I like the Displacer glove, just ran through the Legion ending again and there were a couple of really cool moments with that thing. Also, sneak attacking with it? They go freaking flying!
Super Sledge/Oh Baby is also good fun, but feels a little soft when you hit them, despite doing incredibly damage.

This Machine, I love reloading it to the point I'll be running along changing ammo types just to hear the 'ping!' noise...

AMR is kinda neat too, for sheer BOOM power.

Same here. I'm currently doing an online coop with one of my mates in Resident Evil 5 and the shotgun is awesome. I use it for everything.

On topic - the Hunting Shotgun or Brush Gun. Probably the latter, if I had to choose. I generally dislike the whole Cowboy/Wild West theme but these two are so powerful its difficult not to love them,

Well, speaking NV weapons, I would go with the Anti Material Rifle, Gauss Rifle, and Fully Mod Minigun with AP bullets, eats up Legion like candy when i make my run through :gun:

I had lucky in my last play through, but my current play through I dont have enough skill to pick the lock just yet.

Lucky is a good revolver, svcks that I cant mod it with a longer barrel unless it already has one, but I do agree, Lucky is a better .357 magnum compared to a fully upgraded one. They appear almost the same but gotta make do with what you got.

I tried the .44 magnum but its like for me the .357 magnum kills quicker than the .44 even though the .44 is a bigger gun.

Yep but there were newer revolvers with a swing out cylinder, the .357 revolver in here that has a loading gate is styled after the orignal colts and other revolvers during the "cowboy" era. Good rule of thumb is always keep it loaded up if you shoot two rounds off and no enemies around reload dont wait till your out cause you never know when you might need all six shots at one time.

The M1 is good, and alittle history note that ping of the clip popping out got alot of people killed. First it was the allied soldiers being killed cause the axis heard the ping and knew they were out so they would rush them shooting. It then beame the axis soldiers being killed when the allies learned to carry a empty clip and they would shoot a round or two and toss it on the ground and trick the axis troops into standing up to only be target pratice.

only beef I have with the M1 which is the same in real life is the peep sights, I just never liked them.

First - The Flamer! Nothing like patiently watching a group of mobs charge you until they are in range - and them kill a whole batch in a few seconds! Plus it is awesome to see them explode into flame bits.

Second, the Grenade Machine Gun with HE. Nothing says bad mofo then kicking the tar out of a group of Deathclaws with no sneaking and they can reach you!

Lastly, the fully upgraded minigun. I love hearing that barrell spinup. Follow by tons of ammo shooting out. Hot death.

Forgot all these pop guns!

slaughtering ncr troops with mah chainsaw

That is just plain cheating. But since robot and PA'd enemies are so rare in this game i guess it's acceptable.

C-Finder - lasers from the sky. just...epic
Grenade machinegun - this one is self-explanatory
BB gun - Because when you kill somebody with a BB gun, you can't help but laugh

Heavy Weapon: Gatling Laser fully modified
Mid Range Rifle: Brush Gun
Sidearm: Ranger Revolver (forgot the spelling)
Melee: Chance's Knife
Distance: Gobi Sniper Rifle
Weapon of Mass Destruction: E-Finder

Riot Shotgun is sick and awesome

Machete Gladius is my favorite Melee Weapon because it reminds me of the blade that Eli used in The Book Of Eli.

Dinner Bell + Bloody Mess = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy8wwjaxsbs&feature=fvst

Anti material rifle
Gatling laser fully modified (still sad that the isnt a unique version of it on new vegas...)
Gatling gun unique version

MY FEEESSTSS

Nothing beats beheading people with a throwing spear.

I find pew-pewing the opposition into ashes pretty satisfying.
Did Vault 34 with the AER14 this weekend, and there were problably like 5 or 6 corpses I faild to disintegrate :hubbahubba:
But that was all Roni's fault :swear: Damn you girl, when I say 'ranged', I mean you to use that Q-35 I've given to you and NOT the toaster, *sigh*
Srsly, with a character build straightly optimized for Laser weapons, these things are extremely powerful and satisfying.

YCS/186 And the Anti Material Rifle are my favourite weapons - has anyone guessed my style of play yet?

I do like occasionally not going sneaky sneaky though :ninja: and just going all out with the LMG :gun:

Lever-Action Shotgun and Trail Carbine are great. I like 9mm pistols and Lucky as well. LMG is fun to use too.

The Missile Launcher loaded with HE missiles.

Big ba-da-boom.

EXTREMELY satisfying. Especially when blowing up a group of Cazadores or Radscorpions.

Pushy.

Shoveling Cazadores to death after crippling their wings with a pistol. <3

I would suggest not telling a modern combat shotgunner that their weapon is "archaic".

Because in fact shotguns are an incredibly useful thing to have. With buckshot they are a well proven one shot manstopper on unarmored enemies, and then you can use slugs, rifled slugs, and saboted slugs to extend your reach. Then you can put in neoprene shot or foam slugs, or CS gas, for riot control. And when a door gets in your way pop in a frangible breaching round and let fly. In alternative timelines presumably they have practical flechette and explosive/incendiary rounds too.

Shotgun isn't obsolete. It's a swiss army weapon. Simple smoothbore delivery system to solve whatever problem it is you're having.

Indeed, the Swiss even make shotgun base on AK.

The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saiga-12 too. And if you like the Riot Shotgun you'll love the http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/images/39651-3-1297584251.jpg :drool:

FWE for Fallout 3 had the Jackhammer and the CAWS, but the AA-12 beats them both :gun:

The AA-12 is my favorite shotgun of all time. That many shells at one time is overkill. But it's awesome.
