Things we learned from Fallout 3

348: After the war, Springfield moved to the north of Arlington

349: The Apocalypse was not, as in common belief, a war with atomic bombs, but a tragic traffic accident leading to a fatal chain reaction. That explains the absence of bomb craters bar one, where a test subject failed to explode.

350: After the Chosen One defeated the Enclave's President on an oil rig in the Pacific, it turned out that there was another president in DC all along, and he was the real President! And he was a computer!

351: After the complete breakdown of society, after all technology has been destroyed and no fuel for any transport was available any more, a single Irishman can make the journey across the Atlantic Ocean, then travel upriver through mutant infested ruins, then travel inland until he finds the crater of an undetonated atomic bomb where some morons live who worship it, where he will settle down and open up a saloon (because pubs were what you did back home)

352: In the post-apocalyptic world, mankind has not bothered to rebuild society but discovered magic, which they solely use to enchant clothing.

353: A homemade weapon will get better and do more damage the more identical copies of its construction plan you possess

354: When you slip a live frag grenade into someone’s pocket, they will be able to tell it is there, but they won’t be able to find the pocket it is in before it explodes

355: Pressurized water pipes can be sealed using scrap metal without welding and without turning off the water

356: You can make napalm out of coke, soap and paint remover
 
357. Poisonous dart can destroy one's body completely when shot to steel-plate-armor, if you have an appropriate perk.
 
358. When attacking Liberty Prime, always attack from the front en masse with small arms; if you happen to find yourself in squadron of Vertibirds coming in from behind Prime please ensure that you either fly past attemping a shot or pose for Prime's laser blast Red Shirt style for the Lone Wanderer.

359. When posioning your enemies water supply with an engineered super-virus, please ensure that no named NPCs and quest-providers are affected, only un-named and previously un-seen 'patients'.
 
360. There are easily traversible piles of rubble everywhere, but climbing them would take effort so I'll just take the ghoul infested sewer.

Despite that the fallout world is based on the 1950's the leader of the slavers acts like an 80's pimp.

You mean, Jones? Well...
People like him existed before the 80's.
 
And the war didn't happen in 1050, there is no reason why the world would be completely frozen in that time, there were Hippies and pimps, and apparently even rock existed.

361. a person who spent the 19 years of his/her life in a confiend space shooting BBs at roaches is more than fit to go about killing yellow Hulks.
 
367. Shooting small nuclear warheads - yeah, it can happen.

One of the things I hated in New Vegas is that they had Fat Man in it too.
 
It's pretty hard to find though. And it's still not as bad as Fallout 3 with "Here random civilian, take this nuclear catapult."
 
I've literally never found it in NV. I've seen the mods, found a few mini nukes, but never actually seen the goddamned thing.
 
True, it's rare, though not unique. If they made Fat Man a unique weapon, like MIRV (MIRV gets scrapped, naturally), it could have been a good thing. Maybe not good, but certainly not that bad. But no...
 
370. Minigun bullets cannot penetrate shallow water.
PS:The Minigun is a 7.62 mm, multi-barrel heavy machine gun with a high rate of fire (2,000 to 6,000 rounds per minute)

Depending on your definition of "shallow," this one actually holds-- water is one of the best bullet sinks in the world, especially if you're at an angle to the shooter.
 
Additionally "minigun" can refer to (inaccurately, but it's not really relevant) to any sort of rotary cannon or 'gatling gun' (Gatling gun, again, meaning a more specific gun, but still used to referred to all guns of a similar style), which range from the M134 that LinkPain is referring to the 30mm GAU-8 Avenger that the A-10 was built around.

And yes, as Yamu put, water will ruin a bullet's day, the angle of the shot will only serve to ruin it faster or slower. Mythbusters did a whole episode on shooting into water. Nothing was moving past a foot into the water, tops.
 
Actually uh.....

Edit: Not exactly the same but I can still see what they were going for nevertheless.

Do you now?

The "Combat Shotgun" from FO3 was a fucking joke, should have used pretty much any other 'combat shotgun' whether mag or tube fed.

PS. (The AA-12 (the shotgun you linked) is a load of shit. Anybody actually adopted it yet? Exactly.)
