Everything WRONG With The Guns in Fallout 4 

Even with exploding or bleeding effects?

@@CyranofromBergerac well explosive ammo do have different exception But, we gotta face it on normal play pipegun still outclasses minigun. The only thing they good for is for caps

@@MA_690 two shot legendary can help, along with a maxed out big guns perk. That would make a tri barrel minigun do 40 damage per shot.

@@Zynet_Eseled That's still fairly pathetic tbh. I have had to use mods to give myself the ability to add two legendary effects to weapons to make the minigun halfway decent. My minigun has both the explosive and two shot legendary effects and with them plus being specked into demolition expert makes it a decent gun. Decent but not outstanding.

@@killman369547 wtf bro, explosive damage is around 15 in base perks in EVERY single limb. Minigun shots 5 bullets per second...

Got damn

Ikr. And the worst part is you cant grip it in VR. The fucking pippoy just pop in your face

yeah i only realised how big it was when i got the creation club 10mm and that thing was even biggerand it just sorta awoke my perspective

yeah the 10mm is gigantic for a pistol honestly i feel like it should be a desert eagle not a 10mm

In the Fallout universe, no atomic warheads were dropped at the final stages of World War 2. The pilot simply threw a 10mm pistol out of the cockpit window and called it good.

Yeah, bethesda somehow managed to take what was originally a rather outdated, bulky compromise of a design, and added water cooling back in - the feature that the whole design was intended to eliminate...

@@RedWurm You are damn right!!!

what happened?

If you didnt saw the Fallout TV Show the abomination of an Assault Rifle from FO4 was there….

​@@BasedGuy18the abomination gun was made less horrendous in the show

@@crunch.dot.73 It really just shouldn't exist. Only reason it was included was so the timeline wasn't even more fucked.

And it was made practical, showing that it was made especially for Power Armor units - it is heavy, bulky and anything smaller would just look goofy AF in a Power Armored hands.@@woncisxboxgamer50

That is actually the best reason Ive ever heard for the 10mm to be so large (besides making a great post war club)

10mm is a pretty weak weapon for someone in power armor though

@@RCXDerp fair but you have to think, the Chinese didnt field much if any power armor to my knowledge so you don't really need a hand cannon. Just something to poke holes in soft infantry

It looks too much like the 14mm and 12.7mm from older fallouts and new vegas, but not strong as they are.

I always just turn into into a SMG cause I feel like it fits that class better than a pistol plus all the ammo you get just calls for the gun to be fully auto. I instead either use .44 Magnum, or modded Colt 1911 as my sidearm

this explains everything xD

To be fair sacrificing settlers to an Old One to create pipe weapons definitely sounds like something a raider would do.

Ork mod is Canon.

@@howizee anything ork related is cannon aslong as they believe it is

IMO, Pipe weapons should have been something like Junk Stens(including right side ejection port instead of left side ejection port), with different tiers of weapon types having different performance. So junk items like the Pipe weapons(which would include weapons that someone with barely any knowledge about making guns made them and of course some lead pipe and tire iron mounted blunt or bladed attachments as well as shivs) that are made by people with a LOT of scrap and little knowledge of weapon making are the Junk category, while weapons like Makeshift SMG, Makeshift Antimaterial Rifle, makeshift Shotgun/Grenade launcher are made by people with a lot of trash and a lot of knowledge of weapons and then you have 3d Printer and Gun nuts that practically have stamped sheet metal easy to make but good performance guns.

Bethesda suck now :(

Some guy from another video suggested an overall better fix for that quest. You don't get a minigun. You don't get power armor. You don't fight a deathclaw. You fight the raider boss, who's wearing power armor and wielding a minigun.

