Clearly Ian is a fan of fallout. He explained the games lore waaaay to confidently to just simply be casually reading a script. He was doing some deep dives with his explanations.
I wouldn´t be too sure of this.. Ian´s strength is getting a detailed introspective into relatively complicated matters in a rellatively short time... And he´s known to talk to people who know more about stuff than he does so yeah I think it´s entirely possible he never touched one of the games
As a Chinese, I can CONFIRM that the Type 93 rifle is absolutely legit and definitely not some April fools joke. I remember carrying them fighting in Alaska before the thermal nuclear war, it was a long time, a long time.
So let me get this straight Someone built a whole ass working Type 93 from Fallout 3 in real life. But Bathesda couldn't even be bothered to finish modeling one for Fallout 4?...
@@DIEGhostfish I don't think there really is a way to make a 7.62x39 magazine and rifle work in 5.56 without having to redesign a lot of things, so it most likely is just a 7.62 AK underneath. It should be noted that 7.62(x39) is an ammo type in Fallout 4, so I would assume the Chinese used it in their standard infantry Type 93s and Type 56s not being sent to spies in the US.
@@DIEGhostfish probably but we don't know much about Russia or the USSR in Fallout other than that they existed and apparently had a fairly decent relationship with the US.
Ah, a fellow ghoul are you? The smoothskin explained it well, I've seen plenty of these during my time in service when America still existed. I actually have one on the West Coast, they're way rarer in the NCR.
SEE, this is the kind of April Fools stuff everyone should live up to. Not just "Oh here's a thing SURPRISE it's not a thing, fuck you lmao, I'm so cool", but genuine effort into something a silly project for a one-off sort of thing. This is the cool shit I love to see.

@@akicauchemar7286 except in 1 and 2 they were never the genocidal pathetic maniacs Obsidian made them into in New Vegas. As much as I love this game, this one thing always bugged me.
Ian's absolutely normal delivery of all this 'info' has started to make me question his usual reviews...if he's this good at sounding authoritative reciting fictional future-history, who's to say he's not just making up ALL the info on his channel? Are there really even AK-47's? :)
Weapons technology stopped developing past the 19th century in reality and fully automatic weapons are just a hoax propagated to make the idea of war and revolution seem impractical and suicidal
See, now I want a Wasteland Codex style mod of just Ian giving the in-universe histories of the various weapons you pick up. I'd bet the FO4 Assault Rifle entry would be hilarious.
You wander the wasteland together with Ian in your Pip-boy. You have no grand objective, you just wander. And along your journey, you find two mercenaries by a campfire. One wearing a red beret and NCR jacket, the other wearing a ranger trenchcoat. Former watersmith and gunsmith respectively. Seems like the Gunsmith admires Ian on your pip-boy
I outright replaced that junk with Degenerate Daks M69 that redesigns it so it looks like the prototype M69 from Vietnam and cuts the weight down cause the default you can make HEAVIER THAN THE MINIGUN and its 30 pounds when you pick it up! Or i just replace it with the R91 & AK 2047 and the seen better days retextures or the AR-18 because that waste of steel is more of a eyesore than the pipe guns.
I can't believe i'm only seeing this now, a year after its release. this is genius. This Follower of the Apocalypse thanks you for your dedication to this history.
I'd love seeing a follow up contrasting the Wattz 2000 and the AER - 9 model laser rifles. I'm still convinced the Wattz is the superior for anti armor and long range uses, even though we only see AER's around these days.
God help us if certain questionable left-leaning movement arm themselves with these cuz China thought yeah let's make it more difficult for America let them fight themselves they do it just the slow us down.
Ian's ability to stay in character while talking about the different lore bits like the dates and the Chinese Invasion, puts a huge smile on my face! Especially that little BoS bit at the end! This truly made my day, thank you Ian! 😁😁
I legit felt the same. 4 minutes in I had to start the video all over again. My mind couldn't make sense of what he was saying cuz he was speaking so naturally about the lore as if it really happened. Hats off for Ian.
Yeah there was an April 1 video on a rock used as a primitive weapon a few years ago, and his dry delivery and immense amount of made up historical details had me going for a good couple of minutes into the video.
