Hi im curious if there is a way to tell in game what skill a gun is associated with. I would imagine there is one but I dont know what it would be. I have a modded weapon and am curious if its affected by the big guns or small guns skill.

I have the pc version. Can i use the console to do this? I'm not even sure how to bring the console thingie up. Thanks!

Everything above rifles is considered big guns. I don′t know how to check that though. The console is brought up by pushing the key just below Esc. I can′t give you any commands as I don′t use the console in FO3 myself.

I'm not sure if i would call this a rifle or a machine gun. Its the FG 42 from apocalypse armory. It seems disproportianatly powerful to be a small gun outperforming the M1 Garand & AK-47 by a fair amout (im for sure that they use the small guns skill)

By hotkeying it, it will show what skill it uses by its icon. (Assault rifle=small guns, nuke=big guns, lightning bolt=energy, bomb=explosives)

thanks I did not know that , but it figures.

Yes I see it know ... makes sense since every thing I hot key is a rifle.

Further testing to be done on everything that can be hotkeyed.

For example ... what do stimpaks show up as ??? will report back later

hey thats neat i never noticed that before!

Answer: a syringe (old-style type with finger loops)

Despite that fact I knew this it never struck me to write it down here. Good thing you did
