True but Capone was doing all his dealings starting in the 20s, its not that much of a stretch. (I think the main problem would be the explanation of how the hell his Thompson ended up in New Vegas in the first place.) :tops:

consider the eccentric people who call Las...eh I mean New Vegas there home I′m sure there some gun collector who had it in his collection before the war.

All we can do is hope for the Tommy Gun. On another note, I really like the Recharger Rifle. It looks like it could be a very useful early game weapon and an invaluable resource in hardcoe mode. Hopefully there are some good mods for it.

Gun/Unarmed Weapon (Found a loophole. ) http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Ballistic_Fist I read about it in a new interview that was posted over on the Vault, Anyone else reminded of the http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/6/60/OSS_pistol_Glove.jpg/400px-OSS_pistol_Glove.jpg shown in Inglorious Bastards? :tops:

That is one epic looking weapon, When I make an Unarmed character I know what weapons I'm going to be using. :tops:

[C.L.U.T.C.H]

With all these weapons being brought in from Fallout Tactics its given me a new found hope for a man-portable http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Browning_M2 chambered in .50 BMG as it should be. (I may die of joy if its in.) :tops:

Hey I was thinking since .44 special is confirmed would it be that far of a stretch for a Thompson to shoot it?(after all it shoots a bullet .01 caliber bigger)

If it is in, I reckon it would use an auto-pistol round. .44 mag & special are rimmed rounds, they don't work too good in smgs. Maybe they'll use .45-70 just because it's a .45 caliber round and not too many people know that it's huge compared to .45ACP. Or they'll just use 9 or 10mm. Or it just won't be in the game. That's my bet.

Just like they don't know the .45-70 is just as rimmed as .44 mag/special or .45 Long Colt.

And for bonus points, the diameter of a so-called ".44" caliber bullet is...go ahead, tell'em. Then let's try to figure out why they call it ".44" instead of ".43" since ".43 Magnum" would be much more fitting given the .429 inch bullet diameter.

IRL yeah it wouldn't work but it's a game also didn't know the .44 is actually a .43 my whole gun-nut thing is much more in rifles and rifle rounds not so much pistols.

Answer: Smith and Wesson .44 Russian. I believe it was the first internally lubericated bullet, and this changed the diameter from the S&W .44 American from .434 to .429. Or something very close to that.

Ah makes sense I guess.

[Dale Johnson]

I personally hope that the Tommy Gun is chambered in 10mm, seeing as we have a whole load of cartridges already, adding .45 ACP would just be overkill. Besides, 10mm Auto packs a pretty good punch, enough to keep the damage up.

That's the most likely solution if it's even in I'm pretty sure .45ACP isn't in at all I'm just making conversation.

[Alycia Leann grace]

Tommy Gun might be chambered in 10mm, but it's far more likely to be in 9mm since it's little brother Grease Gun inspired the 9mm SMG. It only makes sense that they would both be 9mm.

Well that's kind of my point, the Grease Gun is it's little brother. It just wouldn't be the same if the Tommy Gun didn't pack the punch of at least a 10mm round.

[chirsty aggas]

And the Grease Gun in New Vegas is like the size of a mac-10(at least in the vid it looked like it) so 9mm makes sense if it's a full size Thompson 10mm makes the most sense.

[IM NOT EASY]

Game indeed, and I don't mind jockeying around with calibers there by any means.

But yeah, just had to throw that .44/.43 tidbit out for giggles, one of my favorite range toys being a Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 Magnum and reloading for it, that whole ".44 caliber bullet, .429 diameter" thing amuses me to extremes. I'd say "Or maybe I'm just weird," but there's no maybe to it.

[Bitter End]

I'd like to see some form of more 10mm weaponry like so.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bren_Ten

We already got a 10mm pistol, how bout a revolver that also uses it?

because there is a difference between a pistol and a revolver cartridge, even of the same caliber (like say .44 magnum, wits you can both find in the semi-auto DE and a typical magnum revolver).

[Lynne Hinton]

all you people are forgeting that fallout is based in the 50' but 200+ in the future yet still living in the past but realising that it has high technology yet is so nieve that they ignore that. :unsure2: In general how about more future based wepons that are improvised, yet that use past ammo... or a ammo that uses past wepons!!!! or a "Rock-It launcher V4" that shoots every bullet that fits in it!!

No.

[Hayley O'Gara]

A silenced .22 with a super deadly poison would actually be a pretty efficient weapon. Put a few rounds in someone's butt while sneaking, and then sneak away before they can find you.

Then watch as they keel over and die from the poison.

because there is a difference between a pistol and a revolver cartridge, even of the same caliber (like say .44 magnum, wits you can both find in the semi-auto DE and a typical magnum revolver).

The .44 magnum ammunition used in the real world in the Desert Eagle is the exact same .44 magnum ammunition used in the real world in my Super Blackhawk. The DE is a semi-automatic, and my Super Blackhawk is a single-action revolver.

There are both semi-automatics and revolvers that fire the .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) round, and both semi-autos and revolvers that fire the 9mm round. And http://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/2009/01/03/smith-and-wesson-model-310-night-guard-revolver-in-10mm-and-40-sw/ is a Smith & Wesson revolver that fires 10mm.

There is no difference between a "pistol" cartridge and a "revolver" cartridge unless the cartridges are given diffrent designations. .44 magnum cartridges are .44 magnum cartridges and will fit in any weapon chambered for .44 magnum, 10mm cartridges are 10mm cartridges and will fit any weapon chambered for 10mm.
