People started talking about moldy weapons, computers and TV screens :laugh: Anyways, I do use the Repeater, but only to take down bigger foes like Deathclaws, Mutant Overlords etc.

EVERYone else loves the Lincoln Repeater. Even if (for whatever inconcievable reason) they think they love other weapons more, deep down in their soul they really love the LR. :wub: I don't think the ammo is too scarce. If you do stealing independance, Sydney opens up a nice ammo shop in Underworld which is conveniently close to the rivet city weapon shop. Just stop by those shops every few in-game days and take the scrounger perk and you'll never have any trouble with ammo.

The only think that I don't like is the way the character holds the gun with their thumb wrapped around the barrel. I've tried holding my 30-30 like that and it's very uncomfortable and blocks my view of the front sight.

My favorite gun only second to the Alien Blaster

ohhh I enjoy this weapon more than any other weapon on the game. however, truth in other posts above me, the ammo is definitely scarce. I try to save it for bigger creatures like claws and overlords but I generally like using it. especially to make a point with those slavers, talons and raiders.

Abe was always honest, and so is his gun.

I tried the Lincoln Repeater, but I decided to stick with Ol' Painless. Just like the rugged look and tonnes of ammo for it.

LOL...me too

[I didnt see this one before other post.] Ol'Painless is another favorite. Easy to find ammo 32. & easy matinence with hunting rilfes+ good DMG and just like any semi-rifle "0" bullet spread, spells accurate death to the head

Yup, headshots galore on Raiders.

i think the green on the gold part is just the same thing that happens to old pennies, they turn greenish.. like the statue of liberty

Holy crap, someone with actual weapon experience! Finally! I always did think the way it was held was a bit peculiar.
That being said, I love it as if it were my child.

What's peculiar is the way they've done the reloading animation. To reload a henry, one must use a finger (preferrably the thumb) to push the magazine follower thumb latch (which when your weapon is empty of cartridges will be at the very rear of the magazine tube right up against the front of the reciever sticking down just a touch from the bottom of the mag tube, http://www.ahffirearms.com/products/henrylincoln.asp?) all the way up the magazine tube, thereby compressing the magazine tube spring up into the rotating magazine tube end cap (which also has the front sight on it. What idiot thought of that?) Once the mag spring is compressed inside the rotating end cap, you pivot or rotate said end cap to the side which completely captures the mag follower and spring and holds them at bay so you have free access to the mag tube. You then load your bulllitz one at a time, base first into the mag tube and once done, you pivot the end cap back over the mag tube and allow the mag spring to extend and compress the follower and all the cartridges down the tube so they may feed into the action when needed.

This all takes a considerably longer time than we see in the reloading animation, which consists of only the steps where you pivot the end cap and then the player *shakes* a handfull of cartridges down the mag tube, ala loading a handfull of BB's style, and pivots the cap closed again.

Of course this reloading was blazing fast for the time it was developed, a real game changer in combat, but by today's standards, it's slow as hell. Who wants to be sitting there dropping .44 cartridges down the tube one by one when that SM is about to whack yo on the head with a nailboard. I understand the reasoning behind speeding the reload ainimation to point where it's not an undue burden to the player, but I also feel they should have gone for the more realistic approach. What would you do when your rifle is out of ammo and the nailboard is aswingin' at you? You'd switch to your sidearm and take down the target, that's what you'd do. Not sit there and try to reload your henry in close combat.

-Gunny out.

I thought I was the only one that stuck with the plain old hunting rifle.

I love it, I especially love the Pip boy Pic:)

It is a awesome gun. I always carry it.

I wish the ammo was less scarce though.

Do the Pit early and use the

I just never really cared for the repeater that much, I always just use A3-21's plasma rifle.

Hell Yeah!
