That's what happened in iwo Jima - if you're an American using a flamethrower, if the Japanese got a chance, they will drag you and beat you to death/slice you up with their katanas and bayonets. Flamethrowers are scary things - you don't need direct contact with the flame to kill you in a building/cave, the suffocation will do it for you... Every soldier that see flamethrowers are used against them will make sure that they are dealt with quickly. For them, it's better to be shot by a bullet than burnt/suffocated to death.

I hope so!

Oh and here are another extras:

From those we could see there's:

- Minigun

- Ripper

- Super Sledge

- Combat Shotgun

- Cryolator Pistol/Rifle

Man I HATE how the new Assault Rifle looks. It looks like a old WWI Vikers with some furnishing bolted on. A mod to at least bring back the CETME from FO3 better happen fast

You don't know if there are other,more modern assault rifles in the game that look very different. I would say that the one we saw is more of a DIY weapon and that there will be more modern rifles as well.

I'm with you there, that assault rifle just does not look good at all. Otherwise I'm absolutely ecstatic about the crafting system.

I pray you're right. Though the point still stands whoever designed that need to get a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPmzLyyPigA

The Assault Carbine, the R91, anything! I will even scavenge piles of .308 to use the Automatic Rifle from FNV instead of that thing.

It reminds me of that movie, Hobo with a Shotgun. A razor covered baseball bat is used, and it's pretty cruel and unusual.

It is pretty obviously a DIY weapon (starts a pipe pistol I think), representing something that has been missing from the Bethesda Fallout arsenal, a selection of post war produced makeshift/homemade firearms.

I'm watching a NV dust youtube series at the minute and it reminds me of the makeshift weapons in the mod.

There are completely different looking assault rifles in the gameplay footage.

At 0:14, 0:20(this looks like the crafted one), 1:14(might be an smg i cant tell), and 1:27.

Im not worried. It might even be possible to completely change the look of the crafted one in to something totally different.

There's a different assault rifle that has a very similar look and feel to the thompson submachine gun. There will probably be many more

Ammo moderates this, the Lincoln repeater and sniper rifle was of limited value early in game except hard fights, the reservist rifle was more important as you had lot of ammo

Yeah in the video I posted you can see it, it's very quick though so slowing the footage helps. At the part where they fight the super mutants on that cart thingy, you get a good look at it as it reloads. I can't give the time slot on it now, since I'm on my phone.

That being said, I would classify that as more of an smg then a rifle.

With getting Bungie and whomever the other dev to help with the gunplay, I just automatically assumed that they would make Assault Rifles and SMGs different (like they have in New Vegas) So I believe the Thompson look-a-like will have more CQC stats that say an AR.

Either way I'm sure I'll find something else to make me happy within the game. Especially when the DLCs start dropping (Hopefully only 1 or 2 huge DLCs would be great!)

Here's a screen I captured of it from the side. It shares some visual qualities as the Thompson gun. It is an SMG, but with the advent of turning a laser pistol into a laser rifle, maybe we can soup this bad boy up and turn it into a marksmanship rifle or an assault rifle.

See I like the look of that one! Good grab!

Be thankful it is razor blades. Barbed wire wounds are far more painful. I can attest from experiencing both minus the blunt trauma.

seems like the laser pistol no longer runs on energy cells, but instead uses microfusion cells.

Don't know what to think of that.

Im not too excited about the sideways magazine (though it does look fine when using the drum mag or maybe there will be a belt feed).

I hope i can customize it to look like the Assault Carbine, FO3's Assault rifle or the Service Rifle. Also i want to see more lever action rifles.

When I didn't see at least a knife for blade weapons on there I was about to freak out lol

Me too though I must say that the carbine version looks a little better than the full size one. Hopefully there will be others.

Probably has to do with laser pistols being convertible to rifles (which use MFCs).

Awesome screen cap, I like the look of that one very much. And yeah, it would be lovely if we could mod that into a rifle of some sort.

I found http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/greatmultiverse/images/5/5b/Thompson2020.png/revision/latest?cb=20140902115323 which has similarities to the one that was screen capped(Mostly in the hand guard and barrel) . It would be awesome if we could make it looks like this!

I might be one of the few that actually likes the look of the crafted assault rifles, I just think it fits the setting nicely, its bulky, long, probably very loud, and most likely excellent for laying down some suppression on a bunch of raiders. I for one, am a happy fan.

Oh I'm certain it would be good for fire suppression! It looks to me like one of those old WW1 era machine guns. Probably about as big too!
