is the fallout 4 pipe guns buildable? like to a degree where they can fire ammo efficiently
Why the fuck would you want to build one of those ugly abominations?
>>29285593
OP must be a poorfag
People in third world shitholes and broke gang bangers have been making them for years. Just not exactly safe.
as a prop sure
as a working gun hell no unless it was a singleshot 22 shoved in there

Welcome to Bethesda.
>>29285626
>>29285593
i thought this was /k/, a place where gun enthusiasts dwell, not "i only like expensive stuff because its shiny" club.
>>29285385
Yes you can build those efficient, reliable pipe bombs.
>>29285680
>i thought this was /k/, a place where gun enthusiasts dwell
It is, but we're not all as retarded as Royal Nonesuch with making pipe guns and using earbuds for ear protection.
Can't quite rifle pipe
>>29285679
Obsidian save us from this hell.
>>29285385
Yes, it can and has been done. It is called the STEN SMG.
>faullout 4 has pipe guns
>but no pipe shotgun
>>29285727
The Sten was made in factories. You're thinking of the Luty smg.
>>29285679
It is a civilian shotgun re-purposed for the resource war. They were made with war time needs in mind, rather than getting new manufacturing technology a magazine was built to be attached to the feeder tube. It is a magazine feeding a tube.
>>29285728
Absolutely. If anyone is going to make something out of pipe it would be a low pressure 20 gauge.
>>29285728
mod fixes that
fallout 2 has pancor jackhammers fallout 3 has ppsh shotguns with drums that don't connect to the chamber
>>29285728
>expecting bethesda devs to know that shotgun ammo operates at lower pressures than rifle ammo
This is the company that does the least amount of work possible. They probably think that shotgun ammo would blow up the pipe because it's so powerful.
>>29285741
The original STEN tubes were made out of steel 1.5 inch plumbing pipes
>>29285728
As always, the modding community has to make up for Bethesda's incredible incompetence when it comes to firearms. And gameplay balance. And textures. And armor design. And the ui. And general performance. And pretty much everything else that I can't think of right now.

>>29285793
Bethesda, thinking anyone could wield a 3 gauge shotgun. Right arm crippled.
>>29285663
Krag or Johnson type magazine.
>>29285593
Does anyone make a .50 beo upper with a fixed carry handle?
>>29285835
>not killing people with a double barrel 2 bore rifle
Look at this baby man.
>>29285858
I'm sure someone has. Just got to look harder. Or someone with advanced milling skill.
>>29285850
Yeah, but the rifle looks like it's straight blowback. I guess there could be a lifter or something, but that just makes it more complex with no benefit.
>>29285745
It doesn't make any sense. You can't just have a tube spring like you would in a pump action shotgun because the spring would overtake the entrance of the magazine by the second shot.
You would have a spring in the magazine driving the shells upward, a piston under the barrel feeding the shells towards the rear, counteracted by a recoil spring located...somewhere. Because the magazine tube is inline with the piston, the shells themselves have to act as the rest of the rod. Somewhere under the action you have to have either another spring or a lever actuated by the piston to feed into the chamber. There is nowhere for a bolt to go rearwards, so I presume it has a fixed firing pin and has to extract by moving forward perhaps collapsing over the barrel, but what moves the chamber/bolt forward to perform the extraction?
Why would you even want such a design? Why would you put the weight of the magazine so far forward and make it so complicated?
>>29285966
I don't think anyone at Bethesda actually looked at a gun during the development of either Fallout 3 or 4.
>>29285691
pipe guns are beautiful things... they wont last long, they have low accuracy and are dangerous to use, but they go Boom and thats enough for me to love them.
Also, you can actually build them right so that they wont be an unreliable piece of crap, where you aware of that? if you dont have the skills it doesnt mean someone else cant do it.
>>29286019
Fallout is retro future and raygun gothic.
>>29286036
>if you dont have the skills
And what tools would be needed for something like OP's?
I actually like the combat rifle in fallout 4, it reminds me of a BAR
>>29286058
well high quality metal, and metallurgy would be incredibly useful.
>>29286058
With a dremel and a welder anything is possible
>>29286019
Oh they looked at guns. They googled "machine gun" and photoshopped it into that unholy amalgamation.
Try to see how many machine gun parts are in it.
>Lewis gun barrel shroud
>FG-42 magazine
>Minimi hand guard
>>29286056
So why don't they just use 50's guns.
>>29285793
What does Bethesda actually do again besides provide expensive placeholders?
>>29286126
liscensing fees probably, and they figure they can just make what ever without taking functionality into thought
>>29286019
>We mainly want something that would look right in power armor's oversize hands
>>29286196
I bet they made it mag fed because they didn't know how to do belt fed animations.
>>29286145
They don't shit on their modding community. So I guess there's that. Despite how idiotic most of the people and factions in the Commonwealth are, the setting is pretty interesting. They also seem to take their time filling it with interesting knick knacks and other random miscellaneous shit.
Still doesn't make up for shitty optimization, a shit story, and lack of core rpg principles.
>>29286207

