Gauss weapons require small guns skill.

Well, um in Fallout it uses small guns skill, but technically they are energy weapons. Confusing? Well try to figure out the difference between bozar and the assault rifle, which is small which is big, it's just a matter of drawing the line somwhere, me thinks?

I always figured the bozar was a heavy weapon based on the character artwork whilst weilding. Also that using it was based on HW skill.

Gauss in FO2 is small gun skill.

Greetz...

well, i think, they are Small Guns, because they use a solid projectile... okay, that bullet is eeeh shooten by some energy stuff, but still solid...
most energy weapons are not solid, like a laserbeam or a plasma-thing...
so i think they should be small guns... a Gauss Pistol and Gauss Rifle for small guns, Gattling Gauss for Big Guns :D
A PlasmaRifle uses energy, while a Gauss Rifle uses somekind of bullet... i guess... yet i wasnt using Railgun-type-weaponry in real life...

as far as I know gauss rifle uses pure steel bullet accelerated by magnetic field in barrel, this wider places on them. so I would classify it as classic gun, not energy because bullet is not some energy like laser beam or plasma but solid steel. but you know, n00b am I
and thats my first post, so hello all:D

Right about that. However, the gauss pistol and gauss rifle were classified as 'Small guns' in Fallout 2.
