OK, number four is up. Let's keep the discussion of all the new stuff going. I'm off to watch the dev diary again to glean some hints.

[Pat RiMsey]

I'm wondering how the recharging rifle will recharge itself. Solar cell? Crank?

Solar cells seem the most likely, Josh didn't really mention the means by which it recharges itself however. :tops:

I was thinking it'd just recharge like have a 100% thing in the ammo spot and when i's used up you just wait.

Not the game mechanic, the technology behind it. I'm going with motion energy re-capture.

[phil walsh]

I guess it would be like the energy pistol in Halo?

Oh then yeah I'd guess solar cell.

[Jonathan Montero]

Wouldn't it be more like the Solar Gun in MGS4???

Well, a quick perusal of the vid has gleaned me this info:

Weapons shown were 10mm SMG (new confirmation) 10mm Pistol (new confirmation), Hunting Pistol unique Ranger Sequoia (new confirmation), Recharger Rifle (new confirmation), pump shotgun (new confirmation), plasma pistol and others we've alot seen before. The revolver near the middle is Hunting Pistol modded with a scope. It seems the pump shotgun has a drum mod, ans possibly a semi-auto mod.

[alicia hillier]

Did they ever say the caliber for the sequoia? All I heard was rifle round.

[Dewayne Quattlebaum]

The recharging rifle is a weapon I need to find fast when I get the game.I don't have to worry about ammo anymore for it.I hope they have an improved unique version.

Ok .46 since you're a fellow gun nut what did the pump-action look like to you?(I can't watch videos at all on this computer it has a 1ghz processor)

.45-70

I just have a feeling that it'll be a near useless gun and get very frustrating, like the Eridian weapons on Borderlands. They let you have a few shots, then you had to recharge and that took a little while. Especially when you have fifty bandits shooting at you.

[Penny Flame]

I'm kinda liking the energy weapons this time around. They actually sound like something you shouldn't screw around with, and there's a considerable variety of them.

Did you notice if the shotgun has a stock, I could not tell because he was shooting from the hip. I ask this because the riot shotgun and this gun may be different weopons( the riot has a pistol grip), one in 12 gauge and the other in 20 maybe.

[Nauty]

The recharging rifle seems like it would be a great thing to carry with you on hardcoe, whether you're proficient in Energy Weapons or not, as an emergency weapon when your ammo runs out. Good survival weapon.

The most characteristic feature on the pump shotgun is that the magazine protrudes from where it's mounted to the underside of the barrel by quite a bit. I actually looked through all my shotgun books and no shotgun I could find IRL had a mag that size (I'd say it's a standard 4-5 shot mag) with the mag sticking out quite so much. Other than that, It seems to look like any newer (1920's and up) pump shotgun. It is cleary not an Ithaca 37/Remington 17Remington 31/Browning BPS, since those are bottom ejecting and this gun is side ejecting. Josh pretty much said it's just a generic gun, not modeled after anything particular. The receiver, barrel and fore grip look exactly like the shotgun we saw earlier with the drum mag. I believe that's a mod for this one. The only pump shotgun I can think of off the top of my head that uses magazines like that drum is the Baikal. I've seen them with 5 and 10 round box mags, and making a drum would be no problem.

The shotgun appeared to have a full stock. Not an English style, like my Auto-5, but the more common and modern "pistol grip" or "half pistol grip" style of full stock. Not a pistol grip lke the M16, but a regular rifle stock pistol grip at the waist like most modern rifles/shotguns.

[Nicole M]

Thought's on the grease gun anyone? i thought it look cool. may actually use a sub machine gun in NV

I like how Josh had 'em use the "stick your finger into the bolt and pull back" charging animation. Josh gets an A on his research assignment.

[Nicole Elocin]

If the recharger rifle is player made it likely would use a small fission battery or something simular to recharge itself.

OK. I like what you've done here. Let's go with this a little. So it may be a craftable weapon. Kinda looks homemade dosn't it? And a fission battery could concievably discharge into some kind of super capacitor. I can go with that.

You have an auto 5? I'm officially jealous. That's a fine gun, and I'm not just saying that because of Red Dead Redemption, heh.
Been thinking of buying one myself, but the economy and all...

But how would the fission battery recharge?
Maybe there's a photovoltaic cell you can get from the Helios plant. I know the helios plant isn't a photovoltaic plant but maybe there was a little lab that was working on them within the plant. That could recharge your gun, solar scorcher style.

Everything in that video was awesome!!!!! 25 more days to go!!!!!