@sgfhk321 Nah, BOS has been known to work with wastelanders of particular skill in the past, and Ian is clearly one of the best weapon historians outside their own scribes (might even give them a run for their money, but I know what's good for me, so I didn't say it lol). Besides, while a fascinating pre-war design, the tech itself isn't anything special; the GRA boys out west are starting to put out gear as good or better than these things nowadays, so there's nothing the Brotherhood would really need to keep to themselves here. If Ian gets ahold of something a Wattz 2000, or, be still my heart, a P94, then I'd be worried about what he's getting into.
@sgfhk321 Surely Ian, more than anyone, could stand beside such giants as well. He's Gun Jesus, after all. Rumor is he's even immortal and has been cataloging weaponry since before the bombs; some kind of Ghoul without skin condition maybe?
The marking "五六式” has nothing to do with "type 56". This was a miss understanding in America. “五六” does indeed mean "56". However, “式” means "compatible". This rifle was designed for Chinese special ops to use behind enemy line(NATO area) where 5.56 ammo is widely available
I am not sure if your picking up on the fact that this video is in fact satire. The video game Fallout references are interlaced heavily within the video. I do appreciate your insights on the markings.
Oh my god, you just made me realize that Ian left a mistranslation in this video. Probably on purpose too. He really went all out on details to make it seem as real as possible.
@@Ovokor You realise that the OP falls in line with the notion that the main supply was from pre-chased weapons for Chinese infiltration units, right? ;)
Enjoying my video this morning on my pip boy with a fresh bowl of sugar bombs for breakfast 🥣. Appreciate you for making content for us vault dwellers!
It makes sense that Ian is reviewing this weapon after showing the earlier models of the current Gauss Rifle. Good thing we now use microfusion cells to power them
What I'd really like to see is his breakdown of the protoype Zhu-Rong Pistol. I'd love to see how that thing's barrel causes ammo to superheat to combustion!
I doubt he'll get one. Xuanlong Variant are more of an experimental attempt by the PLA to create an IAR (Infantry Automatic Rifle). It's essentially the same rifle but made with lighter materials, I presume bakelite nstead of wood and some kind of composite steel instead of regular steel, and have a more calibrated sights so one theoretically can use it with less amount of focus when, for example, using VaultTec Assisted Targeting Syatem implemented on a RobCo Pipboy. And thanks to the lighter material + better milled Magazine well, I hear you could fit the weapon with a special 36 rounds sized magazine without making it any heavier than a standard Type 93. Though All in all, that's just speculation. The Xuanlong Variant probably isn't real. But who knows, their Spec Ops "Hei Gui" Units are apparently real and do use special kind of Reflective Camouflage armored suit. We can only hope at least
I just love the idea of going into vault 34 (the one with the All-American) and finding an entire file cabinet full of holotapes like these, where a gun historian, with nothing left to do, attempting to document information on all of the different guns in the vault.
I'm fairly certain the Boomers would have taken copies with them in Nellis AFB after leaving. One could wonder if they'd allow access to it for people like the Gun Runners or caravans like the Crimson Caravan or Happy Trails
Ian is actually a great actor! I literally cannot tell the difference between Ian joking and being serious!! Voice tone, cadence, word choice, descriptive style: all identical!!
I just love how seriously he’s talking about this thing as if it were mass produced and not just the best custom job I’ve ever seen. Props to Ian and who ever was inspired to make a real Type 93 Chinese Assault for the best April Fools video today.
Oh for the love of God please post the build list. I recognize the Galil receiver and RPD handguard, was the top cover custom fabricated? this thing is so sick.

This is such a good video that it actually expands on the lore. It makes complete sense that this design would be scrapped in the 90s in favour of laser and plasma weapons then brought into production when those became unfeasible to produce
@@tamashi1094 I don't play the game but just looking at it, the receiver is canted at an angle on this one (as opposed as square and larger on the Bethesda one), and the stock has a thinner profile.
@@tamashi1094 Looking at the model on the fallout wiki it seems to me like this one has a longer receiver and a longer barrel. I suspect this rifle might originally have been a Galil that's been modified to look like a Type 93.
I wonder if it’s called the Type 93 because it entered service 93 years after 1949, putting its adoption at 2042. Definitely love this video about one of the best weapons in the Fallout series
Unless somebody finds some PLA documentation that explains it, I guess we'll never know. Of course, the Brotherhood could already know, but for some reason, Elder Alex might've decided to not tell Ian.
