Rifles of Fallout: Part 1 REMASTERED

Personally i don't buy J.Sawyer's statement on the Service Rifle being all-pre-war. I like to think the wood comes from pine trees, or maybe even redwood. Surely the NCR has lumber yards!

I wish 4 would have carried on with New Vegas ammo reloading system I was not a fan of the way fallout 4 did "gunsmithing"

I mean, if the fallout 4 assault rifle was established in lore as being intended purely for use by power armour units I can kind of accept that. letting the soldiers carry heavier equipment was kind of the entire POINT of power armour.

One minor mistake - whilst yes, AK-47 is widely considered to be the best AR ever made, it is not reliable at all. It has a very simple design based on the Nazi STG-44 with extended rifle to accommodate the Soviet 7.62×39mm bullet type, with very good accuracy, spread and strength, but lacking any safety features that makes it useable in any unfavourable weather, and only has a 6000 shot base life, while for comparison the M16A4 has a 45000 shot life.

The radium carbine looks to be based off the strumgewher 1-5

One rifle to rule them all....
Lincoln repeater good times till you ran out of 45 70 gov round really rare ammo

Use the Radium Rifle to send your enemies to the Omnissiah.

In a sense a regular Volkssturmgewehr could possibly be produced in post-War conditions if one had the schematics. Though how they cram a .45 ACP bullet into a chamber and clip made for 7.92 Kurtz is beyond me given the design of the magazine that is clearly for a longer round like the 7.92.

Random gun nerd comment about the M14. You point out that it says it fires 7.62 in the description, but takes .303 in-game. These both can be true. The M14 was originally chambered in 7.62 NATO. However, the chamber/barrel tolerances are such that it can fire .303 British.

Reaching level 69--->NICE.😹 Your content has been helping me cope this week. Thank you very much. Your dedication to this series and diligence to your channel is awesome.

The automatic rifle from dead money is the colt monitor I believe. It was an off shoot of the BAR meant for police forces

You seem to have forgotten the Light machine gun In NV. 1 of my fav weapons in game.

AK could also mean Automatkarbin, so the AK 112 of Swedish origin

God i want a type 93 irl. The 10mm Chinese mauser too

The handmade rifle is very specifically a reference to a guy in russia who set out to make his very own ak47....out of a shovel
He melted down shovels and pounded them into shape, making the reciever this way, and buying spare parts for the mechanisms
The final product looked mostly professional except when you looked closely and saw how hammered out everything looked
The only other sign was the shovel handle for the stock

PEARL NOO!!

Justification for the akas could be price also socialist movement

I was always sad that neither Assault Rifle from 3 appeared in New Vegas

The NCR in my opinion could have used an automatic weapon like the Fallout 3 AR

Odd thought with regards to the big MT’s weather tech. Do you think maybe some of that tech would have been used to manipulate the density and shape of ‘the cloud’ in dead money, since they made it?

i think the fallout 4 and fallout 76 assult rifle is really coo,l because it looks unique unlik the chinse assult rifle from fallout 3 or that one from fallout new veags

I want the M16 in New Vegas or R24 (The one look like a baby of FAL and G3) in FO3 back, not some kind of mutation of the Lewis Gun.

Now that I think about it, the Service Rifle IS an AR-10, but it's like one of those Brownell production that chambers the 223 cartridges, since the in game model doesn't haves the bolt on the back (those look ugly as poop anyway), but they didn't model in the bolt under the carry handle either. BUT since the reloading animation are racking the bolt likes an AK, or just reused the Chinese Assault rifle animation, the bolt on the top could be bends on the right sides intentionally at part of the design, it's would make more sense not to have that bolt block out the iron sight if the carry handle are remove.

One of the default characters in Fallout 1 is the granddaughter of a Soviet consul, so relations with the USSR were indeed likely better in the Fallout universe

Something not noticed is that the fallout 4 AR has a SAW hand grip

What about the nv battle rifle Isn't it also an m1 garand?

i hate that 76 doesnt have 7.62

I don't know about it in the Fallout lore but in real life, at some point in the '90s or late 80's china and Russia flooded the civilian arms market with very cheap firearms which could explain why the weapons are very common the earlier games and in fallout 3 also it's not uncommon for soldiers to take enemy's weapons i believe one of the sim soldiers in anchorage talk about getting a pistol for his kid or brother and as for the handmade rifle again i don't know about in fallout lore but in real life, they banned the sales of the gun but not the parts so rifle parts kits were being sold and people had to make the gun themselves and the SVD style stock is a bit common for the civilian Vepr AK in Russia but i don't think they sell them in the US ever since i think now all gun-related sales are band

I believe the perforator/infiltrator can be found in mick and ralph's secret weapon rack at their store in new vegas

You missed that the radium rifle is in fallout 76

The OG Fallout assault rifle may not necessarily be Russian because of the AK designation. The Swedish use a rifle called the AK5, which is a Swedish version of the FN FNC. The AK there stands for Automatkarbin.