@@DJWeapon8simple solutions are sometimes the best lmao

@@forrestpenrod2294 for me, that would only be one approach to concluding the quest. Two more would be: • Treat with the raider gang. Use diplomacy via Barter, Speech, Strength, either of the 4 Combat Skills, or any combination of all 7 to get them to back off and prevent further bloodshed. • Use stealth to deal with the raider gang. This approach would have several "optional" objectives that would further increase your chances of success such as: poisoning their food supplies, sabotaging their leader's power armor and minigun, or straight up kill them all while they're asleep. Lastly. These approaches, including my original reply to fight the raider boss in the open, would also apply in the reverse. You can side with the raider gang and fight, stealth, or treat with Preston and his band of rejects.

​so basically if Fallout 4 was Fallout: New Vegas? Man I get a lot of people are annoyed how much that game gets sucked off, but it does so *so* many things right

Or just give the minigun proper upgrades like the other weapons. That way its still balanced early on but can become very powerful later on once you upgrade it.

That wouldn't work tho. The trigger needs to pop back out between rounds

There’s no point in fanning a double action revolver. There’s also just no point in fanning any revolver anyway as it’s a Hollywood trope that was never really actually used in real life because of the consequences being that you’d basically ruin your revolver, which probably meant your livelihood if you’re ever in a situation where you’d be fanning your gun. Oh, and let’s not forget your wrist would probably snap if you try shooting a .44 Magnum, that fast with only one hand actually holding the gun…Yeah that’s happening

@@kgapaneseschoolgirlb how would it ruin the revolver? I have a .22 that I've shot that way a couple times, mostly just to try it, and obviously not as fast as they do in the movies.

@@andrewsilva9721 It can cause a whole heck of problems, like I’m talking a big list of parts (some of which you probably didn’t even know were in the gun) potentially breaking. If you want to know every single detail, I implore you to look it up. It’s a very heavily covered topic that gun nuts have picked to pieces so there’s a lot of information immediately at hand, no sifting necessary. Anyway, the big major problems that will almost always happen after awhile (or in some cases almost immediately) will be that the hammer will bend and/or break due to the fact that they weren’t designed to take that amount of abuse. Think of it, you are forcing it down, with the palm of your hand at high speed when it was designed to be pulled down by your thumb…Yeah not good. It also causes the cylinder in the revolver to become unaligned with the barrel and fire out of time. The firing pin is also likely going to get damaged by the speed it has to go if it’s an older model. Springs in the gun are a weak point in general. Tl;dr It’s just plain bad my guy…

@@kgapaneseschoolgirlb You gun nerds always have to be buzzkills, don't you?

Haha me pipedaka shooter go dakadakadakadakadakadaka

Ima call bullshit on that one. Hunting rifle was fine in 3 and New Vegas, proper right hand. It was a lazy way to not have the players right hand leave the gun. All the weapons in the game charge from the left because, well, they’re lazy.

Was the instructor Ian McCollum lol?

Mmm...ok, but why is the left-handed rifle wielded right-handed? When using a left-handed weapon you should fire it left-handed.

@@rickiecomeaux8287 they didn't know it was a left handed rifle, that's the whole point bro lol

​@@rickiecomeaux8287 Because they probably cant bother to make another animation like what capcom did to Sheva in RE5. She left handed and she have a completly different animation for all right handed weapon.

You can upgrade it. Also perks. Also legendarys. Also you wrote rufle.

@@winzigerflashendeckel6894 and then there just isn't

@@HopeyDiamond ?

@@winzigerflashendeckel6894 there isn't a better AR, as stated

@@HopeyDiamond yes there are. You just need to upgrade it. You do know that you are ment to upgrade your weapons, do you?

But for some reason the combat shotgun in base game is OP

@@badtasteawful4704 The explosive combat shotgun is 2nd only to the explosive minigun

@@midgetman4206 yeah, but the shotgun is easier to use

It was the same laziness that made 76. It's why I say this: You can like Fallout 4. But don't you DARE say it's a Good Fallout Game. It's a decent Shooter, that is it.

@@happyalex1534 Definitely more practical. It's a way better option for long term use. But if you really -need- want to kill an absolute butt ton of dudes, the minigun takes that lead.

