The original Gauss Weapons back, non-pussified please.

It would be awesome to have the original Gauss rifle as a mid range weapon.

"The M72 rifle is of German design. It uses an electromagnetic field to propel rounds at tremendous speed... and pierce almost any obstacle. Its range, accuracy and stopping power is almost unparalleled."

It's an every-range weapon, the supreme small armament; in-fact it might be best if it never comes back, where all the weapon classes need to be balanced and I doubt we'd ever see a proper Gauss Rifle return.

1. Startrek!!! Thats cool

2. Watz are so much better. And also expand on the LAER weapons

My point was to keep the scoped one in there. The Scoped version would be slightly more powerful and have the scope, then the M72 would have its small clip, but still be powerful.

They still have extreme range and accuracy though. So the M72 would just be the same, but with less ammo capacity and with iron sights instead. M72 could be the direct german import, and the one in F3/FNV would be the american conversion, a bit upgraded.

More advances in cryogenics technology. One simple design of mine could be the manipulation of frozen bodies (usually not dead).
Through the use of a cybernetic suit, a localised backpack router which relays information to a home port computer and a parasitical
intelligence device that is implanted on the lower skull- that feeds off memories in the cerebrum and acts as an external controller.

Such technology could create nice, new creature designs. You could have Cryo Husks: completely robotic in form with no human
tissue left inside the suit, pretty useless now. Cryobers: half cybernetic; half human, brain dead zombies of ill intent to others.
Cryo Gence: humans that have awoken in their new shells, sometimes to help it's jailors or sometimes to work against them. Cyro Sight:
the very robotic parasites that are looking to find the human designated shape, then ambush them, only 'preparing' them for stasis afterwards.

This could make for a very nice matrix-esque cyberpunk zombie swarm invasion in the Fallout universe. Hehe.
Other than cryogenics, I'd say steam weapons would be nice. Not in the mind of steampunk but rather a weapon that puffs out
a load of gas which literally melts your enemy's face off given enough time and accuracy. That would be good against centaurs, I imagine.

Tesla towers set up around well established strongholds that zap any nearby hostiles at the flick of a switch - if the switch isn't flick it isn't going to do anything.

My Wattz Laser Rifle back, and some kind of Plasma Magnum Revolver.
