basically its since Fallout 1. The AK - 112 Assaultrifle, aka in short "Assaultrifle" ;) And - if you really want to go all out: Fallout Tactics had quite a range of known guns in it. And the chauchat ... as a bad joke heavy weapon. That can`t fire or do damage

tho in this game, this weapon is called the "hand made rifle" it's mostly an upgrade over the pipe guns of the raiders. on indication is, as jon pointed out: the shovel stock.

@@TheHammerGuy94 I also thought it was supposed to be inspired by the home made Ak. I also thought that just like in reality where someone attempted to make their own Ak from scratch. The raiders attempted to create more Chinese assault rifles because they found it an effective weapon but could not reliably acquire more. Though I always had a head cannon where the Chinese were actually using the real life Ak. Now the Ak is seen as a Chinese assault rifle because it was used by the Chinese during the war. So its true origin was lost in translation.

@@daegnaxqelil2733 KZfaqr known for AK

How do you feel about the Identity vs. Quality argument?

"according to rumors I've heard" It's not rumors, it's a fact that the Assault Rifle was designed to be a machine gun first and foremost. In the game files and code it's coded and listed as "Machine Gun" and is only referred to as an Assault Rifle in game.

It can still take the role of LMG once fully upgraded with drum mags.

It's probably to avoid confusion about it being a rifle and not a heavy weapon as those are different classes. I could see how a lot of casual gamers would be confused by that

It's because it looked proportionate to power armour. that's why.

Was here to comment the same thing. TitanFall or Apex or both!

Thank you for bringing this game in the comments you cultured man

Agree! esp Titan weapons!

Watch the Ahoy videos on them

That what im saying

Lasers shouldn't, but Plasma should.

The follow up to my comment, why have "automatic" lasers?! Surely just having a single beam makes more sense?!

Annnd thats why the talented Fallout modding community exists 😊. I have a mod installed for fallout 4 that makes every energy weapon recoil non existent

It is highly likely for simulated recoil... that is, if there was a movement arm to simulate it on the Fallout weapons.

The reason energy weapons have "recoil" in Fallout is due to the fact that around the 2060s-70s the US army was in a sort of transitional period of introducing energy weapons. As a result they included simulated recoil for laser rifles so that already in service soldiers could more easily adapt to using them. When they initially tested the basic laser weapons, they found soldiers would miss constantly due to instinctively bracing for recoil.

The smallest mod I ever downloaded for Fallout 4 was approximately 112kb, and all it did was change the name of the "assault rifle" to "machine gun". Just because it bothered me, and seemingly bothered enough like-minded people enough for someone to put that on nexus mods and then for a lot of downloads to occur.

Fact: this gun was really meant to be a machine gun. but in the final version, they left it as "assault rifle".

Yea why not just use the fallout 3 one

@@lumbagotv5404 bethesda never has things simple

It was originally going to be a machine gun with one of the designs from FO3, either the R91 or Chinese Assault Rifle, being the assault rifle in FO4. However Bethesda decided against having a machine gun in the game and felt that the two assault rifle designs from FO3 looked awkward in the hands of the newly revamped power armor as they were too small. Hence why the atompunk Lewis gun became an "assault rifle" so it could fulfill the roll of a rifle caliber kinetic weapon that didn't look like a toy when used in power armor suits.

Because gunmodels are made by artists and they are clearly not always gun people, they look at references and or demilled props and just copy things not knowing or forgetting to think about how the gun would actually Work. It is Fine if they copy one real weapon but problem comes when they try to make something on their own. Their creations almost always turn out to be overly bulky, with nonfunctional extra bits, receivers not matching the size of the rounds etc.

@@Roguekriger So another case of Bethesda being lazy? Gotcha

Sometimes I like it when a game knows what it is and kicks back a bit.

@Tetraphosphorus nothing more fun than playing a game that doesn’t take itself seriously, Borderlands 2 has to be the best game for that

Both FO3 assault rifles are better to what FO4 got for as a assault rifle.

FO4's "asault rifle" is literally a machine gun. It even has ".50" printed on it's suppressor, but at some point the actual assault rifle got trashed so they changed the machine gun designed for PA users into being the "assault rifle".

You can see from Fallout 4's concept art that the Assault Rifle we got was implied to have a different role in the game. But it seems that at some point during development they had to buckle down and choose to reconcept an entire new weapon to fill this role, or just improvise an existing model for the job. Every Fallout game has loads of cut content in some form or another, similar to how in Fallout New Vegas you can find both the Assault Rifle and Chinese AR from Fallout 3 in a shop in Freeside, but they are 100% unavailable in game. Even though the Chinese have a canon presence on the west coast.