If I remember correctly, the Chinese Assault Rifle was supposed to return as an assault rifle in FO4, but for whatever reason they cut it and gave us that as the machine gun instead, only giving us a proper (even though shitty representation of an AK) Rifle in a DLC.

They wanted to make it fit well with power armor, and yet they failed even in that regard, since the grip and trigger guard are too small to fit p.a. hands and clip through it!

They could’ve used the automatic rifle or LMG from New Vegas.

@@luiscancino5023 And yet this is what we get......smh how cool it'd be to fire a shoulder mount MG in the FO4 power armor, missed opportunity

It reminds me of the Lewis gun in some way

I think it works alot better when being held with power armour like in that once scene with the yao gui

@@Wellos_Speed it still looked bad x.x gatling gun or gatling laser would've been 10x better

"ah yes I love firing a fking Pringles can" - all 3 of the fallout 4 ar fans

Too bad they were too lazy to re incorporate a damage and repair system they literally made this fucking game and half way thought “you know, we’ll just let the modders do the rest”

You shouldnt have gotten either at all in my opinion not that early.

@@Pepper1770 No, nothing like this ever happened.

Why the hell would you do that? Just make ammo for it scarce in early game.

@@rileyernst9086 lol

There is an easy fix for this. Just get an explosive variant…

This, fucking Bethesda never got out of the "archery" aspect from TES. Full auto guns are just bad and it fucking sucks, instead of making ammo real scarce to balance the big damage out, they just feed you TONS of it but make it kinda worthless. The only full-auto gun i used was the legendary "AK" from Nuka World, which did more and more damage on a target as you fired. Funny enough, since the ammo is only found and sold in Nuka World and i didnt wanna spend too much time traveling back and forth, i ended up saving it for tough times - it felt really good.

@@vavra222 the AK-pattern rifles from Nuka World were the only ones that didn't suddenly shift to a fraction of their damage when you switched to full-auto and I had to stock up an ABSURD amount when I finally went to NW so I didn't have to go back and forth. Thank goodness for mods - there's one I love that's literally named "automatic weapons are dangerous" and I never play without it.

@@vavra222 Absolutely agree about the unnecessary nerfing for auto weapons. I would think a simple loss of accuracy/recoil control would have been a much better choice.

@@man3son1 Agreed, at least you would have a way to get more proficient with full-auto weapons. Like a combinations of perks and the Strength stat to help you with recoil.

Why a shovel? Because they saw the AK from Rust and just copypasted

@@lucasperuzzo7459 I thought they based it on a meme

@@thesupersonicstig Brandon Herrera talked about the shovel-handle AK in one of his curse guns video and he said that the gun was made by some dude in Russia in the early 2000s

Maybe they found them without the gun butt's and made their own

I'd imagine that the tools to build a Kalashnikov could be found somewhere in the wasteland. The gunpowder age began much earlier than the Industrial Revolution so guns were made by hand for centuries. And a lot of industry was probably left over after the bombs dropped.

The 10mm Pistol has been a staple of the series since the very first Fallout, where the flavor text of it was, I think, along the lines of: "-the most popular handgun in pre-War America." I think the weird chunkiness of so many of the firearms in FO4 are down to the way weapon customization works.

@@Maria_Erias unfortunately Bethesda switched the old model for the new model that's seen in the recent fallout games FO1 and 2 had the Colt 6510, which was a Beautiful 10mm mag feeding Revolver that was extremely unique, FO3 introduced the Colt N99, which is based off the Desert Eagle, hence its bigger design, however it was never made out to be a Power Armor weapon, in fact quite the opposite, as in many terminals, on skeletons, and in representations like the Anchorage reclamation show the 10mm actually being extremely popular among infantry and Officers. As for the FO4 10mm I have absolutely no fucking clue why it's so obese or so different from the N99. All I know it's that it should've been burned in a fire.