Please stop this meme.
Especially when the guns are all fucking sixty years old.
>>29285745
>>29285679
Wait. I had an idea. That tube ahead of the drum magazine, is that recoil operated to force a round down the feed tube with each shot? That's a semi plausible action, at least for a video game gun.
>>29286241
>The NPCs respond the same way regardless of which you pick
I personally like how since bethesda took over fallout the concept of people rebuilding has just gone out the window. There's no new construction, just people living in ruins.
>>29285745
That doesn't work because there's no way to force the shell down the tube after it comes out of the drum.
Putting the drum in back actually works.
>>29286367
ackchyually what they do in Fallout 4 is build completely new ruins.
Well you do anyway with the town building part of the game.

MGSV went with frankenguns to force gun customization.
Nowhere anywhere is there any amount of information on licensing fees for firearms.
MGS4 used IRL weapons without company names and got out just fine.
>>29286405
Not him but you're retarded. Show me where Kojima paid fees to HK, Raytheon, or General Dynamics for the weapons of MGS, or Colt Defense, Kalashnikov Concern, Armalite, Česká zbrojovka or Smith & Wesson for the weapons used in MGS3. I'll wait.

Northwest would be cool
>>29286126
Because the Fallout takes places 200ish years after a nuclear war that takes place in 2077.
>why not use guns post 50s then?
Alternate universe that had MANY differences in technology development, some more advanced than ours, others far more primitive.
But all the gun designs themselves are shit because game devs are typically liberals, and liberals can't guns.
>>29286736
Northwest or Midwest are pretty likely if Obsidian makes another also maybe gulf coast if they want to do something different.
>>29286594
I would love to see one in the more northern places of the us. Just imagine the radioactive snow storms.
>>29286780
Fallout tactics take place in the midwest
>>29286786
Yes but we are left with a question of how much of it is canon.
>>29286763
>>why not use guns post 50s then?
They do though?
At least the first two.
And F3 and NV was pretty much entirely 50's and older guns.
>>29286763
You're thinking of Bethesda Fallout. Fallout 2 had G11s and Pancor Jackhammers and Plasma pistols made by Glock.
>>29286803
>>29286809
I did forget about those firearms, but many IRL guns made post 1962 (Around the time the fallout timeline differs from ours) are very few, such as glock making plasma pistols.
>Polymer gun
>Plasma
Yea no
>>29286823
To be fair, go back far enough and people would say
>Any gun
>Plastic
>>29286838
I can show you what would happen
Step 1: Grab Lego
Step 2: Throw Lego into fire
Step 3: ??????
Step 4: PROFIT!
>>29286853
B-b-but in X-Men they had miniguns made out of polymer, even the barrels!
>>29286866
theres a porno with guns in them? Link?
>>29286823
The Glock 86 looks like it's made out of mostly metal. Maybe that weird handguard thing is plastic.
>>29286019
this pissed me off because having actual Lewis Guns and FG-42 in the game would be awesome, and it could fit. Hell, make em both in .308 and say it's captured Chinese surplus that was rechambered for American shooters. But this shit is just stupid. And while they were busy making the Brotherhood of Steel, they should have tossed a chopped down magazine-fed shotgun with explosive slugs that can be fired one-handed in power armor. And the laser rifles need an under barrel grenade launcher. Oh and reskin the hunting rifle as a mix of mausers, nagants and enfields with same explanation as the Lewis guns and FG-42. So many little things would make it so much better.
>>29286987
FG 42 would have been awesome. They could have but in some wasteland nazis like in Metro that came for a Nazi themed Vault experiment even.

