its a gun made out of rusted lead pipes, possibly THE WORST material to make a gun out of. it also has no furniture, so you would get your hands burned and/or get your fingers fucked up by cylinder gap.

>>
>>336188703
It's fine if the guns wouldn't actually work, that would be nitpicking, but they look so godawful and so incredibly unattached from any reality. The Fallout universe is not a universe where this would happen because save for the parts where they tell us their universe differs, we can reasonably expect that ours mirrors theirs. So when niggers are making full retard guns 200 years on when so many better options exist, you really do have to start asking questions.

Like seriously if you have the capabilities to manufacture these pipe weapons you could probably manufacture other weapons too, the whole idea is so dumb. It would be nice if at least there was some bandit "environmental storytelling" discussing the manufacture and trade of the guns but we get literally nothing.

This is depressing me so I'm going to stop but damn they made a lot of horrible design decisions about weapons and armor in this game. Especially legendaries, which are retarded. The only good thing about legendaries is my Explosive Pipe machine gun, with all automatic and explosive perks it destroys everything at level 60+ survival difficulty (launch survival I haven't played the game since november). Same with the spray and pray but I prefer the aesthetics of that particular pipe gun config.

The difference is that submachine gun was smartly designed for soldiers like the Airborne that needed easily portable and lightweight weapons. It did its job efficiently.

The abomination in the OP that was made by an "art" student that has no experience or knowledge in practical design is more likely to give you tetanus than fire a bullet.

Bethesda has a hard time designing anything that is actually functional.
>>
>>336187115
I presume they only have one "realistic" weapon designer and a couple other people for Energy weapons and such.

Also, I think it's fairly likely the "combat rifle" is not in fact, a pre-war relic, but rather something produced by raiders (in .45 AUTO) for close range combat.

They mostly seem to be using the variant without a stock and all the mods on survival mode.
>>
>>336187729

it's not so much that it wouldn't work, it's just that the stock/grip would be so fucking uncomfortable

>>336187115
The 10mm pistol suppressed noise is great.

>>336187554
Agreed, they should be viable designs.
>>
>>336188076
But it would work if there was spring tension trying to rotate the cylinder against that cylinder stop.

Would have to manually rotate the cylinder though, probably.
I doubt something that crude would have an arm to rotate it.

Manually placing loot takes too much time noob. Actually, giving different container types different loot tables takes too much time as well. Containers are either bad, normal or good loot drops, deal with it.

I still can't fucking stand the fact that Bethesda actively retconned all of the energy weapons into being gigantic clunky pieces of shit instead of mass produced consumer grade weaponry.

Then they come around with the Institute finally having some actual futuristic looking energy weapons that are completely inferior to weapons made 200 years ago.

You could just make different loot tables for different objects like another poster said. Different categories of containers with different tables.

One more thing, if open-bolt select-fire weapons were legal on the US market (or at least possible to make new transferable ones), you could go to a gun shop and buy a Sten Mk2 for like $250 or $300 when the Glock next to it is $500.

If the nation is strapped for cash, lots of shit like that would be floating around, not quite as shitty and crude as some of the pipe weapons in the game though.

Hell, applying some fucking spray paint to the fucking things would make it almost realistic.

>One more thing, if open-bolt select-fire weapons were legal on the US market (or at least possible to make new transferable ones), you could go to a gun shop and buy a Sten Mk2 for like $250 or $300 when the Glock next to it is $500.
see, that's the thing: if you can build a pipe gun, you probably have access to the materials you need to make a sten or an m3, which are much better weapons, at the very least because they're far less likely to blow up in your face

Atleast Bethesda doesn't randomly forget they're going for 50s retro-futurism and add guns like a fucking P90 to Fallout. Or an AR15 variant full of tacticool rails, or a Pancor Jackhammer, like we're playing Modern Warfare.

The Assault Rifle in FO4 looks out of place, but that's it.

Because Beth went full retard and dictated that time stopped in the 50's in Fallout 4. Even FO3 had AK variants at minimum.

Despite the fact that FO1 and 2 featured plenty of "modern" weaponry and 80's prototypes that never went into mass production in real life but were used in the Fallout universe such as H&K CAWS and Pancor Jackhammers.

They keep retconning and rewinding the clock in order to force their whacky 50's setting for branding purposes.

Is picking up weapons to get their entire magazine worth of ammo still a thing in Fallout 4 or was that patched out?

Because I don't think many people noticed, but if you actually pick up an enemy's weapon, you'll get the full magazine's worth of ammo from it. Those wiseguys in the vault, 50 .45 rounds each. It solves ALL of the problems people had with running out of ammo but I can't even tell if it was intentional.

It's also fucking retarded, if it is intentional or not.

yes the prewar segment. Fallout 4 places you in a 1950's household shielded from the outside world despite all the military leaks and many invasions shown in the original games.

>yes, and the game portrays this in plenty of places like, you know, fucking vaults
I'm talking about even before the war. Everyone looked pretty damn content with everything that was happening. Also vaults were advertised way before the bombs fell and should have been all booked. But for some convenient reason the vault opens on the same day as the bombing and there is room. What a coincidence!

>thrown into right at the beginning of the game
there was no warning of the bombing. most people should have died. Also somehow looking at the nuclear explosion doesn't make you blind? Okay.

>Nevermind, you're not an autist, you're just retarded
maybe you should read the timelines. That should help.