The Fallout 1-2 10 mm looked stupid. Not "beautiful" at all. And it didn't make any sense. None of the 10 mm from the Fallout games look good. With the best by a small margin being the one from 3 an NV.

@@arkadyrex5305 The only 10mm pistol I'd call beautiful is the gun from the Colt 6520 Reimagined mod for New Vegas. It's sleek and reminds me of the FK Field Pistol made by Brno

Maybe, i can see the logic of power armor’s chunky hands needing a chunky gun to match. But the 10mm has always been this way. A unrealistic fatty of a pistol

To their credit though, they did the best they could with that sack of crap call an assault rifle by having power armor troops using them and showing that it is very heavy and bulky. Maximus can barely lift the bag that stores it (and by the way it looks I bet at least 50% of the bag's space is where you would store the "rifle"). Granted that spawn of Satan should have remained in Hell and never been in any fallout, but at least they made the best of a bad situation. (which reminds me of a minuteman fanfic I came across that actually explained on how guns like the "assault rifle" and "combat rifle" came to be).

@@tugalord I wish they brought back the all-american rifle

@@SinAster_19 i was thinking of the AR platform as a whole, and the G3 (R91) aswell, possibly as a hard hitting battle rifle

the fallout tv show seems to rightly treat it as a machine gun for powerarmour units only

Yet I have max ammo for it 9999 lol

@@loganwithlightsabers3051 yeah I mean they’d probably be fixable but if the game had durability those thing definitely should’ve been broken

That’s even more asinine and insulting to the general intelligence of humans than what they already did

Damn that sounds like a excuse to stuff these things in pre war safes and such. I honestly wish they would have excluded these things entirely, could have replaced them with weapons that are useful beyond level 5.

@@brotbrotsen1100 I think they could’ve done more with these if they had actually made them like the luty or sten or basically any real gun that’s an angry tube and also kept it in cartridges that make sense

And plus...the M249 SAW was in Fallout Tactics and New Vegas

That's the same reason the Hunting rifle is left handed. Classic FPS game design fuckup. Put all the moving parts of the gun on the left hand side so people can see it. Sometimes the gun ends up with all the shit from the left side *and* the shit from the right on the left side.

There were water cooled barrels irc

The Lewis forced air system was pretty innovative for the time it was made, although by the fictional year 2077 I expect technology to have progressed. Always felt silly to an early 1900's weapon in the *future*

Yeah have to agree it isnt based on a Lewis , its more a Vickers or Maxim but yeah still Word war One or world war 2 Russian.

@@kruler-westoz-nauman3638 yes but it has the fins on back of the barrel shroud indicitive of the Lewis gun

@M1 Garand yes but it also has a port for pouring in water

I thought it was the Vickers gun

@@zintum220the vickers is essentially a British version of the maxim

To be fair... The SAW grip is an awesome grip.. They sell SAW grip conversions for ARs and they're pretty sweet.

Bro really said “☝️🤓”

It's also an American gun, not a British gun,

They had the Chinese AR in the files in an untextured state must have been cut mid-way through development

It's not an Assult rifle, it's a 50.BMG LMG made for power armor. they scraped the actual assault rifle for some reason. On the assault rifle's suppressor it says 50.cal on the side. The 10mm pistol was also made for power armor that's why it's so large. it doesn't look as large when your carrying it in powerarmor.

@@john_doe406 You do know how bad of a take this is right? The Suppressor on a combat rifle says 12 Gauge on it because it is a reused asset also the Sub-machine gun uses the same suppressor too

What was wrong with just using the service rifle,Or the FN FAL ? They always do the commie weapons slightly better justice in the Bethesda games. They even did a much better job on the ak-47 calling it the hand made rifle. I think it was a purposeful decision made by those in charge. A act of politics in a game. Their are so many real life weapons available in the fallout roster after fall out tactics. So many well designed weapons from New Vegas. However those are not Bethesda. The big claim that many make about it is they don't want call of duty or battle field in fallout. Again this comes from the fact that guns from 50-60 years ago are still in service in a up dated form. So those who would complain about a m-16 in would realistically complain about it in any iteration. They would also have no legs to stand on. I'm sick of the iconic stoner rifle getting crapped on by idiots. That goes for the right arm of the free world the FN FAL too. All that needs to be done is limit the accessories i.e. mods to gear from the late eighties. Then I would change the Bethesda assault rifle from fallout 3 in to either a FN CAL or FN FNC to make it a allied production rifle. Hell even the "missile" launcher is a rpg-7. Could went with any shoulder launched NATO system. But no it's another commie weapon.