>>29285679
so basically this?
>>29287596

>>29287625
Raygun Gothic?! Atompunk?! Wtf?
.....tell me more, desu.
>>29287625
>>29287660
Raygun Gothic is a term William Gibson used for the art-deco meets futurism stuff you'd see. The rocket age shit that was intended to be futuristic then but now it's all run down motels in the desert where it looks like dreams of a future that never happens.
>>29287687
Ah, basically a "Fallout" theme/design. Ok, thanks.

That was retarded. Magneto controls magnetism, somjust don't use steel or nickel (I don't think cobalt has combat applications) and you're good to go with your guns. He shouldn't be able to stop bullets either, since those are lead.
>>29287730
Google it faggot.
There was a lot of shit thanks to that.
>>29287757
I figured Magneto's power was more being able to control any metal, and since it resembled magnetic forces that's the name he got stuck with.
I don't think adamantium was ferromagnetic, either.
>>29285647
Actually, that prop is the bolt action varient. The semiauto and full auto versions have a side loading magazine similar to a Sten.

>>29287620
That isn't drum. It's helical magazine.
>>29288091
Yes, but I meant that they worked in principle the same way, as an extension to the shotgun tube.
>>29285647
That from Taurus
>>29287986
Don't have the post but I have a a webm of it firing.
Looks like the pins on the magazine move the bullets into place.
>>29288489
good observation, that would probably be a shitty design though
>>29288515
Yea, it is. That's kinda the point.
>>29286460
What the fuck is a bline? Do you mean a bee-line?
>>29286417
You mad righty?
>>29286019
If you look at the archives for the gun it is labeled as a light machine gun. Why they didnt call it that I dont know
>>29288441
but the overall length of the magazine is too short for the springs to work like the Helical Tube mod for the Benelli Uncle Jerry used...
>>29288555
Because they never finished the actual assault rifle in the game files, got lazy and renamed it.
Not kidding, there's abandoned assault rifle files in the game data IIRC
>>29288489
Ah, neat!
>>29285785
That's just the receiver not the barrel. Plus their pipes were probably a hell of a lot stronger than they are now.
>>29286798
Bethesda says 100% and a line about the brotherhood building other airships in Fo4 confirms. Plus I think a line about Chicago in NV does too.
>>29288606
also that barrett .50 arrowhead muzzle brake...
God, New Vegas was so much better than 4. Pls Beth, give Obsidian a shot at making a game in the new engine.

I felt that a LOT of the fallout 3 weapons could have returned. Also I think that the power armor assault rifle thing is an excuse for a dumb redesign. All of the other guns can be used in power armor no problem. Also fallout has had large scale LMG's before such as the M60, and I see no reason why it couldn't have used instead.

So Bolters, right? That's basically what you just described.
>>29291705
yeah I meant to say while they were busy making the Brotherhood of Steel similar to space marines "purging" shit in the Commonwealth. They should've gone all out and given em bolters. The rippers could stand to be more chainsword-like.
>>29285385
You're gonna have to try and build one yourself if you want to know, since no one else is in the mood to try...
>>29286589
The charging handle has nothing to do with the actual bolt.
>Combat Rifle was changed to .45 by default at the last minute.
Did they not fucking realize they already had an automatic weapon in .45 ACP?
>Pipe bolt-action and revolver were also supposed to be .38 by default, just like the normal pipe gun.
Did they not want the player to have as many options as possible coming out of the Vault? That's pretty hypocritical.
Has anyone else noticed this and brought up the issue with the studio? I bet they just denied they made any sort of mistake, when there's clearly a lack of communication between their modelers, designers and coders.
>>29292153
Any criticism of their designs is met with "lol its a vidya game :^)"
>>29292153