The chinese assault rifle was supposed to make an appearance too, but it never made it in The model is in the files but no any textures

@@racercowan Yeah there is an unfinished Chinese assault rifle (AK derivative) in the Fallout 4 files, meanwhile the ingame assault rifle is designated machine gun in the files. At least we did get an AK eventually with one of the DLC. The combat rifle also makes a pretty good assault rifle even if it does look like more like a .308 battle rifle and is chambered in 45 ACP for some reason.

Hs 😂😂😂😂 i died of laughter when i saw it😂

That is actually how this gun works in real life. The metal tube with the hole in it functions like a giant pistol slide, and moves backwards when the gun cycles. It's a very unique design.

@@isaacsrandomvideos667 they’re both published by bethesda, but MachineWorks is the developer of the most recent Wolfenstein games. There aren’t any guns from Fallout in TNO, TOB, TNC, or Youngbloods, besides maybe some superficial differences resulting from them both being set in alternate history (although they’re two very different forms of alternate history). There are some references to Bethesda games (Dragonborn helmet in The Old Blood, there might be more I’m unaware of)

@@socksleeve I’m sure the c96 was in wolfenstien By the way I don’t mean like literally the fallout guns, I mean like guns based off the same gun, but not the same gun.

@@isaacsrandomvideos667 ahhhhhh, I gotcha. Yeah I think the c96 might have been in return to castle wolfenstein or maybe the 2009 wolfenstein

That's a valid argument (oddly enough coming from a man named MoreFarts MoreSharts), but I'd counter with the fact that the majority of the ones you find are in .45 ACP which suggests that the 5.56 or .308 ones are a modified version of the .45, rather than vice versa.

I feel like the gun would be more liked maybe a fan favorite if the game conveyed that more effectively and provided a different assault rifle in the base game. It's unfortunate because I feel like it works really well as a power armor assault rifle

Yup, that's pretty much it. The one other detail that I've read is that it was originally supposed to be chambered for .50 caliber, which would further cement it to being a weapon that only power armor users could shoulder and fire. This is one of the things that contributed to the overall lack of variety of weapons in the base game.

If thet chambered it full power.308 or even the originally intended .50 BMG(the silencer SAYS .50BMG) and went all in on the big air cooling with the excuse that power armor lacked the dexterity for quick change barrels it could have worked as their sidearm for when their missiles/mininukes/gauss/miniguns ran out or were damaged. It would have worked

It would've been quite interesting had some weapons only been usable by a power armor user. As it is, the Assault Rifle is incredibly underwhelming as a weapon imo since it appears to show up *after* the Combat Rifle in the leveled lists and yet it has *less* firepower???! lol Why??!

@@pathogenofdecay Because probably, AR has huge ammo capacity compared to CR. Still underwhelming tho.

Or the double shot single barrel spas-12

Well, the 50rd mag could be feasible and indeed does exist, albeit in drum mag form, and an mp5/m203 combo was famously mocked up for the Arnie film End of Days, so it'd be very interesting to heat what Jonathan felt would be real world applications/downsides for both. My feeling would be both would detract from the mp5s role as an extremely light, pointable and accurate smg, but as I've only ever fired one at a static range (and it was a luvverly bit of kit), I could be completely wrong.

@@peterclarke7240 the M203 adapter exists also IRL.

Don't forget the "HD" model pack Valve added, where the MP5 is turned into an M16 and the Glock is turned into an M9 - without changing any other properties of the guns. That's to say you are now fighting marines armed with 50 round 9mm M16s and 17 round Beretta M9s. The models look nice and all, but I have no clue why they did that while everything else stayed fundamentally the same with a higher level of detail.

you are not charging it with compressed light... you are using a hand crank generator to charge the capacitor. it has a barrel from the aer-9 laser pistol, a couple optics to align the laser (presumably since it is cobbled together from scrap parts, not a legit military laser) the flaw is that in additional to standard through six crank capacitors, it also uses fusion cells as ammo... thus requiring two sources of energy. but as he points out... it is a game made by gamers who do not much seem to understand real world weapons... it has flaws

@@mattlewandowski73 That's not how a capacitor works, you don't fill it with gas (or plasma), as you do with the laser musket.

@@anthonybottigliero8336 You do seem to be fixated on plasma in a laser weapon. Based on the lore we have about the laser musket, it would need neither a compressed gas, nor a battery (fusion cell). I never said anything about filling capacitors with gas... That is all in your apparent desires. The hand crank turns a generator. (Look at the windings in the artwork) this in turn charges a capacitor. The function of a capacitor in this instance is to take a charge then deliver it all at once (no different from the supercapacitor battery booster packs you use to jump start cars these days). This sudden surge of energy upon firing the musket is delivered to a laser exciter (the closest thing to plasma being used in the musket, but contrary to your concept, a laser exciter would not be filled by a hand pump). The exciter then emits a beam that is focused and refined by the lenses attacked down the length of the "barrel". There is no need for a fusion cell in the gun because it uses a hand crank to generate the electricity it uses. The use of fusion cells is strictly a mechanic added to the game to make sure you have to find a constant source of ammo for a gun that needs none. Thankfully, some modders out there who actually understand how the laser musket as designed would work have made a mod that removed the need for a secondary power source and laughed at bethesda in the mod description for including one in the first place. the weapon mechanics in the game are to say the least... flawed... this happens when people who do not understand how weapons work design weapons for games :) Realistically though, the gauss rifle is a far better concept than the lasers... though even then, working models either need an excessively long barrel, or are unable to achieve the hypersonic velocities desired for such a weapon. It is, at least, a "future weapon" that has artwork that is close to correct for it's function.