@@smokedbeefandcheese4144 the FN FAL was in two, I was saying that r91 should have just been a FN fnc

Literally the worst guns ever fallout nv spoiled me

Yeah, it's a shame because many games are allergic to making the player deal with real recoil. If more games just made automatic fire much harder to control but do the same damage it might actually be better balanced. Frankly, every game should just allow for select fire like most modern shooters, there's plenty of buttons on the keyboard

Esp when the accuracy is shit

@@riffler24 I'll take my paupers controller and go home now.

@@katatonikbliss ?? I dont follow

Search up the "Obrez". It's intentional on the part of the people cutting them down for a high caliber short range pistol.

Yea but the hunting rifle has a perfectly shaped, clean barrel so it couldnt have been just cut off

For nomadic raiders postability is also very important. Smaller gun = easier to transport.

Do they really just bend barrels to destroy them? Just put in a new barrel and done, they work again

@Armagedon013 And what makes you think a cut down hunting rifle wouldn't have similar uses? Kill someone better armed and steal their weapon is already a fact of the wasteland.

It felt like I could finally play my Infiltration class (suppressed medium to long range rifles and suppressed pistols) when i found it. Dealing as much damage as a regular 10mm and weighing 1/3 of one made it a no brainer.

Yeah, assault rifle is weak and too heavy.

@@paistinlasta1805 As a water cooled LMG designed for power armor it would make sense, not having an actual assault rifle like the G3 or M16 from the earlier games is silly though.

if you modify the assault rifle enough, you can easily pass it off as a LMG or a very thick wasteland weapon

It looks like a gun out of WW1

@@Venator-Class_Star_Destroyer That's what I did in my game. I also changed the name of it from Assault Rifle to LMG.

If that is the case,then why does it clip power armor no matter how you hold it specifically because of how stupid bulky it is?

A rifle designed specifically for power armored infantry makes sense. A rifle designed specifically for power armored infantry chambered in a pissant caliber like 5.56x45mm NATO makes no sense whatsoever and outs Bethesda as being both lazy and stupid.

When I first saw the assault rifle I thought it was a crew served weapon much like the Bren gun of ww2. The carrying handle and sideways mag well makes since for an assistant gunner to reload the gun while the gunner maintains a sight picture on targets and the gunner carry the weapon while the assistant gunner carries the ammo. However the assistant gunner position has mostly been done away with still making this weapon a step in the wrong direction and completely pointless.

I think it was moreso the fact that they were gonna add in the Chinese Assault Rifle, and that the "Assault Rifle" was originally called the Heavy Machine Gun IIRC. However the Chinese Assault Rifle was cut, and they just renamed the Heavy Machine Gun to the "Assault Rifle" and called it a day.

In some old files it was call Machine Gun and was meant to be a something that looked good with Power armor but instead of adding say the R-91 assault rifle from Fallout 3 or a M-16 variant they just made that the assault rifle... they had over 5 years to make this game and none of us really knew when and if it was coming until the year of it release so that's why I personally am so hard on it It. Fallout 4 is over stylized, weapons are left handed to show casing come out because they think its cool and dumbed down to a ridiculous level

Like the swatters

Wouldn't really work because the pip-boy tells your character the name of everything you pick up

@@WispOfLife It could if the actual names were in the pipboy as well, its basically a personal computer I dont think the sole survivor wouldn't be able to change the names on it lol

This is an actually great idea!

