designed afterwards may not be. Sure, old guns produced immediately after WW2, like the FN FAL, could possibly get in, but anything beyond 1960 is extremely unlikely.

That said; M-16s and M-4s seem to be in the game and have been, so far, seen exclusivey in NCR hands. My theory is that the NCR is begining to design and manufacture more modern-esque firearms, without plastics and advanced alloys since the M-16s seem to have wooden furniture. So while more modern (200+) weapons are unlike, those developed during the Cold War might get in under NCR design and manufacture. Albiet with design differences, like wooden parts.

Crossbow would definitely be cool. Or a suppressed sniper rifle.

Surprised no one has mentioned the P90 being in Fallout 2. Though I could just be misremembering things.

I'm pretty sure it was in Fallout 2, though it's been a while since I last played so who knows.

Speaking of SMGs, I hope the MP9 gets back in (with all the other Fallout classics). *Prays to Cthulu*

What about adding the Ljutic "Space Gun" smoothbore shotgun?

Cant find a photo of it but heres a video of it. Its a US made shot gun and it looks weird enough to be an idea for the game.

Yeah man!!! That's what I'm talkin' bout!!

The SKS has a built in bayonet: http://www.hk94.com/images/1954-Russian-Tula-SKS.jpg There's spring in the bayonet handle you pull back to swing the bayonet out. It's a pretty common survivalist's weapon. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been in the game. It's cheap and reliable, and I can vouch for it's accuracy. At 150 yards I'm hitting a six inch plate, with iron sights, 7-8 out of ten shots. And I'm not a remarkable shot.

Kinda fugly lookin'. Honestly it looks like something that would fit but would need some cosmetic changes so it doesn't look so smooth and shiny. Looks like a homebuilt weapon too.

Why can't anyone come with an idea for a weapon that doesn't SOMEHOW relate to Call of Duty? We need to broaden our horizons beyond, "Oh mah gawd can we haz acr, deagle, and bairett!?!?!?!"

We need some new ideas for guns. The Fallout universe diverged, if that's a reminder to any of you. They should have DIFFERENT guns and designs. No more "What guns do you want in New Vegas?" Because it's more like asking, "What guns from Call of Duty do you want to see?"

How about this: What NEW ideas for weapons would you want to see in Fallout: New Vegas?

They are weird looking and they are a single shot shotgun that loads through a bolt action breech from below and ejects from below. Their orignal purpose was a high end trapshooting weapon but the basic shape of the shotgun looks like something we could see in the Fallout Universe.

The only real world weapon I think I would like to see and think would survive in very good shape and have a fairly slow deterioation rate would be the M1891 or the M1891/30. Both of which are before WWII and were used in WWII but by 1930 the M1891 was modifed and was named the M1891/30. I think it could be real good especially since we can craft our own rounds we could craft military style rounds such as 7.62x54R tracer rounds / tracer armor piercing rounds / tracer incindary rounds / tracer armor piercing incindary rounds / ect.

After all they dont call the M1891/30 the zombie apocalypse rifle of choice for no reason. They are rugedly built, built in very high numbers and typically in very high quality, not to mention they are very reliable and have a very reliable soldier proof feeding/ejection system.

But I dont expect this rifle to make it in but I sure would love to run around New Vegas with a rifle that I own and shoot in real life.

On a side note I would like to see the tompson submachine gun to make it in with an upgradeable drum magazine. I might feel like playing as a mobster and knock over some casinos in a zootsuit and fendora.

You know, I always thought that after something like this, (Nuclear Armageddon that is,) there'd be a group or person that weapon wise had to revert to 1700s technology. So something like a Muzzle Loader might be cool, but it'd svck in a firefight, that's for sure. Maybe just for something like hunting those giant Goat things, or something? (I think a Kentucky Long Rifle or Pennsylvania Long Rifle could work in either case. It'd be fun!)

Muzzle loaders would be cool, though I think pipe rifles fill that niche already.

To be fair, all of those weapons you mention were only in Fallout: Tactics, which is of semi-dubious canonicity. Also, the FO3 Chinese AR is more likely the Norinco Type 56 with its wooden furniture rotting away.



Doesn't matter. The Pancor Jackhammer is lore friendly as it was in Fallout 2. The rest were deisgned and, except for the Kalashnakov, built prior to or during WW2. We know WW2 is before the Fallout timeline diverged, thusly anything that existed prior to 1945 can be modded into a Fallout game without upsetting lore at all. The M2 Browning was in Fallout 1 and 2, and the Chauchet was a joke big gun in Fallout 2 that worked about as well as the real one did. We also know the AK47 existed in some form or another in the Fallout timeline because an AK112 does exist.

Know what I wanna see?

A Fully-Automatic Shotgun.

Specifically, the Pancor Jackhammer. Yeah, it was developed in 1987, but it never entered production. The only problem I can see is that it's design may be a bit too "futuristic" for the Fallout Series (when I say that, I mean Futuristic as how we envision it, not how the 1950's envisioned it.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancor_Jackhammer for reference.


It was in Fallout 2 right from the getgo, so it's lore friendly. It has been added to Fallout 3 by the community.

You'll see a Pancor Jackhammer in New Vegas sooner or later.

So, because the timeline diverged in the 50's, the US had to have taken a different path when it comes to firearms. I mean, there could have possibly been no way that real world weapons appeared DESPITE the fact that they appeared in previous games.....

Besides, your [censored]ing about real world guns is very unoriginal. You should also provide solutions to this "problem" you think exists instead of complaining about it.

First of all, CoD didn't invent those weapons. Most of the weapons in Modern Warfare 1 and 2 I had already heard of from games like Rainbow Six and, oh, just about every other shooter?

And second, .223 Pistol and the Pancor Jackhammer. Not from Cod. From Fallout 2. I say this on every one of the previously mentioned threads.

The design for the .223 pistol is based on Harrison Ford's gun in Blade Runner.

What the hell would you do with a UAV Drone anyhow?

All we're asking for is actual weapons, Just because a weapon has appeared in a Call of Duty game before doesn't automatically make you some sort of really devoted fan who love CoD so much that every game must contain an ACR, SCAR-L, or some other random Assault type weapon.

Just because we like to think outside the box and think of weapons that could be included in the game to increase our and others gameplay experiences doesn't make us "noobs" or "[censored]"