@@mattlewandowski73 The weapon IN THE GAME fills with a gas. Pay attention, slappy. And you said, I quote, "you are using a hand crank generator to charge the capacitor." To which I replied "That's not how a capacitor works, you don't fill it with gas (or plasma), as you do with the laser musket." So you have some homework to do before you are educated enough to participate in this conversation. 1) either play FO4 or watch a video of the Laser Musket in said game, and observe it in operation. 2) get thee to Wikipedia, and look up "Capacitor", so you can understand what it is and what it does.

@@anthonybottigliero8336 It appears that you're the one who needs to pay attention. No, the laser musket "IN THE GAME" does NOT fill with a gas. It is, after all, a LASER weapon. The crank charges a capacitor (not a compressor, as you state in your original post) with electricity which is then used to create a laser, much like how an emergency flashlight with a hand crank works. Yes, there is a plasma globe type device on the musket that would have gas/plasma in it, the purpose of which is to show the weapon's being live and the level of charge, but the hand crank is increasing the electrical charge of the musket and has nothing to do with gas/plasma. Similar to a real world plasma globe, more red tendrils/bolts are created by increasing the electrical power, not by increasing the amount of gas in the chamber.

@@vizzy61 they look pretty epic

FO4's entire weapon system is nonsensical. The assault rifle spawns in late and with high requirements for gunsmithing when you already have a combat rifle that is better in every situation. So much so that its even better than the actual sniper if kitted correctly. Hell, the overseers guardian can be obtained in like 2h of playtime and its one of the strongest weapons in the game. There's no advanced sniper, assault rifle, smg or pump-action shotgun. It truly makes me appreciate obsidian's selection of weapons and the player's progression through them.

I always hated that gun, and avoided using it at all costs.

​@@mr_dreIndeed an 308 OG renders almost any weapon you loot is obsolete. There's only a hand full enemies the OG can't one shot and it has a high rate of fire.

@@0ptera i think most players would have preferred a simpler, more traditional hierarchy of weapons with clear roles. Having that .308 you mentioned obliterate everything just isn't satisfying gameplay or progression

@GiRayne True, but mods also have their own problems, some are higher quality than others and might not even work together. It makes for a very inconsistent game experience, it lacks the vision that comes from developers when they make a focused game. I also can't really relax playing it when im constantly questioning the state of my game, like if im lacking any mods, if they're installed right or if I'd enjoy a slightly different modding set-up.

For fallouts 3 and New Vegas, it has the charge count but not the projectile, in fallout 4 it has the projectile count but no charge.

Couldn't it be possible that the magazine in 4 also has an fusion cell or so worked in it?

the 2mm EC which is what all the gauss guns in the fallout universe used is meant to be both a cartridge and a fusion cell but as to how the fuck that's meant to work is beyond me

@@richardvlasek2445 I'd assume that the fusioin cell bit is incorporated into a magazine that also holds little projectiles

@@richardvlasek2445 basically most of the volume of the magazine is a battery pack that hold more than enough charge for all the projectiles in the mag. On the side of the Mag is rectangular construct(for lack of a better word) than i assume holds the 2mm large projectiles.

He already knows about the BFG

They're all named incorrectly in that game. But most of them in the original Resident Evil 2 has the correct names, like H&K VP-70 and Browning Hi-Power

Check forgotten weapons to see the guns, tho as stated the remake did stuff like change the h&k vp-70m(since it can take the military stock/3rd burst) to the "Matilda" You can find all the same guns and their names in the original resident evil 2 on playstation 1, and again watch them on forgotten weapons to see how closely modeled they are.... Cus theyd never waste the time making a video on guns where each one is covered by Mr. Ferguson's book publisher/friend/youtube gun guy Ian McMullen from the channel forgotten weapons.. *plus then you'd have the knowledge of exactly what a browning HP looks like or the rare VP-70 and why they were made out of metal and polymer before a glock ever existed"

Discussing weapon lore in Fallout makes very little sense, because it's a series that has been developed by four separate studios (and even more concept artists) that carries almost no guns from one entry to the next.
