Talk:Fallout 4

Once you upgrade the Combat Rifle with long barrel, .308 receiver, and full stock, it's pretty much a BAR. And the Hunting Rifle is probably based on a real rifle. as well. The Assault Rifle looks a bit like the Lewsi Gun, but I haven't got one yet.--Mandolin (talk) 10:05, 13 November 2015 (EST)

Oh, yeah, there's a .44 revolver as well.--Mandolin (talk) 10:08, 13 November 2015 (EST)

The revolver is similar to the S&W M29, which would make sense since they used that model in the previous games. The character in first person is always shown cooking the hammer between shots, but that isn't actually animated in third person.

There's something i wonder btw, in the live action intro (which doesn't have Ron Pearlman narrating for some reason :() you can see a chinese soldier holding a rifle that kinda looks like a Galil, is that the case?--AnActualAK47 (talk) 12:10, 13 November 2015 (EST)

Haven't gotten that far in the game myself, but yeah, the Galil looks like it has the folding bipod equipped (seen below), making it the Galil ARM. --Warejaws (talk) 12:58, 13 November 2015 (EST)

Have the chinese ever used Galil's or is that a stand in for whatever weapon they were using in the 50's?--AnActualAK47 (talk) 13:25, 13 November 2015 (EST)

A Chinese soldier holds a Galil ARM in the live-action intro.

No the Chinese never used Galils, the Galil went into service with the Israelis in 1972, and the Chinese used Type 56 Carbines aka the Chinese SKS and the Type 56 Chinese AKs in the 50's. Mr. Wolf (talk) 14:57, 13 November 2015 (EST)

Struck me as a bit odd for them to use that weapon in that intro. Then again, this is a game where you can have laser pistols so i guess i can gloss over it.--AnActualAK47 (talk) 15:07, 13 November 2015 (EST)

Maybe as a stand-in for the Type 81? --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:20, 13 November 2015 (EST)

Type 81's came out in the 1980's. Mr. Wolf (talk) 15:25, 13 November 2015 (EST)

Oh, and I just saw a Walther PPK (or a PPK/S) on a loading screen today. Haven't seen one in the game yet, though. --Warejaws (talk) 15:33, 13 November 2015 (EST)

It would('ve) be nice to have one of those in the game. Mr. Wolf (talk) 15:41, 13 November 2015 (EST)

Pipe weapons: Total fiction?

Anyone who has played this game has probably come across one of the many pipe weapons in game, weapons that have been crudely built from (as you might have guessed) pipes, sticks and other junk. What i wonder is if these types of weapons even would work in real-life.--AnActualAK47 (talk) 16:30, 13 November 2015 (EST)

I know you can build a zip gun using pipes. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:43, 13 November 2015 (EST)
