Gauss Cannon possibility

[Ediros]

So, after reading about Gauss weapons such as gauss rifle and minigun from classic games, I had this idea. Why not introduce a cannon version of it?

It would be the most powerful weapon in game, except debug weapons and would require a lot of work to find, but then? Oh, boy.

And my question is, would it be possible and how good would in be in Fallout universe?

 

[Kadscaner]

Mod it in or something. Hell, with the new creation club BS you could make a buck or two.

Sure it would be possible. Considering that they have man-portable versions that are immensely powerful it would only make sense that they'd have artillery-scale versions somewhere. I'm surprised the tanks in Fallout 4 don't have any, actually.

smoething like this ?

ps: for me the gauss rifle in stalker is more relevant that the one in "modern" fallout games due to the fat that he is an obvious reference to fallout 2

 

[Hassknecht]

Yeah, pretty much.

I actually like the design. Gauss cannons would have been cool, though.
Or maybe in the world of Fallout gauss weapons are a european/german thing and relatively uncommon in the US, where they prefer plasma weapons.

What about all the Gauss Pistols and Gauss Rifles in Fallout 2? I mean, we had them in previous games so... That said, it would have to be a prototype or some secret millitary project. I mean, not even the Enclave had something like this and I would rather not mess up the lore. Maybe some hidden facility in the divide or something? Would be nice.

The gauss weapons in Fallout 2 were stated to be of german design, so maybe only a few came to the US before the War, and no larger scale guns.
The MEC minigun in Tactics was chinese, but the canonicity of that game is debatable.