I'd wager one of the reason for the extra steel thickness was because the lack of materials need to make alloys and high quality steel. So instead they just added more of the steel they could produce in significant quantities.
Until it is demonstrated, one rarely sees the difference between a merely competent amateur and the very expert professional. Mr. McCollum, this is brilliant in all sorts of ways - an April Fool's custom designer dessert confection amidst a sea of April Fool's cheap hard candies. And just as tasty. I want one. Hell, I want a rack of 'em.
Fallout 1 and 2 had a ton of real weapons. There was the AUG, the FAL, the SAW, and a bunch more. The M16 is in Fallut New Vegas too. It just has wooden furniture.
I like that Ian's explanations of Fallout's Chinese Assault Rifle would fit almost perfectly with Fallout lore down to giving real world connections to why it looks the way it does.
As a Ranger, I came across several of these during my journey through the Capital Wasteland. Great durable guns so it is no surprise they are so beloved in that region. When I brought one back west, some of the other rangers were surprised to see one as we mostly have Soviet AK-112s in 5mm on the west coast.
Steel ammo casings? Not that it would matter in real life, the primers would be dead in a short time, exposed to world wide acid rain after the nuclear exchange.
At least You guys aren't stuck with rangemaster 14 chambered in 7.62x54 rim as we are here in Florida praise be the mouse. p.s the rangemaster 14 is a m14a2 built in the range master armory in free city of gainesville FL in fallout
Its funny how We were so worried about COMMUNISM, and the Chinese had to smuggle their rifles in, we just... happily bought the USSR's old suplus, and they were happy to sell it to us.
Shame Ian's not doing anything for April Fools, like reviewing a gun that doesn't exist. Ah well, would have been nice to listen to while scavenging for food from the bombed out houses...
Awesome holotape Ian, was so glad to have found this on the body of the raider I killed. Anyway, I would love to see you cover the venerable N99 10mm pistol at some point in the future. I had one for a while and found it to be a reliable (though perhaps a bit bulky) sidearm. Regardless, I'd love to see you cover that, or maybe one of those NCR service rifles one day!
Ian has always been the gold standard of gun tubers... the exact opposite of Demo Matt and his myriad personalities, created to express his suppressed urges. Ask Mere.
@@chpet1655 Several, to varying levels of quality. Personally 1, 2 & New Vegas were great, 3 is nostalgic for me, not good but has good parts, 4 plays well but is real shit, Brotherhood of Steel is shit and 76 is a travesty to a great series. At least it was last time I checked out anything Fallout after New Vegas
@@chpet1655 It's perhaps the definitive post-apocalyptic RPG, but yes it varies in quality and gameplay a lot sadly. Its influence on the games industry is hard to overstate though. The guy above me forgot about Fallout Tactics. It's a decent game with some quality of life improvements over FO2, but it is a bit unpolished and unbalanced. It's like Fallout meets X-COM.
Cool thing Ian, i actually found a type 93 myself not long ago, in some Diner near a Metro station. Mine had a personal marking on the receiver though: 玄龍 which translates to "black dragon". Thanks to your vid.. ehm holotapes, i learned how important gun preservation is, so i donated my type 93 to the Capitol Preservation Society.
I’m amazed how well you summarized the lore, especially for a joke April fools video, the gun itself looks beautiful, like someone ripped it out of fallout 3.
“Now this rifle was intended to be a long range sniper rifle, but whoever was given the task of designing the internals was given the wrong documents, and ended up making a light machine gun. The person who commissioned the weapon however, actually preferred what had been created by accident, and asked for the weapon to be built as an LMG. Once completed, it was given the name of Bozar, and sold at various Gun Runner storefronts”
I honestly just want a full series just like this exploring as many of the firearms of Fallout as possible. April Fool's Day aside, this is a great video and a fantastic concept for a series.
After having an absolutely terrible day, I can honestly say that this video was highly enjoyable and actually made me smile with how well it was done. I couldn't keep from laughing. Thanks Ian.
I was thinking I heard wrong when Ian said "mid 2020's" and then "2050-2070". Great one! Also nice thematic setup and visuals! What I'm thinking is how this was put together, all the mods.