>well high quality metal
>and metallurgy
Yes, I will go to the hardware store to pick up some "metallurgy."
No, you don't even need "high quality metal" or whatever the fuck that is, every metal you have access to now has a certain threshold of purity or else it wouldn't sell. Rod stock (steel, of course) from the hardware store is perfectly fine for every single small arms caliber imaginable, hell, you can even get a big fucking billet and bore it through if you want a .50BMG rifle. Things get even easier once you figure out that a shitty Chinese-made press can be used to stamp sheet metal into basic shapes with a simple die, stamped metal receivers are just easier to work with if you can spot weld (easiest type of welding) and you can make a lighter gun. Worried about pressure? Use thicker metal, use powerful bottle jack.
Most of what's shown in Fallout 4 is essentially Bethesda devs being fucking retarded and not realizing that there's a whole wide world of possibilities. They already feature working machine tools, so clearly some fucking faction should have figured out that "hey we can go to the old Corvega factory and start producing guns."
That reminds me of another thing: everyone at Bethesda is either too stupid or too lazy to switch to an engine that isn't a piece of shit. They've kept the same engine since Morrowind and either had neither the willpower nor the ability to port over spears from that into Oblivion or Skyrim. Oh and it's not hard either, the animation files are the problem but TESC isn't the same kit the devs use so modders can't do it so easily; they certainly don't want modders making them look like incompetent shitheads especially after Todd fucking Howard said it was impossible. That's why we will never, ever see another Fallout: New Vegas because it showed the world how shitty Bethesda is at making Bethesda games.
>>29286823
The timeline splits well before 1962.
>>29293320
Oh lmao I forgot to include why that Corvega thing pisses me off.
Yeah, the original Fallout 3 was supposed to feature a LOT of vehicles. Shit like actual functioning cars, Caesar's Legion having animal-drawn chariots made from truck cabs and shit like that but Bethesda took over. What we got was Fallout 3: a cramped, crowded world that was essentially a total conversion mod for Oblivion. Seriously. That's ALL it is, IIRC they even reused some assets from Oblivion because apparently being original is hard.
So what do we have now? In Fallout 4? We have "functioning" vehicles but they're a lot like Skyrim's dragons in that they're just a theme park ride. We should have far more than that. Remember the Dragonborn DLC? Oh yeah, riding dragons! Turns out if you pull up the editor the dragons have fixed paths, "rails" that they can't deviate from and this is glaringly obvious if you fly around on a dragon's back.
Why?
They're too lazy to advance beyond the same engine, they do the absolute bare minimum and then shit out a broken, buggy game that has half-baked features and glaring inconsistencies. Peter Molyneux has been turned into a pariah for doing this same exact shit, EA has been criticized to hell and back for repackaging the same shit. These things that make people swear up and down they will never, ever buy those games are EXACTLY what Todd Howard and Bethesda does. Todd recently got a lifetime achievement award while people are still praising RPS for crucifying Peter Molyneux until the man started to literally cry, calling it "hard-hitting video game journalism," whatever the fuck that is. I don't see RPS or anyone else going "hey Bethesda, when are you going to pay modders for unfucking every game you've released after Morrowind?"
No, instead Bethesda's trying to con MORE money out of the players by having "paid mods." Modders would have gotten, what, 10% of that money? For doing 99% of the work? Nice. Real nice.
>>29293320
>>29293489
Got a lot of wrath in you boy
I like that.
>>29293489

