That's an excellent point, you killed it Barbarossa. And let's not forget the new generation of Squad Support Weapons in development by the U.S. Army like the LSAT(2004) ( Lightweight Small Arms Technology ) weighting in at a mere 9.8lb.


Now, I bring this up because the world of Fallout is one of science fiction. It's a world of domestic robots, micro fusion cells, power armor and combat droids. But, many of the Ballistic weapons feel dated and primitive. Where are the lightweight battle rifles and their caseless rounds from FO 2? So Bethesda, could we get some of those crazy weapons from the previous Fallout games back? Please Bethesda, if I have to I will hand over 5.99 for a weapon pack.

absolutely agree, when im complaining on here about the weapons im most vocal about weight, but also looks and lack of variety and some dumb calibers

most of what ive read on forums complaining about weapons has been looks followed by lack of variety as the main complaints, but as ive said many times i find the whole weapon system of this game incredibly poorly designed and implemented. I also dislike the legendary system, its stupid and doesnt belong, and the naming system is an utter shambles.

we have an AR that weighs more than a M249 and looks like a lewis/vickers cross, 2 WW1 weapons and both developed before that. considering in our world a m16a1 weighs 6.3lbs and even the heaviest M16 variant with the heaviest barrel and receiver still comes in under 9lbs

H&K and some american companies that the name eludes me right now have LSW's that weigh a little more than an AR, and in fact are basically are ARs (M16 variants) with heavy and slightly longer barrels, generally with bolt open actions for sustained fire. we in NZ are phasing out our C9s for the 7.62 versions as a heavy/medium support weapon and will be using lewis machine tools AR15 platform weapons as our main AR (replacing horrible AUGs) and heavy barrel versions for LSWs

the combat rifle using a 45 pistol round? and it weighs just as much as the ugly AR, and considering one of the heaviest ever battle rifles in our world the awesome FNFAL weighs less than half??

but apart from the weights, there is no excuse for that, i could of handled all that and just not used them if only they had just put in a couple of decent looking weapons too i would of been happy, and those that like these weapons (for some reason?) would be happy too, its just so easy.

and even then if they did have the beyond stupid weights, ridiculous calibers and everything else if they just looked good i honestly could say even as a gun nut myself i could look past everything as long as i had a good looking weapon to use.

same in oblivion for example, usually sword and board for me, i hated the looks of the weapons found them tres ugly (and even more [censored] on weights) but the fine steel longsword and akvari katana were good looking so i used them and wouldnt touch an ebony longsword if you paid me.

no problem

but may i ask then, what you consider unique weapons? you state you would prefer that beth continues to make unique weapons?
