Residential Zealous Evolved Nano Organism
Listing a couple here to start the thread, as the caught my eye the most.
Firstly, the Gatling gun.
Firstly the weapon would be exceedingly rare even unmodified for human use, the fact that enemies randomly spawn with this thing is ridiculous. It'd be like multiple of Lincolns Repeater spawning in FO3.
Secondly the bullets it fires, historically they fired all kinds of munitions but they sure as hell didn't fire the fictional Fallout 5mm round, meaning this was a custom retooling of several barrels and internal mechanisms, a modern day machine shop would be annoyed to do such work, yet alone postwar humans.
Lastly the thing would be so incomprehensibly heavy that no human could carry it, even retard strength fallout humans, it'd weigh MORE than the already heavy 5mm miniguns in the games.
I guess the gun runners could do it, but WHY? For the effort involved in defiling a historical piece, you could've made 6 assault rifles.
Secondly, the "Light Machine Gun".
Literally a MG42...For some reason...Couldn't they at least 'falloutified' it?
Now irony aside that post-nuclear holocaust humans are running around using literal Nazi weapons, it has issues.
Firstly, again the rarity, how fucking many of these things are in America alone? Then tone it down to a single tiny map of FO76 and there'd be...One? Maybe? On a good day? These things are valuable as hell.
Secondly, again the god damned cartridge it fires, 8mm Mauser isn't in the game so it fires .308.
This one makes some sense as in real life the MG3 (modernized MG42) fires such a round, but the 'split' happened far before the MG3 existed and it seems fallout Germans replaced the MG3 with the LMG11.
But what really bothers me is that there's no modifications for it! Or barely any at least, why make such an iconic weapon, then force players to use a bog stock version of it? Just weird.
