There should not be any NAMED real-world weapons.
Someone may look at a weapon and think "Huh, that looks sort of like an M-16" but it shouldn't be called an M-16.

None of the FNV weapons have real-world names, so I don't see how MCA's attitude to guns was any different then and now.

Gotta agree with you there. As much as we may argue (Me in particular) about the addition of real-world weapons. None of them have the designation that would actually make them real-world weapons. The Hi-Power is just the 9mm pistol, and the M4\AR-15 is just the assault carbine.

The tiny computer terminals annoy the hell out of me. I mean, it's not implausible that such technology existed in the Fallout canon, but they had better not be damned near everywhere like they were in Fallout 3.

What annoyed me about them is that half the time they don't require power. Finding one in a campsite that was last used just after the war and it still worked without power really hurt my brain.
So many were added because they didn't want either lockpick or computer to be the dominant way of opening stuff so there were tons of computers that just opened safes.

Actually that was Sawyer commenting on this statement by MCA:

(...)I do not think there should be real-world weapons.

In addition, the comments of both regarding super tech and various other things... now it's awesome design.

As for named real-world weapons: you may call a dog a hippopotamus but that does not make it any less of a dog and more of a hippo, nor does it conceal the fact that it's a dog.