The irony that the very same game that gives you a character who should know these things is the game which removed their names in favor of generic ones.

CS:S really feels like the start of devs making guns left handed on purpose- at the time, devs didn’t have as much gun knowledge and CS:S was known for it’s realistic designs, so it’d make sense to take from the best at Valve. The other reason a lot of game guns being lefties is that there’s “more action on screen”, which makes no sense outside of the purposely goofy TF2.

Isn't that the same issue as with CS 1.6 and CS:CZ guns?

@@DanielLaixer I think so.

Apparently: the guns were actually being tendered correctly, they were being placed on the left side of the screen Instead of the right.

As a left handed person who likes to shoot guns it would be nice though to have some guns that I can handle better

As opposed to New Vegas, where miniguns are unobtainable until midgame (where they become almost useless because of low armor pen and rare ammo). At least I actually get to use the gun in 4, to kill a Deathclaw in the early game. Instead of getting killed 5 times while trying to sneak past the Quarry.

@@jodo2785 just walk the recommended path and get the unique mini gun, hell just get a stealth boy and run along the mountains across from the quarry and get the minigun within like 30 minutes of starting.

@@alexceni377 lots of mobs and walking distance to the Avenger, not impossible but inconvenient also the only way to get reliable ammo is with luck 10 and the scavenger perk . . . or spending a fair bit of caps on surplus . . . or going out of your way to loot and buy mats to make 5mm, choices that all kinda suck and amount to work or handicap I tried a minigun playthrough, well as much as it can be. Fastest way is to lure a mutant away from Black Mountain and popping him with pyscho and grenades, then use a repair kit I'm not saying that you never get a minigun, it's just that the resource cost to use it is so high . . . it's more of a last resort, while taking up alot of weight, and costing like 4000-6000 caps. By the time you have the level to really use it, it's a pea shooter almost as bad as 4 in 4 it's kinda the early game big gun, Carla can sell hundreds of 5mm at a time, and you have a settlement that can offset the cost and basically provide you with free ammo on each restock by mid game, it becomes a decorative element, something you use before you remember that better guns are in your inventory . . but at least you get to have fun with it for a while, and if luck provides then you get the explosive version and suddenly the glowing sea on survival doesn't seem so bad also the NV minigun is just the one from 3 so Todd gets fhe credit

Which is weird considering .45 is still bigger than 10mm

Full power 10MM is a spicy boi and, in a specific category, is the most powerful production semi-auto pistol caliber, meaning for non-revolver cartridges you can get at Cabela's or Scheels, its the most powerful option for handguns.

There is a mod that raises the damage to a minimum of 80 and can go higher. That makes it quite a beast.

@@thomaswilloughby9901 love this mod. Although random raiders and super mutants equipped with a minigun are a lot more dangerous. I haven’t even found the explosive version yet… and I don’t think I’d ever want to for my sake and the games sake

Not exactly "no reason", but rather lazy game design. The only kind Bethesda knows.

@@Mirthful_Midori no good reason then

Genuinely I wanna know what some like good alternatives are instead of just nerfing automatic weapon’s damage like maybe just make the recoil pretty bad or making it pretty inaccurate in vats but still does the same damage as it’s counter parts that aren’t automatic

While talk about full auto weapons, you just slam 5 perk points upgrade Rifleman perk and use Advanced/hair trigger receiver, you can make average semi-auto rifle goes full auto by spamming and you still get recoil reduction and full rifle damage

It just *works*

I believe that the reasoning for the left handedness is so that you can see the animations while they are held in right side bias of the screen.

