In the end of Fallout 3 I pretty much went heavy with an sniper opening of the party, or shotgun in close quarters however then you run into packs of high level broken steel enemies the best cure was an fatman double tap.

In New Vegas I use a lots of guns, the all american is standard, sniper for hitting tough enemies from long range, FIDO if trouble,

Wouldn't mind seeing something like the rock-it launcher. I always enjoyed the scavenging aspect and making weapons with what you find, and it seemed like the ultimate scavenger weapon. Literally making useless crap useful.

I hope they bring a lot of modifications for the Gauss canon. I want a "Gauss assault rifle". Furthermore, I want the return of the shots' effect of the Gauss rifle in Fallout Tactics; I think it was amazing.

... and of course, the M72 Gauss rifle.

I want a shrink ray.

Shrink rays are a fairly standard science fiction trope that I think could work well in the Fallout universe. There could be a whole set of different scenarios where shrinking your own self could be necessary and central advancing through an area or a quest.

There could be a whole Vault-Tec mini-vault that you have to be miniaturized to get into, among other things.

It'd also be fun to turn super mutants into tiny things and squish them.

SHRINK RAY!

I hope the railway rifle makes it into the game... So much awesome, spiking enemies heads to the wall or ceiling.

I always saw it as a bit of an FN FAL but that makes sense too. It's like a 50s-esque america where the M16 never overtook the FN.

I would like a disintegration beam added. A laser weapon with about 3 charges that 1 shots ANY mob (yes including Deathclaws) and turns them into dust.. This weapon may not be repaired or re-charged. 3 chances to kill anything, make the 3 count.

The Pussinator.

Explosives shape charge mines, C4 always, Bouncing betty, use any explosive round as another form like a grenade or a planted explosive. FATMAN C4.

Melee LASER TENNIS RACKET BUG ZAPPER!

Hand to hand HAND PUPPET thats chemically able to poison something.

GUNS something that has a secondary melee attack or explosive round.

ENERGY EMP PULSE CANNON

Big GUNS HIVE MISSILE LAUNCHER for when I am on a hill and shooting down into the valley at clumps of enemies who cannot climb

something that shoots sharp thing like the railway rifle or h&h tools nailgun maybe a speargun.

Laser Rcw

Chinese Assault rifle

The all american

Marksman Carbine

Perforator

Maria or a gun you can customize like maria is in a way

Railway rifle

& finally.......Waser Wifle ......just Waser Wifle

I completely forgot the Dinnerbell please please please bring back the Dinnerbell that's my favorite shotgun in all of Fallout period.

A compound bow would be cool, but mostly I just want to see more Gauss rifles also more variety in explosives.

Feet and knees.

M72 Gauss rifle is all I want.

AND it better be under guns.

I want to launch cazadores from the rock-it launcher.

I enjoyed the weirder weapons from the OWB DLC.

Usually I end up with energy weapons and a pistol for backup. On my last play-through of NV I decided to only carry 2 ammo types and recycle/sell anything that couldn't shoot those types. It kept my weight down and I was the wealthiest I'd ever been by the end of the game. It almost felt like cheating.

The Cryolator, or a version of the MIRV

Gun Runners have been making guns and refurbishing them back up to production quality.

Someone on the east coast should have figured it out by now.

Gunblade.

Fallout is full of mismatched weapon configurations, might as well do this too.

Also a freeze-ray.

Less scifi laser plasma pewpew stuff and more real guns

I'd like to see more of everything. I usually use guns but the energy weapons are a huge part of Fallout. Plus, finding new energy weapons is always a cool moment.

A jack-hammer for peeling BoS out of their shells.

A nice looking old revolver please.

The R91 assault rifle.

Would like the Chinese pistol(Mauser) to come back or some luger or walther p38 type gun, because I love old German pistols.

I wonder more....

...what kind of awesome things mod makers will do now that the ability of modding existing guns. But if I have to choose, grenades, rifles and automatics.

Indeed - I hope when they are talking about "base weapons" that there isn't only one assault rifle and everything else (the variety!) is added by mods (I am hoping that the mods apply to all of the multiple assault rifle type weapons), because that would be boring as hell -.- (at least after a while, when you have tried all the mods)

What I personally hope to see are bows and crossbows (because they are basically silent and can be used with many different types of ammo - from steel tipped ones to poisoned ones, burning ones, to explosive ones and even some with plasma or pulse type ammo...hell, you can even fire arrows with a zip-line or an anchor so you can get onto buildings) and something that works under water

I'd love a rocket-launcher with a guided missile (that I can fire on an indirect trajectory - like over hills and walls!) etc. etc.

greetings LAX

ps: Something like the gravity-gun from Half Life would be nice, too (or something that fires (spinning!) saw-blades
