What kinds of guns would realistically be most common in a setting like Fallout: New Vegas, where shit already hit the fan 200 years ago and civilization is just starting to crop back up?
I get the impression it'd be a mix of weapons that were common before the War like service weapons, AR-15s, pump-action shotguns, Glocks, etc. Also guns that are more simple to produce -- I've heard a lot of old French service rifles like the MAS-36 and MAS-49 are pretty simple and reliable as well as a lot of Soviet designs like the SKS, Tokarev, Makarov, etc. Anyone got any perspective?

What is the most common rifle right now?
You would see a lot of ARs, lots of durr rifles, and even more slamfire pipe rifles.
Ryder Ward
This is why we prep.
Kayden Sullivan
Obviously, WWII arms would not still be around in a active military role, for starters.
Jonathan Hill
AR 15s, AK's, hunting rifles, and shit tons of handguns would be around along with other stuff. as for stuff that people would make post-SHTF, it would mostly consist of easy to make stuff. guns like the SKS and Makarov are fairly simple from a design standpoint, but require a lot of machining and quality material. realistically most guns around being made will be stuff like pipe gun SMG's and shotguns, maybe some bolt actions like Arisaka or MAS 36-style rifles if the proper resources to make such rifles are ever found. semi auto rifles and pistols would be really hard to make since they generally require a lot of small, moving parts whereas on a bolt gun or a simple SMG the only real complex parts are bolts, extractors, and springs and those can be found pretty easily or manufactured somewhat simply if proper designing is used.

Guns that still have the machining available, you find working machining for AR's you can make thousands of AR's if the territory is well guarded.
How the fuck do you intend to make a fucking MAS-49 in America without carving the entire thing by hand?

like why wasn't that legion home base? or the reason to go to vegas?
how did obsidian miss out on that.
Evan Nguyen
Probably a mix of pre SHTF guns in various stages of wear, often repaired with makeshift parts and fuck tons of home made break action shotguns, pistols, smgs and perhaps a few good quality,recently produced guns, made by professional gunsmiths whose training descents from pre SHTF gunsmiths.

Jow Forums is either mr. house or boomers you dipshit.
plus I mean, the legion openly hates on guns.
(still my fav faction though, but thats cuz I'm an evil sadist)
Benjamin Jones
Simple rebuttal.
Nate (Male PC) is a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran (power armor, laser rifles, uber low profile plate armor) and what has happened is that Shawn was never told until recently who his parents were, and the BOS had been spotted in the area.
The BOS is vastly superior in tactical knowledge and combat experience, the Institute is just a bunch of sheltered autists, it would be a matter of time before the BOS figured out where the Institute was. Even if not, the presence of the BOS would make resource gathering and synth reacquisition nearly impossible.
>Railroad
That was retarded, the BOS wouldn't have found them EVER. The Institute couldn't fucking find them, and yet the BOS could?
>Minutemen
FUCK YOU GARVEY.

Did this with the White Gloves (i wiped out the omertas with the "keep holdout weapons" option and it was a gauntlet) and it was a massacre. They were all armed with canes only people who posed a threat where Heck Gunderson, his men (i killed them because they started shooting at me and i did not know who Heck Gunderson was and thought he was a cannibal too) and two cooks with flamers, you would expect more security from a elite cannibal casino.
Also Veronica went on a murder spree on Gomorrah, she killed a bartender using a bat and them tried to KOS any prostitutes she saw (i think she killed johanna before i even got the chance to use her "services)

horses and dogs have been given ranks in modern militaries.
misogyny aside, meritocracy is a meritocracy. a girl could totally become an asset. couldnt climb ranks but could be some kind of officer even.

To be fair ncr probably has gun control too, independent new vegas is the way to go if you want gun rights in the wasteland.
Josiah Adams
How many 200 year old unmaintained guns are safe to fire today? How many times do you see even 100 year old centerfire ammo fail to work?
I bet it would be metal tubes with black powder and alternative ignition because working primers will be hard to come by. Flintlock pipe guns.

>Legionaries
Mostly armed with Henry Martini's 45-70. Use accurate volley fire to compensate for lack of fire while closing. Also issued pipebombs, smoke grenades, and uses them within throwing distance. Finally bayonet time.
>prime legionaries
These are the NCO's that take charge of noobs and provide greater firepower and support. Either uses lever action or bolt action guns, with orders to kill leaders or dangerous enemies.
>veteran
Given the best weapons, automatic and energy weapons, RPG's, and given AR500 armor EVERYWHERE.
These guys don't hang back they advance with the noobs, and suppress enemies or if they prefer they are given Rippers or Thermal Lances.
Adam Brooks
yeah attempted once. but she cried to the centurion and got the guys punished. not badly but public enough that she was seen as off limits.
then she gets all warped later on and goes along with the treating women like dirt thing. takes her own female sex slaves just like any other legion slaver after a raid. stuff like that. wants to be one of the boys so bad she goes full edge lord to prove how stronk woman she is.

I'm voting for AK clones. They make that shit with hand tools all over the third world, and the Fallout world seems to have a decent amount of functional power and machine tools so it'd be even easier. Simple blowback SMGs are a pretty good bet too.
