Gauss shouldn't be an Energy weapon! It shoots solid slugs!

Which are propelled by electro magnetism IIRC.

That doesn't matter, the target isn't being hit by and energy beam. Laser, Plasma, Thermal, or Electrical are Energy weapons.Gauss uses kinetic energy just like "normal" bullets. If we use your theory then all "guns" weapons would be under "explosive" skill set as they use small explosions as propellant.

The Glock Plasma Pistol, is the Plasma Defender, there is already a cattle prod in the game along with a pulse pistol. Some of those weapons are from Fallout Tactics, not sure if it's considered applicable since lots of those weapons were made post 1950's.

I'd really like to see the original laser weapons return.

2mm Energy Charge I believe, The round and power supply were in the same cartilage.
(Also they are coilguns, not railguns ... there is a difference but that is nitpicking a bit)

Bethesda made it a Energy Weapon in Operation:Anchorage, their rational was there was no Sniper Energy Weapon so they made the Gauss Rifle one (by giving it a scope and mark it as a Energy Weapon) and honestly I do not see what is the big deal about it as the round is accelerated to such speeds that will act far more as a energy weapon that as a gun (since its not going to be much influenced by wind and gravity due to its speed).

Also I am going to point out that Gauss weapons were the high end of Small Arms as Pulse weapons were the high end of Energy Weapons, none were scoped, in fact there was no scoped energy weapon until Fallout 3.

I don't care if it does not have a a scope. It works well as a powerful rifle. I am not saying go back to having just the M72 Gauss rifle but have both or very least make the M72 a unique weapon. It was the only weapn I know that can blast an Enclave soldier in Advanced PA apart with one shot. Its a great weapon. A unique Idea weapon. A coilgun/railgun.

M72 Gauss. (And it should be in Energy Weapons.

)

Have it in Energy weapons if the EC is that important to people but that EC sends a metal ball flying at almost the speed of light. Hell Devs remain it to the "coilgun" I'll know its really a M72 Gauss.

The slug is traveling at a supersonic that makes its flight trajectory and flight behavior more akin to a energy weapon.
Also most of the damage will be done by the kinetic energy (you are being hit by something traveling higher that the speed of sound) and not by the slug penetration (that will be a superheated 2mm slug) that also makes it "somewhat" similar to a energy weapon.

Tommy Gun (at least that i misse something)

I sure would not mind seeing a return of the needle pistol.... and would love a rifle version of the same... Heh as a joke that klingon battle dagger thing coming back would be funny heh (maybe), and a few more Caseless type rifles hummm yes that would be nice

So....some High velocity bullets break the sound barrier too. So your saying they are "energy weapons" too?

would love too see some of the 4.7mm caseless weapons back too. G11 and Vindicator Minigun.

Yes.

Bozar (but changed to be a single shot Sniper rifle instead of a Machine gun.)

We already have the ultimate sniper rifle, anti-materiel rifle.

» Tue May 10, 2011 5:32 pm

Glock 86 Plasma Pistol.

It's already in FNV as Plasma Defender. They should add a scope mod for it, though - the version in FO1 and 2 is scoped.

I miss the YK42B pulse rifle, not really for it's damage output but more for it's overall design. Let's hope they will bring it back in some DLC like they did for the F/F2 Plasma Rifle.

In the Dead Money DLC trailer there is a new energy weapon (seen around 0:34-0:35 I think) that, while scoped (where the YK42B was not) shoots a blue energy projectile that makes me think of the old pulse rifle.

yeah I saw it, to be honest, it kinda looked like a Gauss/YCS kind of impact to me, doesn't matter anyway, new EW are always welcome :lol:

I still want the real 10mm pistol instead of these imposters.

I always thought it was a revolver from the Icon too.

Yeah, that one looks really awesome and powerful!

The best ting about the pulse rifle was the death animation, though. But I think we'll have to wait on Energy Visuals Enhanced for New Vegas for those kind of animations.
