These three main ideas id like to propose could alter the combat mechanics of the game quite a lot, putting it into a more tactical/realistic manner. 1) Removal of the Hunting rifle and Pipe Revolver .50 cal Receiver and add a AT-rifle with higher Damage, weight and range instead. I mean cmon. Its a .50 cal. It should hurt far more than it does in the vanilla game(perk-less, at least) . We had one in new vegas already so theres not much we can do wrong anyways. 2) Machine guns. Light machine guns, Medium Machine guns and such, give them to heavy units and add a temporary suppression effect to any automatic Gun with the caliber 5.56 and higher. No semi-auto receiver for these, maybe add a cooldown effect to some barrels just for the fun too? would also be cool to add a bipod mechanic that allows for better recoil control when crouching near a low blockade such as sandbags. This part includes the change in combat mechanics i mentioned in the beginning, as heavies will be better armored and act different than normal units would. 2.a) Gun Mounts for auto weapons as a additional way to reinforce settlements. Could add a .50 cal M2-style Heavy machine gun to that too, next to assault rifle and minigun mounts. 3) Ammo. Replace .38 with 9mm Para or just add it alongside and with similar drop rate, also add a 20mm and 40mm Grenade. It kind of surprised me to see the 9mm miss completely from the game, i must admit. While the .38 is technically 9mm too, the ingame version has a longer casing (see pipe gun magazines) and completely ignores the adaption of the caliber in the U.S. army, which should be included despite the usa being stuck in the 50´s , imo. The 20 mm would be added as a Power armor/super mutant rifle or single-shot human recoil cannon while the 40mm should just be added with the M79 Thumper. Bonus: An actual smg ? For 10mm round, as an example. And of course more diversity between the guns themselves. Id love to see more guns using the same caliber in the game.

So, I'm aware that spamPTRS made a version of the classic stamped sheet metal Armalite Rifle, however, the one he chose to create was, objectively, wrong (no offense PTRS, just joshin' ya). My request here is for there to be made an automatic version, basically, the AR-18. I'd especially appreciate it if the rifle was made with options for folded or removed stocks (the latter being how the Terminator carried it), and with an extended, jungle-style taped magazine configuration that adds 10 rounds of capacity to the standard 30 round STANAG (as 40 round sheet metal magazines were a thing in the 80s as well) and increases reload speed by, say.... I dunno 10%? Maybe 5 if that's too much. You could actually rip the animations from the standard service rifle, as the AR-18 has its charging handle on the right side of the rifle, similar to the way the Fallout devs configured this universe's version of the AR platform rifle (frankly it still looks whacky as all get out to me, but hey, it's a free resource in this case). Anyway, if anyone feels like taking on this challenge, I would be extremely appreciative. UP THE RA, -Doomspud Roflcopter