Damn, I totally didn't realize that this is an April Fool's day video when I only see the thumbnail and the title, and I'm Chinese😂 Ian and his team did such a great job of custom making that rifle, I can see a lot of design elements of other Chinese service rifles like Type-56 and Type-81 put into the Type-93, so when I first read the title, I thought it's probably just a figurative way of saying that this rifle is design by Chinese weapon company to enter the American market. Until I started to watch the video, then I finally realized that it's for April Fool's day and I absolutely love it.
Props to an incredibly well researched video, I loved hearing the lore from the different locations in FO3, took me back to when I was playing that nonstop. Hearing it all come alive even if it's just an April Fools video, this is amazing stuff. Great work Ian, much love from a UK vault dweller
I'm surprised I didn't find any of these on the submarine "Yangtze" during my travels through the Commonwealth. I did find large numbers of "assault rifles" that were more like a lighter version of the standard Maxim-Browning system used during the Tropical Fruit Wars of 1915-1995, if my historical research is correct. I may have also found Benjamin Franklin's original .44 revolver while ducking Institute androids, or "synths" as they call them here. I'm still amazed how many Hessian Protectrons Franklin destroyed during the Revolution. Who knew that RobCo was using such an old design?
I never trusted RobCo. Their older models used to be adequate for home defense but they just cheaped out with the newer stuff. The securotrons were unreasonably heavy, buggy pieces of crap.
You know Ian for a ghoul I must say you have aged gracefully. Glad to see your still kicking after all these years. I loved watching your holotapes back before the war and I’m so happy you are continuing the series again. You’ve no idea how happy you’ve made this old wastelander
Me: Looks at Video, “this looks like the Chinese assault rifle From fallout.” Also Me: watches video… this is the Chinese Assault Rifle from fallout. Keep up the amazing content.
mine was more like "hey that kinda looks like the chinese assault rifle from fallout" "...and it has a similar name too" "...wait a minute... *wait a minute* "
The larger charging handle and mag release and the overall emphasis on sturdiness almost make me think these were designed with big, clumsy hands in mind. My fellow wastelanders, are the Chinese arming the muties?!
Wouldn't worry about the Chinese I think they're long gone into the glow of Atom. My guess would be that the Chinese just had really big hands. Heard they were just as dumb as well. Heck I've only seen muties with pipe rifles and hunting rifles with the trigger guard missing or ripped off.
@@Xictlii don't know if they're paid by China but I heard of a town far out west, next to the great water, that is full of off eyed people rumor have it their kin to the Chinese before 2077.
When you mentioned that the rifle was made during a period of resource scarcity and that the rifle had been enhanced for hand-to-hand fighting, I thought you would be discussing the venerable practice of using an empty rifle as a club.
@@debbiestimac5175 Well, in truth the Austrian STG-58 didn't have a bayonet lug, nor a bayonet, because the pronged flash suppressor acted as the bayonet, so next time.....
Ian you forgot to go into the reason for hand fighting becoming so important. At the time of it's development the American army began fielding power armor. The Chinese response was the begin using emp weapons on these armored soldiers who would then be mobed, it was found that the most effective way to destroy these units after they were disabled was to use a bayonet to jam up components and cut through the ballistic weave on the stomach.
Don"t wanna be too serious, but was not the conflict about oil reserves on the sea in the first place, since both China and USA have depleted their reserves elsewhere? ;)
@@PosranaRegistrace I checked the wiki and the official game guide states that the oil under the sea had a lot to do with the start the war, and that the oil in Alaska was a major strategic objective during the war as well.
Can't wait for a video on the U.S counterpart, the R91. Infact if Ian manages to get a hold of all the major arms of the resource wars that'd be awesome.
Might be redundant considering the R91 would literally be represented by an unmodified CETME C (visually), and the Service Rifle an AR15 with wooden furniture and maybe a side charger for good measure. Still would like to see it just for the meme.
Also the dart gun. I was never scared of Deathclaws after I got a dart gun. They're worth their weight in caps. More than their weight in caps, because they don't weight much.
@DIEGhostfish no, but neither is the one in this video, it's 7.62. The CETME is in 308, but if you wanted to be a real stickler you could hack a Frankenstein job with an HK53/93/C93 receiver and install a longer barrel, modify the handguard mountings to fit a G3 or CETME wooden one, and make custom 556 mags out of the CETME mags.
Yeah well I mean, actually reviewed as an in universe gun like this was xD just for the memes I actually thought of that G3 pattern rifle chambered in 5,56, I keep forgetting the name of, could be the R91.
