I know there are a few weapons topics already, but I am compelled to start a new one because the Railway Rifle is so awesome!

I am playing through Fallout 3, and I think the Railway Rifle is the coolest game gun ever. Anyone know if it will be making a return in New Vegas?

Gotta love how it tears off heads and pins 'em to walls.

Even cooler would be a Railway Rifle, customizable into a semi-auto, and fully-auto. Since all the weapons are customizable. I would even pay to have this in the game as DLC. **hint hint**

That's a great idea. It would make a lot of sense in New Vegas since the NCR was trying to build a large railroad system. Having a modded Railway Rifle would be amazing. You deserve this :cookie:

Only if they fix it

It was a mess in Fallout 3

Buggy as hell

Perhaps they use them as automated railroad fixers?

Well I was just thinking that it would explain why there are a ton of railroad spikes. An actual pre-made tool works good too. It could be more like the Rivet Gun from Bioshock than just a homemade weapon. It would definitely justify the serious firepower behind it and make modding it make more sense. How can you mod a homemade weapon? Making a mass produced tool better makes a lot more sense.

Thanks for the cookie!! I guess we can only hope it is in, or if someone that can make it happen reads this topic and makes it DLC. **hint hint**

I prefered the Rock-It launcher, more deadly. and you could blow people's head off with a simple can and even a pencil.

But that ammo weighs, and I hated carrying a s***load of junk around a wasteland. Railway Rifle FTW.

lier you couldnt load it with pencils. i was so pissed when i found this out after i scavenged and bought like 300 pencils

Pencils. Baby. Shoot 'em with Pencils. (pencils had not weight)

i dono if youve ever made your own gun out of pipe, gas, and pleanty of sealent, but those can be VERY powerful. now with the stuff in fallout that you can find, you could definatly make serious fun guns.

Exactly I loved this gun but when I shot it in the VAT it would always screw [censored] up

The gun looked and acted awsome but it didn't have the power of the Lincoln's Repeater.

Not that I'm saying I ever did this :hehe: , but if there was a portable air tank (like the kind used in garages to fill tires with), a 2" butterfly valve, a longish piece of 4" PVC pipe and a large supply of tennis balls or fruit and vegatable of similar diameter scattered around the New Vegas wasteland, then the Currier would be able to make an awesome potato gun. At least I presume so. :hubbahubba:

you'd need a compressor and either flamer fuel, energy cells or some other type of power to run it. but it would be awesome

and could you load the rock-it launcher with pencils. i played on PS3 and it always said i couldn't use them for ammo

Is the rock-it launcher coming back in new vegas?
