Silencer for .44 magnum

[SilverbladeTE]

alas, the game has only TWO decent pistols, not counting the 10mm which is "bog standard"

"Deliverer" can be silenced but not the .44 magnum, which kind of makes pistol users a bit in the weak end of things :(

 

I think there should be a silencer for the .44, but take something like rank 3 or 4 of the Gun Nut perk to make it, plus appropriately expensive components in line with silencing a shotgun or such?

 

And yes I do know you can't "supress" a revolver nearly as much as an automatic

alas, the game doesn't have say a .44 Desert Eagle or other such heavy hitting semi-auto.

 

one of my gripes about the game (which I mostly adore) is there's no 12.7mm SIG pistols/submachine guns, no 9mm Submachine gun, no 10mm submachine gun OR my fave, the .223 pistol, which are canonical lore in Fallout...but that's another gripe :P

Silencers on guns are always either a nice option or even as part of the standard equipment.

Some modders will eventually get to this, but they need to be requested to add silencers and scopes.

yeah I don't understand why Bethesda didn't add a silencer option for the .44 magnum

perfectly fair for it t require rank 3 or 4 Gun Nut and expensive resources, but it should have been there from the start

you can add a silencer to a freakin GAUSS RIFLE, so why not the .44 ?

it leaves pistol players with a weak sauce limited number of options

 

 

they gave us the lousy (in game stats suck) Tommy Gun as the only submachine gun in game, but not the classic, Fallout lore 10mm SMG etc

Well in terms of realism, you can't or its extremely hard to silence a revolver, because the drum does not seal up with the barrel.. the sound would still be pretty loud.

But i must admit, its just a game :D and i would be happy too

 

Sry for my bad english

yes I know :)

but you can still "supress" it, to reduce the noise ;)

 

advantage of large calibre pistol bullets in real life is you can better / easier load them with heavy bullets and specific powder designed to push the bullet out at subsonic speeds, thus reducing noise with no supersonic "crack" of a bullet going faster than sound

and heavy/slow bullets are real man-killers.

 

hence the DeLisle carbine used .45 ACP rounds in a heavily customized Lee-Enfield rifle.

It is almost completely silent, all you hear on a well set up one is the trigger and bolt moving!

 

there are two revolvers that I recall that DO mate the cylinder with the barrel as a "receiver": the Russian Nagant, and the Webley Fosberry?

not been into such for years but wonder if someone has made more recent revolvers with such ability?
