How do i know if the weapon is small gun, big gun (less problem with E

[romeck]

like in topics. how do i know which type is the weapon i have ? is it written somwhere that i cant spot it ?

[xaechireon]

I think this works - The DAM value the weapon has is increased with higher respective weapon skill, so you can force a particular weapon skill to 100 to check which skill affects this weapon.

is there no simplier way ?

[Akadai]

The simple way is this, if it's a gun that shoots bullets, it's a small gun (excluding the minigun, obviously)

 

"Small guns" covers most of the weapons in FO3. If it shoots ANY type of energy or uses energy, it's an energy weapon. Though I'm not sure about the energy minigun, if it's classified as a "big gun" or energy gun. If it were really based off D&D rules as some people claim, it should be both energy and big gun and should do double damage :geek:

 

Yes, even the rifles are considered "small guns"

[romeck]
