Change of meaning for 5mm calibre

[dragonpen61]

Would like to see all normal miniguns switched to 5.56mm NATO calibre but not just for any old reason.

 

Would like to see the 5mm calibre switched to meaning special caseless bullets as developed by clever Enclave supercomputers and scientists (or maybe a stolen from others).

 

Then new and altered weapons could give Enclave soldiers added accuracy and hitting power along with possible extra range when compared to similar standard weapons.

 

Enclave bullpup assault-rifle (snubgun)

Enclave bullpup assault-carbine (stubgun) for use by Enclave special units.

Enclave minigun (shreddergun)

Enclave light sniper rifle

Enclave light machinegun

Enclave special heavy pistol

Enclave special heavy submachinegun

Enclave semiautomatic survival gun (folding weapon found in survival kits?)

 

5mm weapons for Enclave robots and turrets.

 

Possibly an elite hunting rifle version (semiautomatic) for Enclave elites to enjoy?

Also a police and security semiautomatic version of the assault rifle?

An elite single shot target pistol version (sporting)?

 

Altered sound effects?

Just adding to and altering my first idea.

 

Special Heavy Pistol and Heavy Special Submachinegun for use with powered armour because of heavy recoil though Super Mutants could probably use them with out difficulty.

 

An alternate idea is to fit all weapons with a recoil suppression mechanism but I like the idea of having extra powered pistols and submachineguns for use with power armour, especially if the power armour is tweaked to have extra strength bonuses.

 

Additional ideas for added Enclave power and game challenge!

 

Caseless 10mm marked as 10mmC for heavier weapons?

 

Vulcan type (enlarged minigun) like weapon.

Heavy machinegun roughly based on Browning Heavy Machinegun.

 

5mm to be renamed as 5mmC?

Light machinegun to be roughly based on M60 general purpose machinegun.

 

The idea might go against Fallout 3 canon but my response is that the mod would be made simply to make the game more challenging. Anyway it would more explain the B-of-S complaining that the Enclave has better weapons than them. Adding a few plasma weapons doesn't exactly do that for me.

 

Enclave weapons and ammo would soon enough be looted from dead Enclave people etc. One could even add a mod in which the B-of-S adds a quest in which one must take examples of weapons and ammo to their scribes so they can learn from them. A mod also might add a settlement that manages to copy the original weapons and ammo.

 

The main reason I am doing this is to try to get a discussion going on how the Enclave could be made to fit more of its image of being so powerful and also more unique from the B-of-S.

 

Other possibilities are:

 

Over sized power armour with lots of weapons plus special strength bonuses but slower and less agile.

 

Over sized sentrybots with more powerful weapons.

 

Upgraded deathclaws with added armour and maybe some added exotic weapons. Carefully controlled with a kind of hitech collar.

A more chilling idea might be captured and enslaved Super Mutants with new powerful weapons and added body armour. Again a kind of hitech mind control collar.

Could do the same with other creatures?

 

Would also like to see some changes that give the B-of-S some more special technologies unique to them like robots based on power armour with robotic hardware and altered helmets (that are no longer just helmets).

 

Modders have already come up with the ideas of bringing in weapons such as the .05 calibre heavy machinegun and Barret sniper rifle. It would be good to see the B-of-S have a few of these weapons to use on a regular basis which would link them more with their US military past.

Proper permission gained and acknowledgments given, of course.

 

Could also add a zazooka, an upgraded bazooka.

 

A miniflamer, a smaller flamer being lighter to carry but less powerful. (Great against radroaches).

 

Please acknowledge that you got ideas from me but otherwise just use.

Would like feedback even if it is just such as

 

like or don't like

makes the Enclave too powerful

interesting but needs more refinement

not necessary

ideas better for new factions rather than Enclave or B-of-S

etc.

 

Thanks!
