It was made with being easy to mass produce in mind. Not that I like the M3, but it speaks to your point. I went and had a whole idea dump, edited into my previous post... this is what happens when I talk about modding. Goddamnit. Anyway, lemme know what you think? From a semi-marketing POV, it'd drag the mod into the viewpoint of the main community, not just gun-nuts. (Disclaimer: I am British, I have no understanding of firearms at all.) I love the idea actually. It would make having my guns much more rewarding and make it an integral part of the game rather then something I just type into the console to get. help vector 4 I really have only the most bare bones understanding of how modding works, but I know guns like the back of my hand and I have a hard time with weapons that don't at least approximate what I am familiar with. Hence this post in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athanasa Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Hmm... out of interest, what are the 'civvy' names for most of those weapons? I know vaguely that an M-16 is a modded AR-15... Oooh, found this thing: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Pre-War_companies So, according to that we have... Reveal hidden contents Circle-G, manufactured firearms and ammunition..308.38.44.45.5010mm5.56mmBig Chief (only found in FO:NV).357 magnum roundsFederal Cartridge (Only FONV Honest Hearts addon).45 automatic hollowpointsL.O.B. Enterprises - Weapons R&D. Explorable location in FO3. Was involved with the chinese military.Zhu-Rong Chinese PistolStent Security Solutions - Civilian firearms manufacturer, defense contractor. FO3.R91 Assault Rifle, lore says used following discontinuation of the M Series in the early 2000s. Issued to US Armed Forces, national guard etc.Rheinmetall AG - German weapons manufacturing. Also a real world company known for weapons and military vehicles.Minigun in Fallout 2 and FO Tactics9mm machine pistol in Van BurenRoyal Small Arms Factory - British, aka RSAF EnfieldSIG-SauerLockreed Industries - Definitely not Lockheed Martin.Future-Tech (vault tech, GECK, advanced weaponry)Heckler and Koch - interestingly, their weapons only appear in the original FO, FO2 and Fallout Tactics. They don't seem to be referenced in FO3, FONV or FO4. Legal reasons? Too close to reality?Winchester - Same issue as H&K. ... naturally with lots of room to expand. So, let's say that our real world Colt becomes Circle-G. The M-16/AR-15 maybe becomes the CR-16/CR-15? It looks exactly the same, and the name is close enough you know exactly what it is.

YailBloor Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Nice find! That really is a good resource. My only guess as to why H&K weapons stopped being in the game is they tend to be a lot more high-tech then other ballistic weapons in the game? I don't know really. Civilian model names can be weird, for example the M4 and M16 are variations of the AR-15, but the M14 has only ever been the M14. Generally, is a name has more depth then just letters and numbers (ie: Desert Eagle, Colt Python, Taurus Raging Bull) they were probably not intended for military use, but something like M92, Model 10, M82 was likely designed for military application. This is not a rule (since for example the Desert Eagle was intended for military applications), more of a observable pattern. The M9 pistol currently in service with US forces is a variation of the Beretta M92. Edited February 6, 2016 by YailBloor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boombro Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I was thinking, guns made from wasteland creatures parts? I mean, in monster hunter you can make guns from monsters you kill and has the same traits. It was really cool, seems fitting, and they can have traits of the said thing they were made of. Queen gun: a shell gun with acid spray or fire eggs.Radscropo gun: A chitin gun that fires another round of poison or frenzy.Deathclaw gun: can cause fear.

YailBloor Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 That's not really my style, I exclusively use ballistic weapons in my play throughs, but I think it's a cool idea a lot of people would probably get behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boombro Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I'm sure many would like a heavy gun that fires shotgun shells from it deathclaw shaped barrol, and roars while reloading. Edited February 7, 2016 by Boombro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YailBloor Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Lol, I'm sure your not wrong. Something like that would have to be fully automatic :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boombro Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Why? Do all big guns that don't use mini nukes and missiles have need to be auto? Why not one that shots a very strong shot? sorry, I'm not a gun export, like, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
