Fallout 2 - Item evaluation

[kicker04]

Hi there!

When I'm bartering with a merchant is there a way to see what AC an armor gives me respectively how much damage a guns makes BEFORE actually buying it?

Thanks for help!

Not that I know of. But as a general rule: Leather, metal, combat, power. Mk1 < Mk2.

With armors, it really makes simple logical sense.
(That is, the AC may go up and down, I think Metal armor has less AC than leather, but it still offers more physical protection)
With the guns I guess you are simply forced to check them out once you have them in your posession.
