Fallout Tactics (2001)

Fallout Tactics is (also know as Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel) is a real-time tactics role-playing game (RTT-RPG) based on the post-apocalyptic Fallout universe.
It is a PC-exclusive title, developed by Micro Forté and published by 14 Degrees East.


OVERVIEW:

  • Almost every weapon in the game can fire in burst mode. This means that the character fires in short bursts, and not that the actual weapon is capable of firing in burst mode! (The most common burst mode is the 3-round burst, but some weapons can fire in 5- or 8-round burst.)
  • Fully automatic fire mode is not available.
  • Each item (weapon, ammunition, consumable,...) has a certain weight.
  • There is a large range of ammunition types available for the weapons: For example the Beretta 92FS can fire 9mm Ball, 9mm JHP and 9mm AP bullets. There are also fictional ammunition types, like the .50DU (Depleted Uranium) for the Browning M2HB or the EMP Shells for the shotguns.


The following weapons make an appearance in the game Fallout Tactics:



Handguns

Beretta 92FS

The Beretta 92FS makes an appearance in this game. It is the starting weapon of Farsight and Stitch. It has a 15-round magazine and can fire all 3 types of 9mm ammo. Incorrectly appears as "M92FS" in the game.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: One of the more common 9mm pistols, the Beretta is popular due to its reliability, 15 round magazine and good looks.

Calico M950

The Calico M950 appears with stock and holds 50 rounds in the helical magazine.

"Casull Revolver"

A revolver of unknown make appears in the game as a usable small gun. Although it is called "Casull Revolver", it fires .44 Magnum rounds instead of the .454 Casull. Holds 6 rounds and can only be fired one shot at a time.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: A Casull Revolver. The origins of the Casull are lost to the mists of time.

In-game inventory model.

Colt M1911A1

The M1911A1 is more powerful than the 92FS or the Browning Hi-Power, but the ".45 Caliber" round is not so common as the "9mm". It erroneously holds 12 rounds.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: The classic Colt M1911 A1. Easy to use, accurate and with tremendous stopping power, this weapon will not let you down.

IMI/Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark XIX

Perhaps the only game in the world where the the Mark XIX appears as "Desert Eagle Mark XIX" and not just simply as "Desert Eagle". The most powerful non-fictional sidearm in the game. Although it fires .44 Magnum rounds, the model lacks the fluted barrel. Due to its massive power, characters cannot be ordered to fire this weapon in short bursts.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: An ancient Desert Eagle pistol, in .44 magnum. Interest in late 20th century films made this one of the most popular handguns of all times.

SIG-Sauer P220

The SIG-Sauer P220 appears as "P220 Sig Sauer" in the game. In-game the 9x19mm variant is present which holds 9 rounds in the magazine.

Zip Gun

The Zip Gun is a single-shot pistol firing 9mm ammunition. It is very cheap, but also pointless to carry it around. (In real world, "Zip gun" is a generic term for improvised firearms, put together from available materials and made to fire (usually small-caliber) scavenged ammo.)
The description of the weapon in the inventory: A handmade single shot pistol.

In-game inventory model.

Grenade Pistol

The "Grenade Pistol" is a heavily modified flare gun that fires 40mm grenades. Very effective against groups of enemies.

In-game inventory model.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5SD1

The Heckler & Koch MP5SD1 appears as "MP5 H&K" in Fallout: Tactics. It is the starting "automatic" weapon in the game. Holds 30 rounds. Firing it in bursts is very effective, because the characters always fire 6 bullets after every mouse click.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: MP5 H&K. Probably the most widely used and trusted sub-machinegun of the late 20th century.

The MP5SD1 has a receiver cap in place of the buttstock.
In-game inventory model.

MP38

The MP38 is another usable submachine gun in the game. The in-game description is incorrect, because Hugo Schmeisser had nothing to do with the MP38's development.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: The Schmeisser MP-38 9mm Machine pistol was introduced as the standard sub machine gun of the German Army in 1938. Cheap and reliable.

Sten

Although the Sten has less range compared to other common submachine guns, it makes up for this deficiency with its slightly higher damage. It is a very rare weapon in the game.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: The 9mm Sten Gun was developed by the British during WW2 as a cheap alternative to the more expensive Thompson SMG offered the the U.S. The Sten proved to be extremely reliable and, due to its fairly loose tolerances, could perform in poor conditions.

Calico Liberty 100

The Calico Liberty 100 is a usable 9mm submachine gun in the game. Although the "Liberty 100" in the weapon's name means that it holds 100 rounds, in-game appears with a 50-round capacity.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: Calico Liberty 100. An extended variation of the Calico line, the Liberty is fully automatic. It carries a ludicrous amount of ammunition.

Thompson M1928

Called by it's nickname "Tommy Gun", the Thompson M1928 appears once again. Fires ".45 Caliber" rounds from a 50-round drum. The burst mode means 10 rounds per click for this weapon.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: This Thompson M1928 submachine gun is a sinister looking weapon; every time you hold it, you have an urge to put on a fedora hat and crack your knuckles. The Thompson is well-fed by a large 50 round drum magazine.

Fabrique Nationale P90

The P90 appears as FN P90c in the game. Has a 50-round magazine but incorrectly fires 9mm bullets.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: The Fabrique Nationale P90c was just coming into use at the time of the war. The weapon's bullpup layout, and compact design, make it easy to control. The durable P90c is prized for its reliability, and high firepower in a ruggedly-compact package.

