What weapon do you think fallout is missing the most?

SuAside
3) why would you want a .22 if 10mm pistols are already pretty dang weak. besides, there is the red rider LE BB gun (which rocks ballz & ownz ass).

Pro's

.22 LR causes more deaths in the US yearly, than the .40 Cal could ever hope to. .22's are actually VERY deadly; simply bechause of their lack of power. Once penetrated a hostile; the slug dosent have enough power to over-penetrate; and it bounces around, cutting said hostiles intrails to shit.



.22 LR firing weapons are generally more accurate than .40 Cal

.22 LR are MUCH, MUCH more common than .40 cal in the US.

.22 LR Simi-automatic rifles can easily be modified to fire fully automatic.

.22 LR Rifle mags range anywhere from 5-100+ rounds

.22 LR semiautomatics can be outfitted with an adjitator.

Con's

.22 LR has little to no anti-armor properties (Can be stopped by thick clothing, in some cases)

.22 LR loses effectiveness after about 100 yards, though can travel over a mile


Over all, however; the .22 LR would be used as a hunting weapon in the universe of FALLOUT, being used to pop small critters for sustenance

Though the slug loses effectiveness after about 100 yards, a sharp-eyed-shooter can hit a cardoor from 150+ yards.
 
it isn't about 'real life' Stompie... maybe you missed the part in which fallout was an alternate past/future.

remember that .223 seems to be the standard hunting bullet? not quite like real life ;)

as said before:
10mm seems to be the standard pistol cartridge, it's FO's 9mm (for EU) / .45 (for US). that bullet is pretty weak in the game. why add .22 and be even weaker? a .22 adds nothing to the game.
 
however true this is; Do most of the weapons really add anything to the game? A .22 would be useful against lightly, or unarmored foes. Essentially, Fallout could still be fallout with five or six weapons. Knife, Pistol, SMG, Rifle, HMG, Energy weapon. Just wouldn't be as cool. Their are quite a few weapons in the universe of fallout that have no real pro's or con's, that find themselves being outgunned by their original, much more common counterpart.

... Anyhow, Its just point of view, SuAside. It would be just a tool; being used to pump a few much needed holes in a raider's stomach. Its not as if the weapons make the game (Well - Not for me anyhow.)

The funny thing is; the American government is trying to standardize the .40 cal bullet for the Police, from the 9x19 Para bellum, or .45 ACP (Or old .38 in some departments) the standards might not be too far off
 
The most overlooked weapons in the Fallout universe would have to be: 1-Modern hunting bow, 2-Blowgun and poison darts
 
Since Fallout takes place in the US, I'd say the AR-15 family of rifles and carbines (even if they were obsolete in the mid-21st century, there would still be a shit load of them around because of civilian ownership and military surplus, ect.). Long live the black rifle.

Especially more .45s because of popularity in the US. Not to mention the .45 is a great round, much better than the stupid 9mm. And I assume in the Fallout universe, most .40 cal pistols were simply replaced with 10mm since the 10mm is basically a .40 cal on steroids (higher velocity, greater penetration, better overall ballistically).
 
The needler gun based on the one in F.E.A.R. but it would need the name "dildo gun" since the needles you fire are much like dildo's
