Appropriately Futuristic Guns

[ZephyrFive]

I can't seem to find any futuristic guns on the Nexus, except for one mod, the FAR. I downloaded that, but I didn't like that the SMG was a bit modern, and the AR was semi-automatic.

 

To my mind, there are certain attributes that go into a futuristic gun.(Mind you, this is my OPINION, and while I appreciate yours, don't deny me mine)

 

Bulky and heavily modified

 

I google'd some, and found some appropriate examples for you to use if you ever feel like you need them.

If it's in a spoiler, within it's respective spoiler, it's a large image.

 

Assault Rifles

Added note on Assault Rifles: I very much liked Yoshh's FAR AR, but was bugged by it's Semi-Auto config.

SMGs

Added note on SMGs: I very much liked the look of the 12.7mm SMG in NV, and I'm also a fan of the P90. While I'm not the biggest fan of the P90's loading method, I can deal with it easily. To me, SMGs should be fed through the grip, like a pistol, like a modern assault rifle, from behind the handle, or into the front, providing the gun is bulky enough to envelope the clip.

Pistols

I rather liked the in-game pistols. Traditional and Futuristic Pistols are more my style, anyway. However, I didn't like the 5.56 pistol. I also enjoyed Yoshh's Pistol, although it had a slow firing rate. I was pleased, nonetheless.

 

Revolvers

Also: I rather enjoyed Joe Camel's Mateba Revolver For those with similar tastes to mine, I recommend it wholly.

Sniper Rifles

I like Traditional Sniper Rifles, as well as any futuristic/cyberpunk versions. I prefer Sniper rifles with a pistol grip, when it comes to futuristic style. The game satisfied me with the Anti-Material Rifle, and there are many good Sniper Rifle Mods.

Shotguns

I prefer Shotguns with either no stock, on guns like the SPAS-12, or a body stock, like on the KSG. Moreso, I want a shotty I can tell from a rifle. So, no bulky Shotties, unless it has a throwoff pistol grip like the KSG.

I really don't need these, but I think that many people would be grateful for these futuristic guns, and I would, as well.I'd also like to get into contact with somebody who's good at poly modelling so I can think these up and run them through the modeler. If you feel like these are thankless tasks, I'm sorry, it's a bit hard to express gratitude through text.

looks interesting (and some rediculously high poly) might give some a shot and include them in my 'down a rabbit hole' mod.

thanks for the idea ^^

[ZephyrFive]

Thanks for giving it a try. I don't really need a ridiculously high poly model. If you want to, just make textures to replace light indentations That would be my recommendation to save on polys.

[orangedemi]

no prob, i really like the look of the mod 77.

when im done ill release a stand alone wep pack for the people that arent into the wacky quest stuff.

[ZephyrFive]

The Mod 77 looks to me like a more compact, but kickass version of the P90, doesn't it?

[Cyberlazy]

I really like this idea. BOS have been active for awhile, recovering and tinkering, we had 200 years of cool tube based computers, robots, AI's, virtual reality, laser pistols, gauss rifles, why not 21st century guns too?

Both real and not. I mean hey, Maybe the BOS found some 'designs' that where actualy just the posters for a video game. Or real prototypes.

[ZephyrFive]

I'm glad somebody else agrees with my sentiment. In fact, I'm wondering why there aren't guns like this in the Vanilla game.

oh hell yeah ^^

I assume its due to fallout following a diesel punk style, which would make futuristic guns look a little out of place. (not that its going to stop me from making them XD)

[ZephyrFive]

The 10mm Pistol is actually a common futuristic design, the bulky, boxy design is often depicted in Sci-Fi.

And it's the only futuristic lead-slinger in the entire series, not including the 12.7mm pistol and SMG

Upon further examination, my favorite rev design in the large, Spoiler'd picture, is the long, middle design.

What's your favorite revolver, gentlemen?

I'd like some GYROJET if possible...
