Winchester P94 is back, baby.

Oh, that's right. I like to imagine that it fires the MFC as the hi-velocity projectile. It drains the cell quickly to power the coils, and then launches the semi empty shell out, which explodes on contact.

 

I might ass well me crying right now but my xbox broke so i cant even play this game when it comes out, but its awesome to see weaponry from the old games, in my opinion the Fallout 3 plasma rifle looked like shit :/

 

Gauss Rifle is a coil gun (which doesn't explain the blue cloud, unless the projectile became charged with electricity and discharged it upon hitt- Sorry, my brain is hurting typing that out.)

is it just me or does the Winchester P94 kinda look like a mixer drill?

 

It's just you.

 

Didn't mean looks exactly like it. I can probably make a very convincing replica (none-functioning obviously) using one of these drill as a bases then adding to it.

 

so, here's a question. What are plasma grenades?they go boom, but also melt the hapless denizens of the wasteland into a puddle.

 

@Mr. Bazooka: I'd put my money on them being explosives; they just deal plasma-type damage.

@Hassknecht: I think its fair the way it is; if you have seven strength, you have seven strength. If you have normally, you have seven strength. If you have seven strength because of the bonus power armor gives you, then you have seven strength. Unforunately, due to what is undoubtedly a mixture of lazyness, uncreativity and engine difficulties, the game doesn't scale your character's appearance based on strength. There should be a system where the higher your strength, the more your character is built. Get up in to the seven+ range, and you start to look like Predator-era Arnold.

 

Didn't Oblivion do that; have your character look more ripped as your strength improved?

 

If it did, it wasn't really noticeable to me.

 

the plasma grenade comment was meant to be thought provoking. i never used them in fallout or fallout 2 because my throwing skill was always horrendous. I just hope that the p94 can be turboed for the same devastating results that could be unleashed in F1. six shots per turn was enough to reduce even the mightiest wasteland monsters to puddles. it was nerfed in f2

 

actually have never seen that paticular 2d image or used that gun in the first 2 games.... where the hell is it? is it just a reg turbo plasma rifle or something else? because i never went the energy weapon route and thats pathetic of me.

 

The miniguns in the games? Yeah, maybe not. But the M134 used *in* the movie by Jesse Ventura? There are version of that made to be wielded by foot soldiers. And they're also a larger, heavier caliber than the 5mm used in the game.

I do agree with you though. Power armor should make you a walking tank; there should be Power-armor designed weapons. Specialized shit that's A) Heavy B) huge-fucking-firepower, C) integrates with the PA for special functionality/etc. And which may rely on the PA for firecontrol; Without a functioning suit of PA, you couldn't fire the weapon at all. Give you decent extra melee damage, but some kickass extra functionality with PowerFists etc.

 

Not so sure on that. M134 fires 50 Bullets a second. Not only is the gun heavy, i don't think a soldier has the capacity to fire or carry that amount of ammunition.

Minigun's just aren't feasible for foot soldiers, hence Belt fed support weapons.

 

Feasible? Not really. Awesome? Hell yes. Even a PA equipped soldier would have to have one hell of an amount of ammunition, something which would be difficult to maintain even when you're a strong as a dozen horses. It'd simply occupy too much space to be feasible.

Also miniguns and modern day gatling guns *are* belt fed weapons, and typically support when they're mounted on anything other than a AC130 or an A-10.

I'd definitely say a well trained, skilled soldier could effectively hold/aim/fire a M134. Hump it around in the field all day? Not outside of an action movie, but I can see people doing it. Yes, 50 rounds of 7.62NATO a second is a lot of recoil, but as was pointed out, it's heavy, and that helps alot.

 

Agreed.

Yeah, but not in the "Traditional" sense. You know what i meant =P

Maybe, maybe not. Either way you'd need to be built like a truck and personally i don't see if being effectively fired. Fired yes, effectively no. Especially not in 7.62.
