If I remember right it was in FO2... And it was the best energy pistol (after AB) ! 8O

Ripper! That and the power armor and I can pretend it's a Space Marine mod.

Well either that or the laser rifle. I don't know why bit cutting Super Mutants in two is great, that and you don't need to pick stuff up one at a time like with the plasma rifle.

Nothing beats the good old Desert Eagle...

Just finished Fallout first time (I can be sometimes terrible late, but I feel really sorry for being late for 5 years to enjoy this masterpiece).

.223 pistol is just irresistable but just alone it is a bit too weak for endgame. It also seems to give slightly higher chance for criticals, but it may be also just my wishful thinking. I paired it with (plasma)granades for keeping bulk of mutants away. Sniper rifle is aslo good thing to keep nearby.

Though I rarely use it, the mini-gun is prety neet for groups of muties as well...

I'd say the double-barrelled shotgun if it ever had an option to let go both barrells at once, but it doesn't.

.223 pistol of unholy loudness is really, really fun to use. Rocket launcher is expensive in almost every sense that matters in Fallout, but oh so much fun. Ditto with a flamer.

In fallout the shotgun has single, aimed single, and reload. No double shot.

Lynxer is referring to FOT where one of the shotguns(Berreta) has a double shot mode unless I missed a shotgun while playing.

In ascending order:

- Gizmo's Mauser
- Combat Shotgun
- .223 Pistol
- Rocket Launcher of DOOM!

I preferred the 10mm pistol, aimed shot to the eyes with a high chance of criticals...no I am lying, the Turbo Plasma Rifle was my weapon of choice. The flamer was cool, but turned DOGMEAT into ROASTMEAT one too many times.

the red ryder LE or the Alien blaster. it was so great when the radscorpions would just disappear!

Radoteur · Post by **Radoteur** » Tue May 28, 2002 9:41 am

So far in my current game...
Hunting Rifle and Shotgun are my weapons of choice.
Hunting Rifle for distance and Shotgun for closeup.
I'm in the Hub with 600,000 some caps, so i'll probably get my beautiful Sniper Rifle and .233 Pistola.

(How was Gizmo's games fixed? He lost a ton of money from me.)
Don't tag barter, just tag gambling (or work it up a little) and get a nice paperweight for keys 1 and 4. Off to the roulette tables!

My favorite combo is TPR on primary and .223 pistol on secondary. Add Hardened Power armor and oooooh so much ownage.

Gatling laser + (Bloody mess?) + High Energy Weapons Skill = Sometimes over 400 damage, and cuts people in half! Me like! :twisted:

For me it would be the flamer it is the greatest weapon in the fallout series

VasikkA · Post by **VasikkA** » Wed Aug 07, 2002 4:58 pm

Yay, another resurrected thread.

Flamer is OK but the only weakness is the range, which is quite a big weakness. I love the death animation though. A good mid-game weapon, you can't really do massive damage with it. I give it to Marcus, because of the weight(flamer +fuel).

Dark Cirus · Post by **Dark Cirus** » Thu Aug 15, 2002 10:56 am

lessee....
AB
.233
and the laser rifle. I just loved watching how many critters black isle flogged their animators into creating death animations for. slice.

Dan · Post by **Dan** » Thu Aug 15, 2002 5:43 pm

Other then then the .223 pistol, I just loved the Red Ryder LE BB gun.

It always makes high damage because of the min/max being the same, has a decent range and a magazine of 100 bullets which is great. Not to mention only 4 AP for shoot and 2 if you have fast shot + bonus rate of fire.

VasikkA · Post by **VasikkA** » Thu Aug 15, 2002 8:47 pm

Yup, and with Sniper perk every shot is a critical. But those BB's are quite rare and often run out.
