Come on guys! This is a setting with Power Armor and Supermutants!

 

Why are they carrying around piddly 5.7mm miniguns instead of the Ma Duece or a Kord 12.7mm?

 

Or maybe instead of a regular assault rifle, a 6P62 fully automatic .50 rifle?

Fallout has power armor, we should be able to use it!*

 

* Giant energy weapons are good too. I personally love the Heavy Laser Rifle mod. That gun is beautiful.

Having actually fired an M2, it really is that big. It was, and still is considered a vehicle mounted weapon not suited for being fired by a person as the pic shows. It weighs 84 pounds (38kg) without ammunition. it is 65 inches (165 cm) long. It takes a strong man to carry it in the field. A second strong man to carry the field (tripod) mount, and a third man to carry 2 ammo cans good for about 3 minutes of continuous firing.
