OK, Weapon admirers, or as one person put it "gun people", here's the continuation of topics from http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1114085-weaponsmods-and-ammo-mega-thread-2/. Recently discussed were the new pump shotgun's similarity/or not to the Ithica 37 and also the fact that no one seems to be in a mood to speculate about the new laser rifle.

I also will start this off with a plea: Us "gun people" and the "Zapp Happy" crowd recent got some new goodies to ogle over, but I think the "Smash, Bash" folks are feeling a little lonely lately. Maybe our favorite video game Project Manager could give the unarmed/melee folks something to talk about? Pretty please?

All right! I was hoping you'd make a new one.

I liked the AK but the only way to have it in large amounts canonically will be to have some sort of Chinese presence similar to D.C. I'm really hoping that there will be much more reason to use all the different guns because the biggest issue I have with FO3 is that once the AK comes into play the R91 is tactically useless. Its the same with .32 pistol and Chinese pistol except they are useless the entire game.

I wasn't talking about the Chinese Mishmash AK, I was talking about the original http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/AK-112_assault_rifle from Fallout, which I suppose could be considered a Russian import, or perhaps the AK designation actually has nothing to do with Kalashnikov and means something else. It does say it was called "Colt rifle" in the beta version.

That's not true. I once threw a chinese pistol at a wastelander long enough to kill him. It took a long time, but it can be done.

BTW does anybody want to start the speculation about the new laser rifle from the latest interview? I mean, we can almost see the whole barrel and everything.

Link please?

I didn't take screen shots. Oh. You mean the new laser rifle. http://www.gamespot.com/showcases/fallout-newvegas?sid=6276249, right after Josh speaks.

The new laser rifle looks to be the ol' http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Wattz_2000#Wattz_2000_laser_rifle from what I can tell. :tops:

You can only see the barrel and a part of the body, and to top it off, when you pause the vid, the play buttton comes up right where the damn rifle is so you can't see it very well. But it does seem to bear some resemblence to the older rifle.

Like I said I was only going off of what I could tell from seeing it (Which you can't see much anyway) I'm just holding out hope that I'll be able to have the Wattz 2000, It really is a fine Laser Rifle. :tops:

I would be the most logical thing for them to do. As logical as brinning back the Plasma Caster and Glock.

I'm glad they're distancing themselves from FO3 in almost all respects, It finally feels like that whole chapter of the Capital Wasteland is closed. (And I can fully immerse myself in the Mojave Wastes) Glad to see a lot of kick-ass firepower as well, I'm still holding out for a speculated man-portable M2 Browning Machine Gun however. :tops:

[Brentleah Jeffs]

I think I have to change my pants after seeing that new Laser Rifle. It also looks like the Fallout 3 Plasma Rifle is back in addition to the Multiplas Rifle. The good old Glock 86 also appears to have made a return. Energy Weapons are going to be even awesome-er in New Vegas. I really doubt I can wait 32 more days :fallout:

I wonder what its niche will be since the FO3 Laser Rifle seems to be confirmed.

Sorry. No .30-06 or 7.92x57mm. Guess we're gonna get stuck with that stupid .50 Ma Deuce. :gun:

[FirDaus LOVe farhana]

I can't describe the joy I would have being able to use an MG42 in Fallout, Although unfortunately I doubt it'll ever happen outside of mods. (Maybe they could chamber one in .308?) :cryvaultboy:

PS: Whats wrong with the .50 Ma Deuce? :tops:

Yeah I know :sadvaultboy: we do have an M60 though, that seems as close as I'll get besides an M60 got like half it's design from the MG42 so I guess that'll do.

Sarcasm, young Luke. Sarcasm. Me love me Ma Deuce long time.

Actually I caught the sarcasm. I know your as big a fan of John Browning as I, and your a Ma Deuce fan as well. :tops:

I didn't pick up on that sarcasm either :shrug:

Does anyone know how they will be naming the guns? Will it be the perfectly generic names of FO3 or will they use actual designations and brands in the names?

The can't have actual names of firearms just because of the hissy-fit the copyrighting/trade-marking people will have, Also I'm pretty sure if they use real world names of weapons in the game they'll have to pay royalties to the companies that produced the firearm. (I may be mistaken, someone correct me if I'm wrong.) :tops:

That's what I was thinking but The Vault has them using names like Winchester, Colt, and H&K.

How can this thread have already devolved into another Guns debate when the awesome-est guns we've seen now are Energy Weapons!?!?! Anti-material Rifle, Grenade Machinegun, and Minigun being exceptions of course. That new/old Plasma Pistol looks great. The Laser weapons are looking most excellent as well. Pretty much every weapon in the game is looking pretty good so far, even better with mods.

Nate, I threw you a cookie in the opening post there. It's not our fault us "gun people" have a better PR department. Maybe you need a nifty catchphrase like "AMMO UP!" How about "ZAPP AWAY!" or "PFFFFT"? Or even "I'm a Teslanator!"

[rheanna bruining]

Well, the barrel looks a bit fatter than the Wattz and there seems to be some sort of device at the end of it, like a muzzle break but I know that makes no sense on a lazor. I also noticed a new pistol animation where you no longer run with it at your hip anymore.

Glock plasma pistol is looking damn good too. And the plasma rifle "goo" animation is way better than fallout three.

And you can have a browning 1919, just chamber it in .308

And have a mod to make it into a http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/1124/anm2stingerqi0.jpg or perhaps one of the production models based on it. Even the http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/1/16/M1919a6.jpg/350px-M1919a6.jpg of it with the stock would work.

[Jordan Fletcher]

So, just to add: In the recent Fallout article in this months Game Informer, one photo has a picture of what looks to be part laser pistol, part nail gun. I obviously can't link, but I was gonna mention it. Anyone who has it should take a peek.

Yeah I was thinking pretty much the same thing minus the mod part
