All we know so far is that enemies will drop empty cases when looted.

do they have .45?... the black pistol looks ike my real life Colt m1911.... if they emulate my gun... ill be stolked..... and WHAT skill is needed for handloads???

You know what would be sweet? A perk called "Brass Police" which results in every shot you fire to add a casing to your inventory.

We haven't seen any .45ACP yet, doubtful that it'll make it in. The pistol you're seeing is a Browning Hi-Power, made around the same time with an aesthetically similar design, but it uses 9mm rounds instead.

Repair will be used to handload ammunition.

what's the title of the gun?....I'm pissed I gotta shoot those pansy 9mm's!!!! :flame: :flame: :flame: and anyword on when u get the virgin marry peice? :angel:

From what we've seen the Maria (Virgin Mary Unique Browning Hi-Power) is the gun Benny uses to put two rounds through your cranium. :tops:

Ooooo how'd you get Elvis to come out OP? You must've sprinkled a trail of gun powder...

He just can't resist dat gun chat.

u gotta bea the game to get it..... thats lame....please tell me there is .45 ammo

What makes you think you have to confront Benny at the end of the game? From what I've seen you can get your hands on him mid-game. We haven't seen any .45ACP so... yeah pretty sure it's not getting in the base game.



*mumble* bolt *mumble* cyclic rate *mumble* moly coated .338.... *waits* :whistling:

Uh, no, you don't have to beat the game to get it. Everything indicates you'll be able to get your revenge on Benny early on in the game. The game isn't a revenge story, it's just the event that draws you into more important events of the main quest.

I don't think you'll need to beat the game to get the Maria you'll probably just have to give Benny some lead poisoning to get it. :tops:

EDIT: We can't confirm that the .45ACP won't make an appearance since nothing has been mentioned of it so far but it looks like it won't be making an entrance at this point in time.

I'm going to try to shoot him with his own gun, somehow... I don't know how yet, but I will.

Shoot the Maria out of his hand when he draws it and take it from him? I remember doing that to General Jingwei in Operation Anchorage and killing him with his own sword. :tops:

seriously? so whats he doing here?

Im very frankly enjoying this thread not because im a gun person,i know very little about guns. The reason im finding this thread intresting is a show of effort on obsidian's part. i could quite frankly care less about the nitty gritty of how guns function in the game but what i do like is attention to details even if there is no way to implement proper animation's or fully realisitic guns im okay with that all i care about is that the dev's put some thought it into it. If the dev's put that much thought behind a simple reload and jam mechanic then i have hope for the game. At this point i personally can't tell if FNV is good or not because i haven't played it. But if i had to bet i would go for GOTY.

Its actually Josh Sawyer, He comes on here to get input from the fans and to correct our speculations of the game. Great guy and I really like that he gives a crap about what we're thinking. :tops:

EDIT: Also did I mention how much of a Gun Nut he is? The guy is one of my heroes.

we need more game developers like him

Chatting with the community, talking about his game, trolling us by very selectively releasing information that we lap up like hungry dogs, you know, the standard stuff.

This is the second or third time I've seen a developer actually talk to the people for once. hats off to SAWYER HURAAAAAH

who are the others?

Well IDK about on here, but when I was a mod on the pandemic forums, Ali Zandi used to talk to the fans a lot- he was a Vehicles/Physics guy.
This is the first time I've seen a developer this high up on the food chain so involved with the community. Sawyer really is a pretty cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything.

I think a lot of it has to do with Sawyer himself, he's been a regular on... certain other forums for a long time, so the internet thing is natural to him. That's why he feels comfortable talking to fans on the internet like he was talking to anyone else.


Don't let it go to your head Sawyer.

@ Dev's (Sawyer or whoever), are all the SMG's going to be announced before release or some we will haft to find out about ourselves when we play the game?

The compact grease gun is freakin cool, it is but id be nice to have some kind of HK SMG like a mp5 or something on those lines. The .22 SMG that has been announced is not exactly very tactical but I believe it is the only SMG that has been announced that is held like a rifle. So like a mp5 would be held like a rifle ingame & not like the compact grease gun for example.

The 10mm SMG is already like a doodad'd up MP5k, so I doubt they'd put that in the game.

Give up on the Thompson?