Barely two minutes into this video and i already utterly love it. Great work for this particular day, Ian. The vault overseer should reward you handsomely.
I saw the image of the thumbnail and was like "hey wait, that's not a real thing... but why does it look so familiar??" Super, super, cool custom mod!!!
(cue heavy breathing from Brandon Herrera's fan base) "Look at that stamped Chinese Communist Star, the white paint stencil... the sheen on the custom fore-end furniture. Take my money Brandon! Do it! Doooooooooo! iiiiiiiiiitttt!" (Starsky and Hutch movie reference)
supposedly it increased ammunition capacity by half, though given it was not widespread clearly whomever came up with the workaround didn't get to produce terribly many before the bombs fell
Oh yeah you had to use the guide to get that one I remember but my God that is the gun that got me through the the chapter where The Enclave finally showed up that gun slaps.
What I find particularly interesting is that they seemed to be decades ahead of us when it comes to shooting technique and firearm design based around it. The front handguard has a cutout on top for a thumb, clearly meant for the c clamp grip.
Early PLA leadership are pretty much all guerrilla fighters who specialized in infantry raiding and infiltration, small firefights with grenades, dynamite, molotov cocktails, bayonets, sabers etc. were something extremely common for their mid-to-high ranks, so this makes sense
C clamp grip is great in movies and movies alone.. the fact is that they are decades behind the rest of the world and trying to play catch up as fast as possible
It's actually a neat coincidence. I think the fallout designers were modifying the aesthetic of Soviet LMG handguards. It looks like it's made to make a bayonet form more comfortable
did you guys even watch the vid? the grip was for ease of use when bayoneting someone. almost every aspect of this gun was designed with scarcity in mind. it looking "meant" for the c clamp grip is just coincidence.
As much as this was just for laughs, I'd love to see you do more rationalizations of firearms from alternate history settings. I like when a fictional weapon can feel real, like it wasn't just cooked up to look neat and given shortcomings just for in game balance; there's really something neat of having a short history on why a weapon is what it is, and why it has its foibles and features. Especially so with very oddball or kitbashed looking guns. Your channel is honestly great for inspiration on writing fictional guns; especially more oddball stuff that might only get adopted because the stars aligned and all the shortfalls of something weird ending up as a service weapon. I honestly doubt there's anyone else who digs up as many failed or forgotten firearms and gives their history and engineering; let alone shares it for free.
He has a couple more videos where he does something similar talking about the fictional nation of Elbonia to try and rationalize some horribly bubba-ed weapons.

I have been traveling the DC wastes with one of these beauties for years now. Came across it at the diner near Jury Street Metro Station. Interestingly mine has a capacity of 36 unsure of the history of why that is. Must be a prototype of some sort as it also seems to wear out much faster the the typical type 93. Could anyone possibly inform on my rifle’s variation?
That's probably an experimental Xuanlong variant. It's also a little more powerful than standard version. It's a very good idea to mod it with a laser sight and drum magazine. Xuanlong modified like that saved my ass many times. It could even stop a feral ghoul reaver by it's wall of lead.
@@krazownik3139 Thanks, for the info. All the merchants and scavengers that I have shown the rifle haven’t been able to help me. Also I’ll keep those modifications in mind. I just need to save up a bit more caps before I can afford them.
@@billbojoe1163 There's a chap in the general store at Point Lookout who can repair it to 100% - he seems to get better every time I visit him. Try and get hold of the stealth suit first, though, 'cause those swampfolk are surprisingly durable given that they're just wearing t-shirts.
Wanderer here, iiii think you might've stumbled on one of the rarer Type-93-B rifles, those were Type-93's that were upgraded by Chinese infiltrators once it became clear that they didn't have the time to smuggle more powerful ammo in, or more ammo in general, so they took their Type-93's and extended the magazines by 10, and there you go. Edit: The infiltrators referred to these rifles as Type 93 Xuanlong.
I swear I'm not making this up: I found a CUSTOM version of the Type 93 out in the Wasteland. I cant remember the name of the diner I found it in, but this model actually had magazines that carry more than THIRTY rounds.
It’s called the Xuanlong assault rifle, it’s a decent weapon For those who wish to find it in game: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ItSrOa5lvgE.html
