They have said that there are like 3x as many weapons as there were in FO3 and we've seen about as many as were in FO3. I can only assume that there are many, many new ones and their accessories that we will see only when the game comes out. It gets me excited just thinking about it.

Where can I find that info, just point me in the right direction, no link needed (if it isn't allowed) I'd Love to see/hear that!

Yup, Anti-materiel rifles are for disabling and destroying equipment, like radios, weapons, and vehicles. I had a friend say something about that the U.S is not supposed to deploy them specifically against personnel (which I don't believe one bit) But if that was the case, I would just say I was taking out the enemies shirt button, in order to deter him from aggressing...

From my understanding, it is in one of the Geneva Conventions or some such thing that a Anti-Materiel rifle shouldn't be used, but one that wasn't ratified by the U.S. Kinda like napalm and shotguns in combat.

I could be very wrong about that though...

I honestly couldn't tell you. I think that it was in one of the many interviews that I've watched.

I have watched and read soo much about this game in the last few months that I can't remember where I saw anything in particular.

It was a while ago that I saw that though.

See I believe that Geneva would do that, but I wouldn't believe America would abide by it, I have heard to many incidences of them being used on personnel.

If it was real it would be under the Hague convention, not the Geneva, but that's a myth, there are no treaty issues banning .50BMG rounds from being used on people.

Good to know, you learn something new every day.

I hope we can fix the stock on the hunting rifle. The butt-plate is missing a screw so it hangs out and flaps around. It just needs one little screw.

And the barrel being wired to the stock would be awful in real life. One of the things you do to make a rifle more accurate is free float the barrel, that is have the barrel attached only to the action/receiver/breach. Wiring a barrel to the gun's stock means any problems with the stock are transmitted to the barrel, such as the stock warping, and interferes with accuracy by pinching the barrel.

I asked Sawyer about this, but he didn't answer. Since there are other mods that change the looks of the weapon, the Hunting Rifle should have one too.

I'd like that too, I'm no perfectionist or anything but the buttstock hanging off the back of the rifle always bothered in Fallout 3. Hopefully it will have a modification that will patch it up a bit. :tops:

All you'd need is a screw! Ahh! it's so maddening!

what is http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/shimshamflam/FalloutNVgun.jpg gun? I don't recall ever seeing it in any other vids?

And with the top drum magazine... it looks like an LMG, but shorter...

Speculate!

I don't have to speculate, it was confirmed somewhere back around Weapons, Mods, and Ammo Mega-Thread #2 (or maybe even #1) that the http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/shimshamflam/FalloutNVgun.jpg Orin linked there is the .22 SMG.

For a .22 those shell casings sure are big, looks like 5.56 or .308 but I think it is just a programing mistake( if it is a .22).

frankly I never notice the casings in Fallout 3 having a varied size, I think they use a stock casing for all guns (expect shotgun shells, I do notice they have proper casings)

but that′s just my view.

Please excuse my ignorance, as I haven't done anything in these forums but lurk around and reading, but I can't claim I've even read 10% of all the posts so I wonder if anybody can answer me this:

Regarding creating ammunition, how exactly do we create ammo? I know there is a reloading bench and recipes but do we have any example of how to create any ammo? Do we create new ammo or just modify our existing? Either way, do we add any items to make the ammunition or do we only need a recipe?

Sorry if this has been asked before and answered, either by Mr Sawyer or anybody else.

AFAIK we have been told we CAN do it, weve been told what was CAN make (maybe not all variations) But I do not believe we have been told the exact method, besides what you have stated. But If I were to assume, I'd say most are made with standard rounds, and skillz, others with posin and extra ingredients most likely are a recipe. +P loads might be as easy as taking two rounds and combining their powder load, but I am not certain...

[Setal Vara]

It sounds like it will be similar to the ammo press in The Pit.

There was a video a while back that showed a dude looting a dead NCR guy and there were casings on his body. but there hasn't been anything about bullets or propellants to my knowledge.

It would be so cool if you can get a solar collector. To charge your energy rounds. But I definitely don't remember seeing solar panels anywhere except on the huge mass weapon of destruction you see in the trailor. A portable Solar Panel would be a perfect survivor tool and a water filter or a solar still.

I have a question, I looked up in the wiki to see if the the Gauss rifle is going to be in this one. I assume it is because it was in the last Fallout 2, and I don't see why they would remove it. Is it going to use two pieces of ammo this time?
The micro fusion cell and the projectile 2mm or create a mag that contains both?

Because it really didn't make sense how there was this infinite amount of preloaded 2mm projectiles loaded to the side of rifle. The only way It made sense to me was that those magical rounds were reloaded when you repaired the gun. Really its my favorite gun, I even think it should be a weapon mod to make other weapons better. Ex: Hunting Rifle could had its range and power extended by a Gauss mod. It can make things interesting because the drawback would be that it has to be charged.

I apologizes if that question was already asked. And I apologize for my "would be cool" idea.

[Christie Mitchell]

They had one for pistol ammo,10mm pistol,rifle and assualt use a bottleneck casing, and a bigger one for the minigun. So three I think.

So it would be proper to use a small pistol casing. Nitpicking.

Holy [censored] so that's what that clip was for if only they could explain the crank...

[Leilene Nessel]

Holy [censored] so that's what that clip was for if only they could explain the crank...

OMG I was wondering about the crank too. It probably was supposed to be used for loading the Microfusion round or charging the gun but someone was like "ah [censored] it the animation is too hard lets just release this DLC already".

[Hairul Hafis]

Holy [censored] so that's what that clip was for if only they could explain the crank...

I believe the crank was attached to a small generator that would chage a capacitor. The capacitor is used to store the initiating charge for the mechaism to fire. This charge is usually a residual of the previous operating cycle, but when the weapon condition is low, sometimes the capacitor doesn't recharge properly so you have to manually generate the initiating charge with the crank. Or that's how it works in my mind anyways........... :ahhh:
