Talk:La Longue Carabine

Accuracy
La Longue Carabine's spread is 0.2 and a Cowboy Repeater's spread is 0.4, that makes the statement that a Cowboy Repeater is more accurate false.

The name is wrong?
Pardon me if I'm wrong, because I've only been learning French at school for about 10 weeks now, but isn't the name wrong? Doesn't the adjective come AFTER the noun, instead of before it? (whups forgot to signature) Samiam22 12:20, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

In real french, yes. This rifle, on the other hand, has been named La Longue Carabine by its owner. Not neccesarily "The longe rifle". Scarface11235 11:23, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Not really. It can go either way, depending on the adjective, the noun, and even the effect you want to give to the sentence.

Rifle.
The statement about the rifles size is actually false.

It's actually a Henry Repeater, with a 21 inch length barrel at the very least. You can tell by the top ejection port for the casings, and the side mounted scope.

If you drop the Cowboy repeater and La Longue Carabine side by side, you can see the difference in size, that the Carabine is actually longer.

Even though this is just a game it does explain it's increased damage and accuracy.

No longer pickpocketable
This weapon does not appear to be able to be stolen from Sterling after he goes to Camp Forlorn Hope (unsure if this is the case beforehand, when he resides at Camp McCarran). Whether this is due to one of the patches or not, I am also unsure. 86.190.50.182 20:08, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Weapons are extremely difficult to steal, even with a stealth boy and 100 sneak. It can easily take 50+ reloads if you are unlucky (nothing to do with the Luck attribute). Mictlantecuhtli 20:57, August 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * My apologies, I should have been more specific - the weapon actually doesn't appear in Sterling's inventory at all. It's immpossible to pickpocket it. Sorry for not being clearer. 86.190.50.182 21:00, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * None of their weapons will appear while equipped, first take their ammo, go to another area and come back and they'll have unequipped the weapon. Or just give them something better along with some ammo and they'll equip it immediately. UserGreatMara.png pistol.png 21:03, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, Goddamn. Why didn't I think of doing that, I even read about that trick here before. Now I feel dense. Sorry, guys. 86.190.50.182 21:47, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * It has been very hard to pickpocket if you try, I have done that countless times with stealth boy and have very little success. The best way is to just attack him using a weak weapon (like the Laser Pistol or .22 Pistol) and shoot it out of his hands, then pick it up quickly and holster your weapon. Just make sure you leave your companions outside.
