Just to make things clear, do NOT post laundry lists of various wikipedia pages of 'kewl firearms' :verymad:. Give a good paragraph as to why the 'H&K 4E1337-Whatever Mk.3' would be the greatest thing since sliced bread if it was added to fallout/how it would fit/stats etc. or even better, suggest weapons from older Fallout games which you would like to see or even come up with something completely original.


I would really like to see some more 'Archery' based weapons in this game, it would make sense to have them in a post apocalyptic scenario where guns are (or at least should) be rare. I think you could have both bows and crossbow based weapons; bows would be more numerous, have a higher rate of fire, and have more ammo available for them (like those explosive arrowheads Rambo uses :hubbahubba:), but would require a higher strength and skill level to be accurate with them. You could have 'tibal' longbows which would be more basic and less accurate, and superior and correspondingly more expensive sporting bows. Crossbows would be far more accurate and have higher penetration as well as requiring less skill and strength to use, but would have slower rates of fire as well as being more expensive to buy and maintain. Finally, you could poison your arrowheads or crossbow bolts to make them more dangerous, plus they could be counted as 'stealth' weapons.

A more interesting weapon which I would like to see would be a http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk171/fattoler/sleevegun.png, this would obviously be used as a stealth weapon to be used in a restricted area or some-such at close range and does not arouse suspicion even when it isn't 'holstered'. In regular combat it would be very weak of course but to make up for it it could have a very high sneak attack critical. More http://www.littlegun.be/curios%20et%20antiquites/a%20sleeve%20pistol%20gb.htm http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/wwtwo/soe_gallery_10.shtml.

One thing I think Fallout as a series has been lacking is the inclusion of a shield (yes I am aware shield's aren't weapons unless you are http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iDWF4xHslTs/TTgbfXaCvYI/AAAAAAAAAWU/XxasPBOwKWM/s1600/captain_wank.jpg but I felt I'd add it here for the hell of it), that was one thing that disappointed me about the legion, after all, what's a Roman Soldier without his shield? Obviously shields would be used in tandem with one handed weapons and provide extra armour for the user, and you will be able to buy things like cheap and light wooden shields or more expensive and heavy metal shields.

Finally as a 'bonus', here is the one of the most awesome things ever, a weapon which would not only be a killing device, but also can be worn as apparel! The http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk171/fattoler/helmetgun.png http://www.weirduniverse.net/blog/comments/2269/! Obviously, a few improvements could be made, such as putting it in a svvanky fedora, but otherwise this could work as a regular 10mm pistol or something which gives you a 10+ survival bonus, why a survival bonus? http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk171/fattoler/cookingwithguns.png








And as an extra bonus, http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk171/fattoler/20-02-2011150551.jpg, plus an image http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk171/fattoler/Myhatisagun.png.

I'd like the AK-112 Assault Rifle, the R91 Assault Rifle, the Type-87 Assault Rifle, the FN FAL Assault Rifle, the M60, the Bozar, the LSW, the Colt 6250, the .32 Pistol, the .45 M3A1 "Grease Gun" SMG, the MEC Gauss Minigun, the M72 Gauss Rifle, the Turbo Plasma Rifle (a unique "plasma caster" throwback to the best god-damned energy weapon in Fallout) and a myriad of others.

Nice laundry list.

You said lists from wikipedia of cool guns, these are all guns from previous fallouts, what, should i make a new post for every gun?

The Automatic crossbow
Choice weapon of the Reapers Hell-raisers.
Its accurate and deadly. It has many attachments to make it to your style. Some arrows have a hollow center so you can fill it with oil and light it on fire. some can have dynamite tied to them so they can be explosive.
This little baby is easy to make and is easy to send out as there light weight. The only bad part is the loading takes a very long time and can get you killed if you just waist all the arrows of your first clip.

all THE WEAPONS FROM FALLOUT 1 FALLOUT 2 AND FALLOUT TACTICS

All guns from 1 and 2

About the shields, I think riot shields would be a good place to start. I'd also like to see Wattz series laser weapons, possibly in addition to the AER series. I just like their looks better. The http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pNlMgH2p-Y might make an interesting blunt/melee weapon. The bullwhip could be craftable from brahmin hides.

Other new weapons could be based on creatures. Something like a fire beetle (breathing fire) and once killed you can take the fuel gland, fuel bladder, fuel ducts as well as some muscles. Next you include a piece of wood/metal to make the handle, you hammer or weld the organs on it and there you go, a brand new flamethrower. Similar things could be done with the bombardier beetle.

Other weapons would be to include mustard gas, made from ordinary mustard seeds. Acid could be included in various ways and electric energy weapons (firing lightning, starting with a simple taser) may also add something unique to the game.

Other than that, some cultural reference is always nice, so I'd like to see phasers, http://starshiptroopers.wikia.com/wiki/Morita_Assault_Rifle and some SW lasers (and the guns they used in the props, would be even better if we can convert the guns into laser weapons). Copy rights may require some altering of the weapons though.

I personally would like to see a http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/DakTarg, not that I'm a Trekkie or anything. Also bad karma you do know that most Star Wars weapons are just conversions of real guns like the Sterling, so it shouldn't be too hard.

BOZAR! Because, come on, it's the bozar!

The BOZAR is indeed a BOZAR... Which is to say a damn good weapon. :disguise:

Yes, shields I'd like implemented! I'd also like more crafted weapons, the railway rifle was a big favorite in F3 but I was sad that no one else could build one. I mean, pre-war guns shouldn't be TOO many functional left now, people should build more of their own (I know the Gun Runners build their own, but what about people who can't afford it but are good inventors?). So while the railway rifle should come back, as something some good mechanic could have built, then there should also be bows and crossbows. Things like that. Oh, and once more I throw out my little http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/3655/hpqscan0002i.jpg of a giant cross bow for a super mutant.

And of course all the weapons that were in Fallout 1 and 2 (not Tactics, that game had a bit TOO much "our world"-weapons)

That's a damn good drawing there.

That's what I'm getting at, having a Sterling in the game and the ability to turn it into an E-11.

Well adding a Sterling would be a sterling idea.

please fattlore no puns

More poseidon weapons.

Unique weapons
The Sterling Sterling (can be found in New Sterling)
General Grant's Garand
The grand Garand
General Lee's Enfield
Stan's Sten
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Sharpe_%28character%29 http://www.dixiegunworks.com/images/18723.jpg
Tommy's Tommygun
Victor's Vickers
The Baron's Bren

I like to see a guy carry a Vickers machine gun! :laugh: Also you've made a Sharpe reference, that's awesome.

@evlbastrd

Do you mean poisoned weapons?

I sure would love to se that! Heck, you could wield a browning .50 cal in Tactics, so a Vickers wouldn't be too impossible with a few adjustments.


No, weapons developed by Poseidon Energy. Check their http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Poseidon_Energy.

Negative. I mean more weapons created by poseidon energy corp, with nifty poseidon logos, other than sat death rays.

Like Zeus long range lazer sniper rifle. Just pulled that out of a hat.

Maybe a poseidon corp mezzer, some new kinds of weapons slavers would be interested in for aquiring slaves.

Well I would like to see and http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Artemis_%28rail_gun%29 in a future game.
