This gun cannot be that gun, because this gun is this gun and that gun is That Gun.

I'm still looking for a 12.7mm pistol, the last gun I need to find to complete my collection. Don't have a LMG yet either but I know where to get one.
Once I find one though, I'll have a dilemma. The lever action shottie has been my default gun for a long time but the 12.7mm will out DPS it. Might have to get cowboy then. |

LMG can be found in the quarry, I think the 12.7 can be bought from the Gun Runners, or maybe a cave somewhere.

Funny, I picked up the 12.7, realized it wasn't as great as the rifle I was already holding (in general I had completely left pistols behind), and tossed it over my shoulder as I continued on my way.
Admitedly though, it was in pretty rotten condition, and I didn't have anything to repair it and properly examine it. How does it compare to That Gun (my previous favorite)? |

How does it compare to That Gun (my previous favorite)? http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?s=&a...t&p=1016548 On a serious note, I didn't like either when it came to pistols. The .44 revolver fires too slow for what I need it for and I'm not going to pistol snipe, the 10mm is nice with a silencer, the 9mm gets replaced quickly (though Maria works wonders), and the .22 silenced is replaced by my 10mm with the silencer - or just a nice knife. My sidearm of choice is still the .357 with JSP. Enough stopping power to solve my problems in close quarters, fast enough to reload with Rapid Reload, and the skill-based perks mod gives me that and Cowboy without having to spend my level-purks. I suppose I could do the 10mm with the handloads, or at least the HP ammo. I'm surrounded by soft targets whenever I use it anyway, and any time I'm not I'm usually toting my heavy duty AP rifles. |

I never realized you could put a silencer on a 10mm (or that it counted as a hold-out weapon). Oh well, too late now. Now I'm mostly alternating between the sniper rifle and anti-materiel rifle, with the light machine gun for any 'tidying up' I need to do. I don't think there are any pistols which can compete, except when I need to sneak something past a guard.

I have ona all around gun:
The Named Gauss-Rifle. Only reason not to use it up close is the melt down perk, which makes that a tad suicidal ^^ |

I'm getting ready for the final battle. I've finished up all of the 'come fight with me' quests. I think my plan is to equip the fat man and the machine grenade launcher gun or Mercy, plus my antimateriel rifle and light machine gun, turn the difficulty up to max, and just make some fireworks.
Worth noting, I've never bothered to increase my explosives skill. I'll read one of the Patriot Cookbooks before I go in, but aside from that, the plan is see how much my video card can take. |

I'm replacing my video card, probably today if I've got the time for it. The GX285's don't cool well (or mine doesn't) and it's been locking up my system.
I will at least jack my explosives skill up to about 50-55 so I can pass speech checks that require it, like the slave pen at Cottonwood Cove. I can disarm all three collars with a 50 skill and net me a nice XP bonus before I pick the lock on that toxic waste truck and irradiate the camp. Afterward I like to think I plant an NCR flag and rename the place "New Searchlight." |

Oh Cottonwood... I killed everyone, then dumped the toxic waste, figuring I'd never come back. Then I get the offer from Ceasar and figure 'hey, I'll go in, find out his offer, get Benny's suit, then kill Caesar and walk away.' As I'm going up to meet Caesar's contact, damn Boone shoots the guy from 400 yards without giving me a head's up, and my last save was half an hour prior. Asshat. So then I'm trudging around in radiation for fifteen minutes, trying to figure out how to go visit the Fortress, hoping that my 'all crimes forgiven' thing still holds out, while I leave Boone in the middle of Cottonwood.
Things turned... messy from there. |

Heh. I always swap Boone out for Cassidy or Arcade when Caesar's summons shows up. I'll generally do Novac, get Boone, finish his side-quest, then drop him off at the Lucky 38 and go back to recruiting everyone.

I seem to use the silenced sniper rifle with AP or hand loads 99% of the time. Riot shotgun for loud close work.
Then again I maxed Stealth. -k |