This wont be seen but its heavily implied that a lot of the gun runners stock that they sell to the ncr is basically fixed up shit that they buy from all around and repair before reselling it back to the ncr, theres someone who says something like "we dont sell our best to the ncr" or something like that

The way you said "cetme" letter by letter was a bit funny to me. Everyone else seems to just say it in one word.
I will talk about a few interesting things.
The type 93 is heavily derived from the ak (obviusly) and seems to take a few design ques from the rpd lmg (notably in the shape of the handguard).
It should also be said that that the cetme/ g3 is ironicaly not capable of mounting scopes without modification, c!nt function without the stock (it has the recoil spring in it) and is terrible with supressors. The "91" in the name also probably comes from the "ptr 91", an american clone of the g3 and the only realistic way of getting one.
Another wierd thing to point out is the caliber of these weapons. While 556 is an option with both the ak and g3 family of rifles, they are more often offered in other calobers-7.62 soviet and 5.45 for the ak and 7.62 nato for the g3. The wood furniture and streight mag on the g3 make it especially apparent that it is not based on the hk33, the 556 chambered g3.
Also, i realy think that the reason fallout features more aks and less m4s and stuff is that they went with the ak= rugged stereotype when developing the game.
Another titbit: assault rifles are defined partialy by the intermidiate cartrige. Techincaly soeaking, the g3 and fal are battle rifles.

The Fo4 assault rifle was chunky to match power armor and your pronunciation is impeccable

The Chinese Assault Rifle being an AK in 5.56 makes sense: it has the ergonomics and handling of the rifles Chinese special ops are used to, but they can use ammunition captured or purchased in North America.

I like the assault rifle from 4 more then 3

Russian AKs being in the US is quit simple actually. Americans like guns, and we dont care who made them.

I think the reason a lot of homemade rifles had no stock is that if they are an alternate version of the Chinese rifle, they had to be disassembled to be smuggled into the country. This resulted in a lot of parts missing from the weapon.

I remember hearing the reason for The Problem Solver and The Splattercannon having the same legendary effect is so that you don't lose out on a really powerful rifle if you decide to murder all the raiders in Nuka-World. I don't know if this is true or not, but if it is true, it's a pretty cool way to allow the player to not have to devote to Charisma just to pick up one of the most powerful rifles in the game.

Actually pastor there is a way to get the simulation Chinese assault rifle out of the Anchorage simulation,it involves just getting the Gary corpse and angling him a certain way in the pod and when you exit out of the Sim you can put all.the stuff inside the corpes before the game takes it away from you

The us and Russia did have better relations, one of the options for the playable characters was the descendants of a Russian ambassador or businessman, or something like that.

The only fallout rifles I can even “tolerate” are the hunting rifle, lever action and handmade rifle, all other rifles are abominations and are an affront to John Moses browning. Thank god for mods 🙏

So that questions if the combat rifle looks like a placeholder, was the r91 supposed to be in its place, or the Chinese assault rifle. But the inclusion of the combat rifle in fallout 76 blows that idea out of the water. Shame that ugly thing is part of the lore.

I remember before modding in some more realistic guns, I didn't mind the FO4 assault rifle that much. It did feel pretty tanky. But nothing beats an AK for me.

You can actually get the sim Chinese assault rifle if you do the Gary body glitch. I've done it before

At first I also thought the FO4 assault rifle to be ridiculous because of its size. it has grown on me, however. I still don't ever use it, because it is far too heavy.

Finally, someone covering fictional guns who actually knows a thing or two about guns

Kinda disappointing how many dont

The Marksman Rifle stock is a Magpul PRS stock.

"AK" can possibly stand for things other than it being Kalshnikov-derived. For example, Sweden has rifles called AKs, standing for "automatkarbin". Granted, Swedish guns in the US doesn't make a ton of sense either, especially since it's kind of big to be described as a carbine, even by Swedish conventions.

I like to think the Fallout 4 "Assault Rifle" is designated as such because it's intended for power armor soldiers, so for them, it's used as a rifle, not a machine gun.
