Even in fiction carrying a M2 Machine gun looks ridiculous.
I think the light machine gun is as close as you'll get.

Its great to see someone else asking for the http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Browning_M2 :gun: It was made before the 1950s time split. Its still used in the USA army and other armies and no sign of it being replaced anytime soon. New Vegas already has .50cal ammo but only one gun that can use it.

Lol ridiculous my good man the mini gun would be ridiculous did the math the mini gun according to a typical rof of 5000 versus M2 give or take 1000 a minute mini gun is 83 rounds a sec versus 16 rounds a minute

.Also the power armour was designed to allow stationary weapons to be man portable.L O L correction it uses 7.62X51.So roughly each round is 2,800 feet times 83 a sec versus give or take 15000 feet per second 16 rounds a second. they more or less equal out although 50 cal has a slight advantage in power.Technicly im sure i could be wrong but over all wouldnt u suffer more from the high rof from the mini versus the M2?

We have a minigun, which is at least as ridiculous as a manportable M2.

Plus, we already have .50 MG rounds without a .50 MG to fire them. And that's just terrible.

I don't like the Miniguns they svck in every fallout game. Yes a minigun fires more but thats a waste of ammo. M2 .50cal can cut a man in half with one shot and deal some real pain to BoS and super mutants. Also its an RPG the wider the weapons range the better. Someone would need to have 10 st and 100 guns to use it yes but it would be kick ass and you are right PA was ment so people can carry weapons just like the .50cal M2

Thompsons should be back again. We have .22cal but no .45? We had it in FO2 and Tactics!

Technicly for what the min gun was designed for its not entirely a waste of ammo.It was designed to provide massive cover/fear of god/portable one man army base*imagine a beef cake version of a sentry.And for the most part 50 cal is sorta over kill unless for the same purpose,or destruction of heavy targets or armoured targets.Kinda hilarious watching what one of these do to organic matter.The first long range rifle was a scoped m2 kinda jury rigging at its finest

» Fri May 27, 2011 8:35 am

i know a mod for the PC version adds in .45 ammo in addition to the Browning M2, Tommy Gun and Colt M1911. pretty fun stuff.

If this game simulated cover ala Stalker, a .50 MG (and the .50 AMR) would both be incredibly useful, because there are very few materials that can outright block a round of .50 BMG. Some fiend jerk would be taking cover behind a concrete street barrier only to die as you shoot through his cover with your heavy weapon.

I seriously hate you lol.Wish i had a up to date pc but mines ancient like 05 vaio sony.Anyways in the mod whats the characteristics of the m2?accurate slow rof powerful?Tommy gun i dont think it would work no ammo type for it in vanilla game .Colt M19 should be added That gun has saved countless patriots and put in the ground many douches *tyrants genocidal ass hats comunists L O L j/p*

the mod adds .45 caliber ammo so it can work. the Browning...utterly destructive. im assuming for balance issues it has a 90-round box magazine, but its still alot of fun to mow down a crowd with.

here's a pic with my character wielding it: http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/8140/falloutnv20101219031955.png

the only issue i have with it is sometimes when continuously firing the gun's audio will cut out, but itll come back in.

Happens to me on avenger&sound cut out* anyways wtf is up with the silver box/Characteristics please im needy ha.Any idea where they got the base for the model?

» Fri May 27, 2011 9:07 am

hardcoe mode would balance out any issues with it. Ammo would weigh alot about a LBS each and the weapon would be heavy as well. Its the weapon I love the most in FO Tactics. I love firing one good burst and watch a group of Super Mutants getting blown to bits or cut in half :evil:

Its even better with "bloody mess"

i have no idea where the base for the model came from, but its pretty accurate. and like i said, the silver box is for the ammo. theres no backpack you wear on your back like you do with the avenger or a regular minigun.

edit: i think http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/images/37002-1-1292967732.jpg may be the updated version of the mod, because the box is now on the underside of the gun which makes more sense i think

edit 2: in this pic, the Tommy Gun is visible on the left (in addition to other sweet, if lore-breaking, guns) http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/images/37002-1-1293027304.jpg

OMfg just saw mec guass mini gun OMFG OMFG OMFG/crys.The m2 looks beautiful.The way they could equalise the mec would be having to scavenge the ammo from parts like conductors scrap metal MfC's ecp /ec hybrid /that would make it viable maybe .Over all it looks non fakeish.hate so far the mw2 imbred mods just doesnt seem fallout.Not the uzi just the recent weapon developments super kriss g36c /psg1 X D those mods iritate me *have alot of hate against mw2*

if i remember correctly the MEC gauss shoots 2mm EC which was also added in to the mod. and that ammunition is rare enough itself to find in the add-on.

I think the guy who made the mod wanted to include old-school fallout weapons as well as newer ones, though from doing some research the Uzis first prototype was finished in 1950, so its not unrealistic for it to possibly exist in the FO universe. *shrug*

Have you played FO Tactics? If you love the MEC Gauss Minigun, M2 .50cal, Tommy Gun, Colt 45 and M1 garand chances are you will love Tactics

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/UZI does exist in the FO Universe and yes the mini gun does use the 2mm EC.

Is Tactics considered canon?

Is Tactics considered canon?

Bethesda has said that the "High-Level Events" are canon, which means that the main story/plot is canon. The Warrior (you) was real. There is a MWBoS which were talked about in FO3. Alot of the weapons are made during or before the 1950s so there is nothing wrong canon wise (some were in FO2). It also has alot of great Fallout Weapons. Beth sells Tactics along with FO1 and FO2 so I guess its safe that they consider alot of it canon. Their only beef seems to be that it does not have that 1950s look but again the weapons would say other wise.

It is a great game. Its not an RPG like the other fallouts but its still great. It takes place before the events of FO2.

Alright, i was just curious cuz in all the time Ive spent on the Vault, I never once saw an Uzi til just now haha. But yea...an official Browning M2 would be badass :goodjob:

On a site note novac hotel is so damn nice a place for everything/easy accessible work bench/reloading.I cant stand things in disorder lol gets me annoyed.I got a feeling Je sawyer is planning to add it it just seems so obvious in regards to how iconic it is .*almost as much as the tommy gun M1919.im surprised i didnt expect the bar being in a dlc damn you sawyer pulled a cover over my eyes haha.But just u watch.