fucking bethcucks and thier halfassed difficulty scaling. All they had to do is take a feather from obsidians hat and remove all the damn level scaling and do what their fluff already said: shit gets harder the farther south you go. Instead they make everythings spawns and gear level dependant and just gave raiders with pipe pistols 500 health in the SE of the map at lv50+ instead of not having raiders with pipe pistols in a high level area.
>>29293552
hey, at least modders pre creation kit have already unfucked the core game. Pic related: my guy with a personal jetpack, carbon fiber BoS combat armor, with an exoskeleton frame W/ T45 arms rigged to it
Only problem with FO4 now is the linear mainquest being necessary to advance the story; all they had to do is "skyrim with guns" but they fucked it up with the lol1town, mass effect wheel, and "lel what do u mean the mainquest of FO3 is the worst part of the game, lets copy ourselves for FO4!" bullshit.
>>29293537
>obsidian
>ever touching another fallout

obsidian got it right; FO needs to be a universe your character lives in, not one he walks through/ is the jesus messiah of. You can play the entirety of NV without ever touching the main quest.
>>29293604
You're thinking new Vegas, which was done by Obsidian, much better game.
>>29285385
the Bethesda devs missed the point of pipeguns, in game some are actually good, and in the case of the pipe revolver it out damages the normal .44, in real life they're dog shit made in desperate times and aren't meant to last, and will probably kill the user .
>>29298839
with a black reskin the pipe guns don't look so dogshit, but the pipe revolver is probably the most useless weapon in the game due to recoil and fire rate. Once again, all they had to do was make the pipe guns Lutys with a rifle/pistol stock, long and short barrels, extendo clipz, and a improvised silencer made out of a purified water can or something. Have the pipe rifle be an improvised break action or even a screw on barrel that hits way above it's weight class but has a dogshit reload time.

Lethal loads for it are no hotter than 12ga 3" shells.
And they don't kick too much considering how heavy the KS-23 is.

bayou voodoo worshiping ghouls that command packs of ferals, RadGators, Airboat travel, city in the superdome, faction based in a walled off french quarter of new orleans, old south plantation faction/group of aristocratic inbreds, a plot to flood the city with radioactive water to turn the filthy normies into immortal ghouls like the bayou negroes/develop a bioweapon to cure, "cure"(with death) or exterminate all the ghouls. Also the BoS on an offshore oil rig with coastguard cutters for transport.

And don't forget the swamp people from fallout 3!

Get a load of this guy. He didn't get the mod that let's you recruit Graham and travel across the wasteland doing God's work with scripture in one hand and a .45 in the other.

Man, I didn't even know I wanted the swamp setting until I played Point Lookout in FO3. On location alone it was my absolute favorite of all the addons. Hell, it was my favorite part of that game in its entirety. Just something about it felt, I dunno, almost comfy in a way.
>tfw you will never go around shooting mutant swamp people with a sick lever action rifle and drinking moonshine in the post apocalypse.

You know its bad when he likes "pirate everything and deal with slavs" STALKER more than the fallout community.
>>29292153
Turns out you can cut the shoulder off a .308 or 30-06 and fit a .45 bullet in there. That fact is what I keep telling myself every time I see that.

Man, I used to love this comic.
I'm not caught up on it.
I met the creator by accident once. I was walking around a convention and I saw a bunch of RA posters around one booth and I mentioned to my friend that I love Romantically Apocalyptic and the guy at the booth turned out to be Vasily and he just said "Thanks, I created it". He signed my mug.
>>29301561
Yeah, me neither. The last time I read it was over 2 years ago. The series was just getting too weird.
>>29286241
This picture pretty much has happened in YouTube, instead of 5 star system it's just le upboat or downboat.

bullshit, they make steel slugs for it designed to fuck up an engine block at 100m

