Should Fire arms and other guns be harder to obtain?

Just a question. Do you guys think that the guns (Laser and normal and such) should be harder to come by? Or would you rather the better guns be harder to get? Or are you fine as is?

Opinionated thing. Devs, Bethesda and Obsidian, all want the better items out of reach until investment time is put in.

But how Obsidian approached it unlike Bethesda(Though their approaches were similar) was that every type of weapon should have tiers and all varients easily obtainable for all Skills from the start. And New Vegas due to its area has firearms almost in every corner.

Normally I'd automatically say weapons should be harder to obtain. But that'd be artificially constricting the player, like not getting PA from dead BoS in FO1. And it's not an easy solution.

Any game start in lower tech faction areas with surrounding areas not having a ton of weapons would be a way to smartly cut off a flow of firearms til later. I.e. Tribals and immediate region being tribal lands and mostly factories and homes or something else.

But that's just randomly off the top of the head.

yes, guns should be slightly rarer and energy weapons should be very rare, but crude, home made firearms should be common amongst raiders, powder gangers, tribals, etc....