@@TheNecrobotanist i agree with Bradley. It has been done in many other games.

it was ctually because the animator was left handed and they just mirrored the animations

Its a stylistic choice, as an animator myself it makes sense. You want your weapons to show all of that reload animation off but you dont want to flip the bullet ejection because itll fly across the screen. The video calls most things lazy that when you look at it from a gameplay ergonomics aspect they make perfect sense

@@olympusxi8436 no they dont make any sense at all, there are hundreds if not thousands of animations that could be done correctly and not recycled from the pipe guns, the charging handle being on the left side is not a real issue, unless its on the bolt action rifles, but the ejection port being on the left side is beyond stupid since in real life it would just rain down cartridges into the shooter if he is right handed (as is the case with the majority of people) and in a gaming perspective it clogs the screen when firing full auto, as if the sheer size and scale of the guns isn't doing enough to clutter the screen. It is lazy and it doesn't make any sense, want the charging handle animations to show when they are located on the right side? tilt the gun a lil bit like its done in real life. There ARE such things as bad animations and sometimes it does come down to details like these bro.

Oh, so it's a PSStol then

Looks like a kids toy gun lol

not tgo mention it sounds like a cap gun

I don't like any of the 10mm pistols in the series. Too wide, too bulky, underpowered compared to real life, and has low capacity despite the massive grip. BUT, if they made it as a dedicated sidearm for power armor units and made it thinner, got rid of the kibble in front of the trigger guard, increased the capacity 2x, and made it *slightly* weaker than .357 magnum, and finally, gave it a Guns skill requirement of 65 and a Strength requirement of 7, I would've liked it. EDIT: Changed my mind. Screw the "power armor pistol" as it makes no sense. Just use the PA hands and punch through their ribcage. Just make the 10mm make it a practical sized handgun.

It's more akin to a desert eagle

Also should be a three-burst fire like Robocop's hand cannon

That's probably what it was going to be but I think they decided to prioritise a voiced character for their generic, shallow story.

No, it shouldnt. 10mm vs .50 AE in real life is not even comparable. This just looks like semi automatic pistol.

I might be wrong: But I believe that's how the 10mm in the original Fallout was.

i mean the glow reflex sight on the pipe gun is much better imo.

depends how far you are in the game. both exp and resources are basicaly infinite, weapons are random and sometimes its convenient,if you get a shitty one just dont use it lol

modifications are better for legendary guns and making builds for more flexible guns like the combat rifle that can be made into a sniper/machine gun.its fun and makes sense in a post apocalypse world with mismatched gun parts

Oddly enough I enjoyed that sight. Kinda felt challenging and satisfying to hit a headshot on those raiders at corvega. That was the only time I used pipe weapons lol

You...spend xp when crafting? Wth? I even level up after crafting a lot!

The 10mm looks like it should be used with power armour but other then that Fallout4 guns are so fucked

The Assault Rifle also seems to be designed with PA Users in mind, Wished they designed it a little differently, though. I don't mind a "Vickers Assault Rifle" or, "Heavy Assault Rifle". as long as their strength requirements

Fucking all bolt actions are left handed......fucking why

Oh sure, the hunting rifle is fine…except for the fact it’s bolt is on the WRONG FUCKING SIDE.

@@RealDavidChipman Too many left handed guns.. I do dig the water cooled assault rifle.. As long as your wearing PA and it has an strength requirement.

I imagine it's simply so the action of the reload is within player POV. Far Cry 2 did a lot of left handed guns for that reason, I've heard.

Yeah like gas and smoke will be just blasted right in your face pretty much. Who the hell thinks of doing that, and then proceeds to make the character hold it RIGHT HANDED. SOB should be burning a layer of his face off every time he fires, at LEAST from a flying hot cartridge.

@@Wildlink123 I shoot long guns lefty but everything I own is right handed, including semi-auto and bolt action. I guess I’m just used to it, but I never had problems.

I'm the same boat. Left handed, and left eye for long guns. Right handed and left eye for handguns. Dam eye injuries. For right handed bolts, I usually reach my left hand over, and pull the bolt up and back. Seems better and easier than moving support hand.

Get a Swiss straight pull bolt like a k1911. Classic firearms sells them. As a lefty I feel your pain.