Magneto's magnetism doesn't work like real life magnetism. It's open season on anything vaguely metalish.
>>29288091
No, it's multiple tubes and it rotates to the next one each time a tube empties.
>>29301376
I'm sorry my /k/omrad, but if it makes you feel any better I've been a Bethesda supporter since TES: Arena and it breaks my heart to see them turn into this.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt for Oblivion, mostly, but FO3? Skyrim? Yeah, they received no pass from me and Fallout 4 was finally the last straw. Consider me "redpilled" about all this.
Also I was warned for this post? "Posting dubs/numbers GET?"
What in the fuck?
>>29289878
I think they could have added it as a new weapon without taking out old ones. Like a specialist rifle for the power armor troop because they were treated as super special, but they took out weapons from 3 and new vegas like the Sniper rifle, the service rifle and assault carbine, the assault rifle, the marksmen carbine, and the SMGs that all made pretenses to being military issue.
>>29286383
It's not that hard, guys. It would use plastic shells too large to leave the tube like a beta mag.
>>29287061
Already uninstalled the waste of money. If the GECK comes out soonish, and someone can make a fantastic mod, I may reinstall.
But for right now, fuck Bethesda.
>>29301493

>minigun
>belt fed
lolno, the reload animation shows some kind of open magazine/clip being replaced. The belt is just there for show and never even moves. It clearly never contains any ammo, even while firing.
>>29303182
No, as in once it stripped the first round, you'd have a piston blocking the next round from feeding.

Forgive the origin.

I meant the storyline you wrote out....
This is worrysome. I got a nerdboner reading the article while completely ignoring the fanart...
I feel like that guy who had sex with his gf but was thinking about his M1.
>>29303966
I didn't write it, but I felt similarly. New Orleans would've been a far more interesting setting.
Once GECK drops, someone go bug the Project Brazil guys.

After L4D2's New Orleans chapter, I'm down for a Fallout set down there.
>>29286736
there was already a midwest and texas one so i think northwest is next for sure
>>29306891
Texas one is non cannon and the midwest is only partially cannon. Just for the record.

>repeat
>could kinda work, but is over engineered as fuck
>lolno it has a 50 round mag of rimless high pressure pistol ammo OR NECKED FUCKING RIFLE AMMO and is semi auto
all they needed to do was make a 10mm, .45, .38, and "shotty booletz" slambang for the "rifle" and a Luty, grease gun, sten, or fallout amalgamation of the 3 for the "pistol"/subgun
>>29288091
Just no.
>>29308764
considering the player character literally walks out of the vault with a weapon superior to all the pipe weapons, they sure put a lot of work into making the gun people don't even pick up to sell (because the weight to caps ratio is dogshit for everything but scrap, food, and ammo) let alone equip.
why didn't the tards at bethesda simply type "improvised firearms" into google like they did "machinegun" to make the lewis-maxim brand 30lb assault rifle? Between the dozens of mexican .22 subguns, lutys, and slambangs they'd see they should have been able to cobble together a few weapon models that weren't "make it gun shaped, but shitty looking!"
For so much effort and so much standardization of pipe weapons across the commonwealth, the raiders/poorfags should be cranking out prewar sheet metal subguns and slambangs. Instead we got what we got. Millennium we need you to unfuck this.
>>29286521
Really? Because I "kinda remember" Remington sucking some major dick to get the Remington logos made massive and placed right next to the players faces in mw3
>>29286594
Arkansas. I want people to complain
>>29308799
What the hell is that? A 40mm pipegun?
>>29309392
37mm "flare" launcher because the ATF know you touch yourself at night. But yeah; trigger drops a "safety" that lets you slambang the flare onto a fixed firing pin.
>>29287554
Whats This called and why isnt someone making clones
>>29309481
sterling 7.62
.308 lever delayed blowback machinegun/battle rifle
also it's open bolt and the ATF hates nice things.
>>29285593
while i agree a pipe gun would be extremely useful if you're a vigilantly if you catch my drift.
>>29309500
We need a closed bolt 300 blk variant
>>29288489
wouldnt it make more sense for the 'pins' (bent sheet steel) be just holding the cartages in place.
the movement of the magazine would have to be from a lug moving backwards and fowards.
>>29289377
Say that again, I dare ya
>>29309527
There was a /k/ member who was designing an open source tube gun like that. Sadly progress has stalled and it likely wont be finished.
