I have noticed that in Fallout 2 , we don't see any FN weapons.Why aren't guns like the FN M2 0.5 caliber machine gun or the M240G or M249 Section Automatic Weapon, instead we have guns like FN Fal and AK-112. I mean, okay, they may be 20th-21st century guns but I don't think the US Army would be using FN rifles or AK rifles. FN heavy weapons maybe, but rifles? No way.
The three FN MGs I mentioned may seem more realistic. Could we have more accuracy concerning weapon makes next time alright.Oh yes....WHY ISN"T THERE A M16A2 or M203 in the game. We should also have these in FO3.Perhaps your character could be sent on a quest to find a hidden cache of the abovementioned form a Marine base or something.....Y'know what I mean..

Maybe because Fallout is based in 22nd century? Personally, after seeing only 2 real weapons in Fallout 1 (Desert Eagle and Mauser 9mm), I have no idea why the hell did Feargus put so many 20 century weapons in Fallout 2. Of course, you are all entitled to your opinions.

More than just two... M60 and Thomspon SMG "Tommy Gun" are very real. There were others...

10mm Pistol should have been replaced with a zip gun...I think they originally had plans to...anyway...I'm working on the mod for a zip gun ;)
 
In the wasteland, there are so many different guns from "the War" that I think we should just generalize, eg sniper riffle, assault riffle, etc. There is going to be thousands of different models that no one can list them all.

Fabrique Nationale (FN) is Belgian and Kalashnikov (K of AK) is Russian. War time a government would only contract manufacturers of its own country for equipment. I believe Colt and Browning would be 2 major US mfg for small arms.

M16A2 is an assault riffle, thus it's generalized in FO2 as an "assault riffle". M203 grenade launcher did not make any appearance in FO2. As for the machine guns you mentioned, I guess they made Light Support Weapon a substitute.
 
I wonder, why would they not put a lot of real guns in fallout...
Perhaps because they try to give it more of a comic book atmosphere as possible duh!

Do you expect to see in a comic book, Dr. McEvils men firing at Gnu man, and gnu man shouts out:

"Oh No! they are attacking me with M1 Carbine assult rifles equiped with zoom scopes and silencers, possibly stolen from a military base since they are standard issue military weapons!"

no

People want to see McEvils men shoot rifles that don't exist at gnuman
and have gnuman say
"Oh no!"
