Barrett M107 50 caliber sniper rifle

No, she is wrong. Incendiary ammunition is a projectile designed to set fire to a target (it kind-of explodes), it doesn't actively hunt thing's that produce heat.

i can't tell if you can't tell whether or not i'm kidding, fully understand this and only posted what i posted to draw the ire of people who genuinely think there should be fiddy cals in New Vegas, so i'm going to go back to insulting Fallout 2's arsenal and laughing at people who see cool guns in generic FPSs and decide they should be in every game ever, consistency be damned.

Use a sarcastic smiley next time maybe?

And while we're on the subject of cool guns, they should add the BFG 9000 from Doom to the game!

Oops, I forgot my own advice. :rolleyes:

How about you guys think of some unique guns other than the same old bullcrap .50 cal snipers, M4 carbine's and Desert eagles.

Fallout 3 has Laser guns, Fallout 3 has plasma guns, Fallout 3 has craftable nail guns and fire swords (shiskabobs) BUT YOU PEOPLE WONT STOP [censored] POSTING THE SAME OLD [censored] CALL OF DUTY GUNS!

I'm for a .50 cal rifle, as long as it's fictional. It can be based on real life weapons, though. So I'd say the Bozar is the closest call - looks like the Barrett M82, but it's automatic. An automatic .50 cal sniper rifle. Ain't that cool? Should be very rare though, a unique prototype weapon developed by the US army but never saw action before the bombs dropped.

Only one's I ever used where the nova surge and the metal blaster for the damage, I just didn't care for the over all design, especially for the laser weapons. To me the laser pistol just looked like a http://baseballtips.com/products/3600gun.jpg :laugh:

The plasma weapons weren't horrible, I just didn't like the way it looked, which was very fragile in my opinion, too much "green glass".

Well they had .50 caliber ammo during WWII and I Believe during WWI not sure. So it's entirely plausible they would have an in construction rifle that fired .50 rounds. Personally I would want this to be like rail-gun from the OA expansion where you only get 1 of it. You can take .308 common sniper rifles to repair it, but that's pretty much it. Need .50 ammo and that would be semi-rare about 1/2 as rare as mini-nukes were in FO3. It can be obtained from vendors, but they cost about 3/4 as much as a mini-nuke does to keep them valuable.

The .50 weapon would have a hell of a recoil and would do about 2x to 2.5x as much damage as the .308 sniper rifles. What I would definitely want to see is a single loader .50 sniper rifle and after a period of time you get to modify the ammo capacity so that it goes up to 10 rounds. However that requires quite a bit of scavenging to find the required ammo-expansion materials. Firing rate would be dead set at 1 bullet per 2-3 seconds outside of VATS, but you could increase the scope. With the powerful modded scope you can have this weapon reach the max range no problem.

If they put it in I have only 1 thing to add... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFVTP7mEDZo.

That and i think a rate of 1 round every 2-3 sec is too slow, even for that, maybe every 1.5. (The recoil on these thing actually isn't that bad believe it or not.)

"the rifle is said to have manageable recoil for a weapon of its size owing to the barrel assembly that itself absorbs force, moving inward toward the receiver against large springs with every shot. Additionally the weapon's weight and large muzzle brake also assist in recoil reduction."

If you dont like those guns then to bad, this is Fallout not another "realistic" FPS.

Fallout takes different routes to combat, if it took the same old modern time guns then we wouldnt get great guns like the fatman as they are trying to be more "REALISTIC".

If you wanna play a horror surivival game with moderjn time guns then give metro 2033 a try as its what your looking for instead of filling this forum with the same [censored] over and over again.

:shakehead:

Still not getting it are you, I want both, because I like options. Just because I say I want a Barrett doesn't mean I dont want stuff like the Fatman - if a few modern weapons are put in game, and are 1 of a kind's then you dont have to use them, or even acknowledge they exist.

You got to think of more people then yourself - I will have it my way if I have to go out and buy 3d's max (which i have been wanting to get anyway) and make the [censored] things myself, but know a lot of people on xbox who can't do that.

edit: fixed censor lol. :facepalm:

How long does it takes people to stop saying, "ZOMG FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU DIS NOT CALL OF DUTEHZ. I HAET U!!!!!!111oneone!!1" Seriously it's a good, real weapon. It's a yes for me. It could be a more realistic version of the Bozar. Sorry, but at the current moment the Bozar looks a bit odd.

Ughhhh no

How about instead of asking for real guns ask for ones that are good REMEMBER there is no such thing as a laser pistol/rifle so invent creative end game weps instead of modern day guns, energy weapons are in canon but are still high tech, even more then the ones you are suggesting

I think New Vegas should incorporate the Barrett M107 50 caliber sniper rifle as one of the new guns.
it would be good for the desert areas and rooftops.

"Who wouldn't want to see that in VATS.I have to go change my pants now" :bolt:


Looks like the WG would be about 40lbs. Would rather have a Mini-14 in Remington .223 cal plus a 30 round clip. Light, fast, and a real tack-driver.

Here is what they look like.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruger_Mini-14

#1 It's called edit... using 3 post in 20 minutes or less will not get you any cookies...

#2 Do you even bother reading any1's post who argues against your stance?

How is it fair to tell the guy that plays on xbox and want 1 or 2 unique modern gun's to go play cod or some other game.
What if they don like Cod or whatever? I know I didn't care for it too much, I beat it on veteran on my first play threw in like 6hrs, I certainty dont want fallout to be so easy. It's not like I am say "I want modern gun's only 'case all the other 1's svck and if you want those go play some other game!"

All were asking for is 1 or 2 unique gun's and make it so you dont have to get them if you dont want too.

I like the mini-14 as well and it fit's the date so I dont want to hear any lore monkeys. :banghead:

Strangely enough, the Bozar is modeled off a Barrett.

If ever these weapons did get the slightest chance of getting into fallout they wouldnt be in there exact looks.

They wouldnt look the same shiny gun metal they are but rather a rusty, wooden stock look.

You gotta think "how would this weapon look like if it were invented in the 1950's?" So if we take the Barrett for example - it would be more wood 'n' metal, look bulkier, and, since it's so old, be a bit dirty/rusty/broken.

Well they are light, I'm not sure what you mean by fast, but they certainly aren't tack drivers. They are notoriously inaccurate due to their thin barrel profiles. There are a few models that have thicker barrels, but even they aren't particularly accurate.

If you surf any gun forum, you're bound to see http://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/tag/mini-14/ picture pop up in any thread mentioning the mini-14.

Well good at least you know what im getting at. I would like to see the M16 in fallout but I wouldnt expect it to be the exact type just similar.
