I really, really hope you're just referring to the 9mm revolvers not being "successful" and not .357 or .38. People in Europe, oddly enough, use 9mm revolvers frequently from what I know because that's, just sort of, the regional standard. Not everyone has to have a Glock with an 18 round...

Dust, sand, and large men with guns. You might want to lighten it up a bit. I know in the screenshot it's almost black on the sides but it's in the middle of the desert, with sun. - Colt

I created a different thread so we wouldn't keep derailing this one: Post-Apocalyptic Archery. To get back on track: I wouldn't mind being able to tell my squad what equipment to use and what kind of tactics but I don't want to spend 20 minutes micromanaging their goohuloog heads. In...

This thread spawned from the Worst Possible things for FO3? thread on the seventh page. To halt further derailment I think we should continue the discussion here about archery and it's implementation in Fallout. In reply to earlier posts in above linked thread... --- The lever-action...

A guess is all you're going to get. People here have played both of the first Fallout games over and over again and come to love certain aspects of each. Without doing the same to van Buren I don't think you're going to get anything but pure opinion. Most of what we have seen is the usual...

Why not? There are revolver that fire 9mm Parabellum. There's one revolver that fires everything from 9mm Parabellum to .357 Magnum. Do you think .357 Magnum is even that caliber? No. It's .38 There are semi-automatic pistols that fire .357 and .44 Magnum cartridges. - Colt

Pros: - Cheap - Reliable - Easily made from natural materials - Little skill to manufacture - Recoverable missiles Cons: - Bulky - Can be heavy - Need strength to cock - Slow to reload (some) - Single shot (most) - Longer ranges take progressively more skill I think even with...

Been spying on me have you? :P Repeating crossbows aren't pushing it really. The Chinese and Koreans have been making them for a thousand years or so. http://www.atarn.org/chinese/rept_xbow.htm http://www.koreanarchery.org/rcb/ I think I also know how to make a small and light...

Yes, I made the comment that it would be like two guns with one handle but I wasn't talking about this gun specifically. As I said, it would be large, awkward and complex. If that is a cylinder on this pistol then the entire thing won't work. Period. It's not a pump action pistol or a...

Not having makeshift weapons (spears made out of aluminum pipe, bayonets, etc.) and crossbows in the games irked me. You can have a lot of variation of design with just crossbows. Heavy crossbows, pistols, repeating crossbows. Of course there would be normal hunting bows as well. - Colt

As Rusty mentions, the RPK is actually the LMG version of the AK-47 that uses a Beta-C type drum magazine (or box magazines). The RPD is unrelated to the Kalashnikov system. - Colt

5.2 cm diamter seems a bit small for a cylinder holding 12 10mm cartridges. While they might all fit in that, you have to remember space between them for the actual chamber walls (and enough metal there so the gun won't explode) and the rid and spring system in the middle of the cylinder. There...

I think what you chaps are trying to describe is something like Chernobyl where the people just up and had to leave. In the game this would have been caused by people trying to leave the cities or get to the vaults or simply killed by the intense radiation and over pressure. As far as...

The name is fine, I'm just being nitpicky. Ask Ashmo. If i didn't know it used box magazines I would say a belt drum but it's a Beta-C magazine which means you have yourself a light machinegun that can borrow normal magazines from the riflemen. You might want to look at this for...

The 10mm cartridge was probably chosen because 9mm Parabellum has traditionally been the European round for 100+ years now even in the face of ineffective stopping power. Honestly, they should have just went with .45 ACP but since almost none of the guns in the game are directly based on real...

The gas piston being under the barrel wouldn't work very well, it complicates things. That's why the StG 44 and AK-47 both had them on top and even the M16 eventually changed the gas tube to feed from the top. It can be done though so you shouldn't change your whole gun around for it. The...

I think going out and blowing cats away is really stupid but if there are ones hanging around killing birds and attacking other animals, then you should get rid of them, obviously. They have the same problem with rabbits in Australia and New Zealand eating crops. It's better than leaving poison...

Geh. The original article is so biased it isn't funny "Even after the G.A.O.'s disturbing revelations, the Senate has continued its work on a dangerous bill to insulate manufacturers and sellers from liability when guns harm people." Uh, yeah, dangerous bill that stops idiots from...

Indeed, the "AK-112" in the game seemingly has nothing to do with the real rifles... At all. If anything, it looks like a boxy FAL clone. I wouldn't try to find a logical reason behind its design, they probably just didn't want an AK-47 in the game which would make more sense than this thing. - Cot

Thanks for the replies. For some reason I forgot to mention in the original post... these were both drawn with pen and ink (an inkwell) and obviously a chisel-tip Sharpie on the one for the background. There are backgrounds available for both: Here and here and colored version (less bright)...
