| - This bit was already deleted, but here's my 2 caps. Fallout land is an alternate earth. The F3 "Chinese aussalt rifle" isn't any variant of the AK-47 we know, but has an impossible collection of features from various AKs from our universe's history. Any new gun or uniform in F3 should stick to this alternate earth style. And, I kinda feel the US was into ray-guns before the M-16 would've been neccesary to develop. Slug throwing type guns should maybe stay 1950 type or even earlier tech; at least those of American manufacture. China, for instance, doesn't seem to be making or using any beam weapons - so maybe other, non-US country's slug throwers are more refined. But other countries would not benefit from the extensive yank small arms innovation in the second half of the 20th century, none

But other countries would not benefit from the extensive yank small arms innovation in the second half of the 20th century, none of those things got invented. Small arms would have developed quite differently, even if still just as, or even more refined, as on our earth. They would probably still take a beating from yankee power armour + fat-man equipped infantry anyway. How about things like gyrojet guns? Beretta(? or someone) made one, a pistol firing rocket-propelled slugs. But it never took off - in OUR world ... I always wondered if the Fallout 1 + 2 "14mm pistol" was a gyrojet gun, it was supposed to be intended for armoured targets. Who knows what alternate Japan, Australia, England, Russia, Cuba, Germany might have developed? Just stick to 1940s or 50s sci-fi and you can't go too wrong.