Shotguns

Beretta 470 Silver Hawk

The Beretta 470 Silver Hawk is a powerful double-barreled hunting shotgun. Its only drawback is the 2-shell capacity. It is possible to shoot both barrels at the same time.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: A good looking Italian double barrel weapon. A low rate of fire, but potentially devastating if both barrels are fired together.

Heckler & Koch CAWS

The Heckler & Koch CAWS holds 10 shells and appears as "HK CAWS" in the game.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: The CAWS, short for Close Assault Weapons System, shotgun is a useful tool for close-range combat. The bullpup layout gives the weapon a short, easily handleable length while still retaining enough barrel length for its high velocity shells.

NeoStead 2000

The NeoStead 2000 Combat Shotgun is available in the game and is incorrectly shown as semi-automatic, while the real weapon is pump-action. It is called "Neostead Combat SG" and has a 12-round magazine.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: An automatic, 12 gauge military shotgun. The best weapon for close quarters, except for a flamethrower.

Pancor Jackhammer

The Pancor Jackhammer combat shotgun reappears in Fallout Tactics. It holds 10 shells. The characters can be ordered to fire a single shell, or five shells at a time. It is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, however "targeted shots" are not possible with it.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: The Jackhammer, despite its name, is an easy to control shotgun even when fired on full automatic. The popular bullpup design, which places the magazine behind the trigger, makes the weapon well balanced and easy to control.

Ithaca 37

The "Pump-action shotgun" in the game bears some resemblances to the hunting version of the Ithaca 37 shotgun. It carries five shells of 12 gauge.

Assault & Battle Rifles

Izhmash AK-47

The AK-47 is the most common rifle in the game. It is carried by Raiders, Beastlords and other low-lever NPC's. It holds only 24 bullets and is incorrectly depicted as firing 7.62x51mm NATO rounds instead of the 7.62x39mm. (Although it could be possible that post-War produced copies were intentionally made to fire the more common 7.62x51mm NATO that could be recovered from many surviving pre-war ammo stocks.)
The description of the weapon in the inventory: The AK-47 and its derivatives formed the mainstay of the Soviet Armies. Its reliability, ruggedness and accuracy have earned it the reputation of being the best assault rifle ever made.

Fabrique Nationale FAL

The FN FAL is another returning weapon to the Fallout universe. It is incorrectly shown with wooden furniture, although it could be possible that manufacturers made it of wood after the war.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: This rifle has been more widely used by armed forces than any other rifle in history. It's a reliable assault weapon for any terrain or tactical situation.

Steyr AUG A1

Called Steyr in the game. The AUG incorrectly has a 40-round magazine and is a very accurate weapon. Despite the Swarovski telescopic sight it has the same range as the AK-47. It's drawback is that it correctly fires "5.56mm" rounds, which are not so common in the game. The AUG is mainly used by Reavers.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: Army Universal Gun Steyr. Invented in Austria, the Steyr's unique design and visual look was the perfect compliment to any war-time ensemble.

M14

Although the in-game description correctly states that it fires 7.62x51mm rounds, the M14 in the game fires .303 British rounds. Holds 20 bullets and the characters can be ordered to fire single shots or 8-round bursts.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: The M-14 succeeded the M1 Garand as the standard US Army Rifle. It chambered the NATO standard 7.62mm round and like its predecessor, was noted for its reliability and ease of operation.

Colt M16A1

The M16A1 (with A2 handguards) is another "5.56mm" assault rifle in the game. It erroneously holds only 24 rounds, and characters can be ordered to fire single shots, or 8-round bursts.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: The M16A1 was the chief rifle used by the US marines during the start of the 21st century, and was later to be replaced by the M4 carbine. Composed of durable aluminum alloy and hearty plastic.

Ruger AC556F

The Ruger AC556F holds only 20 rounds in the game despite being modeled with a 30-round box magazine. The inventory model shows some sort of reflex scope mounted on it.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: The Ruger AC556F is a development of the Ruger Mini 14, a 5.56 mm assault rifle originally used only by police forces, but also popular on the open market. A large magazine and full auto fire makes this weapon a real crowd pleaser.

Enfield XL70E3

In the Fallout Universe the Enfield XL70E3 is an advanced assault rifle developed in the 22nd century. In our reality, the XL70E3 was a prototype of the L85/L86 family of weapons. Despite these facts this weapon holds only 20 rounds of 5.56mm and it performs no better than the M16A1 or the Kalashnikov.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: This was an experimental weapon at the time of the war. Manufactured, primarily, from high-strength polymers, the weapon is almost indestructible. It's light, fast firing, accurate, and can be broken down without the use of any tools.

M1 Garand

The M1 Garand is another WW2-issue weapon that makes its appearance in this retro-future video game. It correctly holds 8 rounds of .30-06 ammo (although that appears as ".30.06" in the game). Strangely it cannot be fired in quick bursts, as most of the self-loading pistols could be.
The description of the weapon in the inventory: The M1 Garand was the first semi-automatic rifle to be used as the standard infantry weapon of a major army when it was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1936. Its rugged construction and reliability make this weapon a popular and valuable addition to anyone's arsenal. It is scopeless, but still a nice gun.

Heckler & Koch MSG90

The H&K MSG90 appears as "DKS-501 Sniper Rifle" in the game. Strangely holds only 6 rounds but has an extreme range and devastating power.

The description of the weapon in the inventory: Renowned as the worst machine gun ever issued to any army at any time in history. Unreliable and poorly constructed, it was considered unusual if the gun fired more than one burst before jamming. It makes a completely useless addition to any arsenal.
