Well the M72 gauss rifle did technically have "cartridges" It had a 2mm round encased in a power cell that was powerful enough to fire the weapon.

Actually, every weapon from FO3 that they for some reason cut...
I hope they add them back in the DLC's along with new weapons. (Excluding unique variants like Stabhappy, Slow-Burn Flamer and Protectrons Gaze etc)

The Miss Launcher. Loved that thing.

The dart gun and the railway rifle. None of my sneaky FO3 characters ever left home without the dart gun. The railway rifle was just a hoot to shoot. Literally pinning down enemies with it was fun.

Bring back the .32 snub, the chinese pistol, the infiltrator, and the basic assault rifle...then I'll be happy.

chinese pistol and basic assualt rifle

Metal Blaster
MPLX
Nuka Grenades
Xuanlong
Sidney's 10mm

Is the Shishkebab in this game? If it isnt thats the one I miss the most.

I keep on thinking I will run into it because of one of the loading hints mentions it.

I liked the railway rifle itself, but that god-awful train whistle after you fired it was too much to bear. Same with the weird honking sound after the combat shottie

There's a mod that removes the train whistle sound from the railway rifle.

Being serious...I do miss the Lincoln Repeater...

I know there's like 5 or so variations of a lever action rifle, and a perk especially for them (thanks guys, now I can sell that riot shotgun I spent a small fortune on), but the old LR was the gun for all seasons.

Now I've got the CR in .357 which has plentiful ammo; The TC in .44 which is great from short to medium range; and the Brush Gun which slays the devil, but only for a few shots because it takes forever to collect enough ammo for a decent firefight (hence the focus on including melee in the Cowboy perk - they know you're going to be scrabbling in the dust to pick up and reload those three cartridges you just fired...)

The Pulse Pistol is in FONV.

I miss Ol' Painless

It is in-game but it's no longer crafted. You can score them off higher-level Legion sometimes, and buy them from the legion vendor.

Thanks dude. Im about to raid a legion camp. Thats good to know.

No, A pulse pistol is in New Vegas, no the Pulse Pistol from the old games.
It's like saying that the current laser pistol and the old one are the same.

Lets see, there the M72 Gauss Rifle (freaken powerhouse with an awesome reloading sound to it), H&K P90c and the Jackhammer (I really LOVE the bullpup design). All Fallout 2 weapons.

i missed the infiltrator and the double barrel

The R91 Assault Rifle...

Who needs that hunk of junk when you have Ratslayer? Ratslayer instantly makes a low level char insanely lethal.

I liked the feel of the beat-to-hell rifle that Ol' Painless has, and is was actually difficult to get.

Where is my BOZAR?! Who touch my BOZAR?!

i miss the variety of assault rifles and unique guns they had before i like some of the new weapons but they removed to many of the awesome guns and changed to many of the others.

I miss the Combat shotgun, Dartgun, and the Experimental mirv most of all.

if you get Ralph to show you his special weapons you can see some guns that might be familiar to you. There is a rail way gun on the wall and a Infiltrator why they are on the wall and not in the game is a mystery.
