I just want to know your opinion.

I'm thinking a few real-life fire arms from before the split (they'd be very old by the time of 2077, so they'd be mostly collector's items) and real life prototype weapons that didn't make it to mass production (but did in the fallout universe?), aswell as a few iconic weapons from after the 50's aswell, like the desert eagle. Mostly I'm for fictional fire arms, or weapons that's inspired by some real life ones. I would never want to see Fallout cluttered with alot of SKE25367, 364jhGJH 364fgh or whatever weapons are named nowadays. Just a bunch of letters and numbers. The modern weapons in NV was good enough, I never used them anyways.

I'd like if there'd be alot more home made guns. Playing Metro 2033 turn me on with all their own manufactured guns.

If having real firearms means having a Sterling Sub Machine gun then I'm all game.

Only guns from before 1950, and guns that are based off of real guns or guns made before 1950.

I'd say use them for models, but give them more general names. Something along the lines of [faction name] [weapon function]. NCR service rifle sounds fine by me and for weapons that aren't faction specific they can just use the weapon function (like a hunting rifle or the cowboy repeater). Some models can also be used as energy weapons (as well as a pun on Star Wars).



A Sterling would be sterling, especially if the sterling Sterling has ties to Sterling. A sterling Sterling with ties to Sterling would truly be sterling.

The only real fire arms i want to see in fallout are weapons to the end of WWII or weapons that where develop in that time like Kalashnikov.

I'd much rather see weapons from the Fallout universes companies. Then see modern day weapons. Aside from a few as Gab mentioned. That was one thing I didn't like in tactics. I'm ok with weapons, based on modern guns loosely. However When your universe has companies like, General atomics, beat co. and so forth you just have to have more stuff made by them!

Fallout 1 and 2 had a lot of weapons from real world weapon manufacturers, though many were fictional (like the Glock 86 plasma pistol, Colt Rangemaster hunting rifle, Colt 6520 10mm Pistol, Winchester City-Killer, Winchester P94 plasma rifle etc.) Could also be weapons that are a newer model by something we consider modern today? Like the AK-112 in Fallout 1 and 2 is of course a weapon in the Kalashnikov family, though it is fictional and a newer model than anything we have today, it was an "old military model, out of use by the time of the war"

Well, if a weapon is from a family of firearms, which exist in real life, but itself does not exist, it is not considered a real-life firearm.

All firearms made before the end of the 1950s or where in the drawing board during the 1950s and came out in the early 1960s is ok with me.

I don't see a problem for they were around before the timeline split.

Well, ok... Then this is my answer:




Just keep in mind that weapons from before 1960 (or prototypes of that time manufactured a short time later) would be pretty old and rare in 2077, don't you think? Collector's weapons. I bet AK-47 (no wait... AK-74... or even AK-101) is very very outdated, no matter if the AK is "the best and most durable weapon in the world" today. Even the AK-112, the "latest" AK model, is considered outdated by 2077. Then jump forward 200 years. Of course the most common weapons would be those that were in use around 2077, aswell as the weapons that are being manufactured again, by companies like the Gun Runners.

So I say "fictioal weapons that were manufactured by real-world companies".

Only created before and during the fiftyes

There is also one little exception with H&K MP9 submachine gun, as the version of this gun in Fallout is completely different from the real-life version.

There is no real world H&K MP9, I thougt? There is one H&K MP7 and there is one B&T MP-9. But nothing looks like the MP9 in Fallout, as you said.

And because the 10mm MP9 bares no resemblance to the real-life MP9, it was renamed to H&K MP10 10mm SMG in J.E. Sawyer's Fallout Role-Playing Game.

We need to go deeper.

Sterception.

Tommy gun! :liplick:

(Hmmmmm, If you have guns based on what could have been designed in that timeline, that is fine, but what was designed in this timeline, NO! No way, No sir! Leave real life weapondry to the real life games, leave Fallout weapons the way they are, simple as that, i know i will not be liked for it, but that is what alternate timelines are for.)

I think I agree with MCA's comment in the Bibles about real world weapons in FO2... It was a mistake.

how about all guns (even modern guns) redecorated to look like a weapon out of 50s now for AK matter look at chinese assault rifle in fallout 3 its basically an AK redisghned to look 50s and then they renamed it (i wish they would have done that with assault carbin in New Vegas and made it shoot slower)

but with a new engine(FO4) they'll probably change a lot of things probably even the 50's theme

I doubt they will change the alternate timeline part of Fallout.

Real world weapons from before the split are just fine with me.

The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGM-148_Javelin... :bowdown: That and WW2 weapons.

Personally, one of the things I liked about Bethesda with Fallout 3 is they made it WWll-esque weaponry/Retro-Futuristic weapons. I know some gun fans or leet shooter whiners might go 'I WANT (Whatever modern popular guns are around)' But I like their style, it adds to that Pre-War 1950's Americana feel to the world that was there before the war.

Weapons, I'm not fussy really, have what you want, I'm not into using the super powerful ones really anyway, put them there for those that want them.

50's theme and items from that era, yeah fine.

Does there need to be another big jump in time, not really in my view, not if you take the present scenario as a "what if it went this way" ... the next presentation could be another variation of how events ended up ... different locations and outcomes, the Fallout scenario theme could go on forever ... but attach to the essences of 50's and originals.

Weapons, a Silenced Pistol, a Rifle, a Shotgun, something scoped, a Machine Gun.

No doubt some Wastelanders would cobble together a weapon from pipe-work and bits and pieces, some could make a Crossbow or just the basic Bow, if you can call them firearms.
