g324 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 If any talented modders are interested, I would love to see the ruger mini-14 in the wasteland of the commonwealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montky Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 @g324hehe, plinkin time!this'd be awesome to see, as I don't think there's yet a mod for thatespecially if it is zeroed to the Pipe Weapons overhaul pack.I think WARS project will be adding the parts at some point,though more parts are always awesome! Will you be "Any Mod Any Weapon"-ing your Ruger Mini-14?skeletonized with suppressor and 'stabilizer' (I know it's cheating, but I want it to hit dead center every time hehe)?different sights? do you have any exegetical ideas how you envisage it to look; ie, some inspiration images or sketches?I wonder if I could make some unholy zip-gun kitbash with ruger mini-14 parts too?(that'll be FUN with "any mod any fail" - MALFUNCTION! failure to feed! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g324 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Most of the inspiration I have is from the images of the gun and from the NV mod. I've considered just editing the values for the G67 to use 5.56 with equivalent damage values and retextureing the wood furniture or trying to make some new pieces for the M1 carbine or the M1 garand because of the similar build (just for my own personal use), but I just don't think i'll be satisfied until I can have a real Mini-14 in my game.

USSRCJAK47 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I love an old Pre ban Mini 14 with folding stock and 30 round mag like in the A-Team show, Great gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkatt21 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 USSRCJAK47, you mean the storied and rarified select fire AC556? If someone was so kind they could make a Mini-14 mod and make that model a unique weapon. Love me some A-team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonslayer2k12 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Dam I was going to say thats the A-Team gun lol they had to fire each shot manually because of some stupid gun ban laws even for a prop weapon back then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkatt21 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) Plus they come in a cool array of calibers. You could do the Mini 30 in 7.62 and the 14 in 223, 300 blackout, or in 6.8 SPC like my personally owned Mini 14. Here's my 6.8 that I purchased used (the crappy optic and foregrip that the seller mounted on it is being replaced because TruGlo is garbage and no self-respecting infantryman would mount that foregrip on his heater) http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r512/Mkodadek/001.jpg?1493135974592&1493135986869 http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r512/Mkodadek/004.jpg?1493135974592&1493135986869 The nice part is that the platform has become pretty modular so any modder interested can use it as a basis for anything from a handy and light rifle for short to medium engagements, a DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) variant using an accustrut (device similar to what you see mounted under the barrel of an M14 that stabilizes the barrel), even the Morita rifles in Starship Troopers were AC556s in Muzzlelite bullpup stocks with Ithaca 37 shotgun mounted underneath, so it's pretty versatile and allows you to go from wild to mild. And above here's a nice picture of an AC55 and the selector lever (I'm all about details). Edited April 25, 2017 by Mkatt21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty slick. Just my two cents (which thanks to inflation is virtually worthless: it'd be nice if it was kept within the realm of wood and steel. Much as I don't hate Polymer and the like, it tends to be immersion breaking since so many weapons in Fallout are designed around a historical paradigm shift. I can already imagine mowing down ferals with an AC556 and pitying the fool. Just to keep it lore friendly as well, perhaps some backstory: this was the popular semi-automatic sporting rifle of its day that also found favor among some survivalist, militias, and police departments after it failed to win the government contract as a service rifle right before the bombs fell. That can help explain the variations in the models (you know, the standard Mini-14 versus the AC556). They're durable, lightweight, and hence you tend to run across them in some of the cabins, among Minutemen, some raiders, as well as caravan guards. Nothing set in stone but it's nice to keep it lore friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