Same the handmade assault rifle (AK) was honestly the only gun from the game I liked…. Same deal with armor, most of the armor sets in that game look like absolute trash excluding maybe the marine armor and even then it has weird shoulders

@@coolfrymaster Drifter armor is usually my go to in vanilla. I would never go back to vanilla though, ever.

Only gun I really didn’t like was the Assault Rifle

hell they even butchered the energy weapons by making them massive and unwieldy plus forcing them into only one ammo type per energy category

@@zeonthefox I mean it kinda makes sense

Who the fuck buys a hunting rifle pre obrezed?

@@ntfoperative9432 fallout people from boston I guess

@@ntfoperative9432 Good question bruh

I mean laser weapons in lore tend to one shot people, they're incredibly powerful

@@Catck_meowston most guns tend to one-shot people. That's what happens when you put a hole in them.

​@@michaelfixedsys7463 That's fair 💀

Ok but every Fallout game except for the Bethesda ones has mostly realistic guns taken from real models. Even the wackiest looking guns from New Vegas are still inspired by real models like the BFR used as the inspiration for the Ranger Sequoia.

@@michaelfixedsys7463 It depends on where you hit them and if they are high on drugs

I think the point of that visual was to demonstrate just how big the game thinks it's okay to make a 10mm pistol.

I like the modded variation better. Tis more iconic.

@@Xahnel I wondered about that myself, especially if you pan the camera and look at your character sideways with the 10mm drawn. Then again, I think they designed weapons with the power armor in mind, because when you're in it, it suddenly looks appropriate - a fully modded swatter still looks like a lollypop though.

that was was clumsy.

@@Sapscheit’s swatta

A lot of games have left handed guns for that exact reason. What bugs me more is that your character NEVER releases the charging handle,he always guides it forward. That’s a surefire way to get a malfunction. Dude is supposed to have military training smh

I like big guns as long as they aren't goofy looking, like imagine if something like the BAR was in fallout 4 instead of the assault rifles we do have?

Far Cry 5 is perfect, the gun stays just down the cornor unless you aim, it’s so realistic

Well what do you expect from the same the publisher as Doom?

Its to prevent proportions looking bad when you wear clunky armor. If you're wearing bulky power armor, a realistic sized M1911 would like ridiculous in your huge hand.

@@NateTheGreat368 The New Vegas Expansion: "Dead Money", has the BAR.

^^ Knows what's up.

When i first saw the "Assault rifle" i thought of the vickers machine gun.

@Daniel Sandström Ohhhhhh, because of the light ported barrel variant. Ok. Yeah, you thought deeper than I did.

@@chickenfate5235 Yeah.

And its not British, its American.

I don't think Bethesda knew that though. They put a water jacket plug on the front end combined with the cooling ribs from the air cooling jacket.

@@MediumRareOpinions yes, thats really weird. You ca see cooling fins for air- cooling in the back, but also that plug and some water pipe in front. Its an oddball for sure...

The Lewis was air cooled, but then Bethesda did a Bethesda.... They couldn't just use the HK31/91 and AK/RPD assault rifles from the previous game for some reason.

@@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz you know what's what's stranger, nobody told the person making the art assets for the gun merchant sign in Diamond City, it prominently displays an R91 Rifle even though its never found in the commonwealth.

@@MediumRareOpinions oh yeah, I forgot about him. They clearly did the art based on FO3 guns, and despite the locations being so (relatively) close said "nope" and didnt bother using them in game. That's even worse, to be honest.

oh yea, let me just spin the cylinder for 3 seconds while a ghoul is eating my face. hated using the revolver because of that

Bethesda: but it looks so cool!

Depends on the revolver, and if the hammer is at half-cock. At half-cock the cylinder on my Single Action spins freely (Has to since you load it one round at a time via a loading gate). I don't think the in-game one has a half-cock position and the swing-out cylinder would make the free spin rather pointless though.

@Communists are Gross I suspect you are taking "free spinning" more literally than anyone else.

@@demomanchaos Unless I'm misrembering, the gun is always fully cocked when you unholster it.
