Talk:Assault rifle (Fallout 2)

Just wondering what the AK-112 stands for....I heard that Fallout 2 devs confirmed Fallout 1&2 assault rifle is actually descendant of famous AK-47s line of assault rifles - but i had no confirmation
 * It's a nod to the famous AK-97 from Wasteland, and a part of canon, something morons like Sorrow can't seem to understand. As for the meaning, well it can be various. Maybe the designer was named Kovalksy or something? Autoloader Kovalsky Model 112 for instance. Prolly wouldn't be used under that name by the US Army, though. Shaur M. S.

Just well -what is part of canon? AK-97 not part of Fallout universe's canon....AK-112 was a nod to Wasteland's AK-97, as well as to famous Kalashnikov AK-47 (it also could lead to assumption that AK-47 itself could exist in Fallout universe, as well as in our timeline - if the divergence was around 1950s) About US-army....just well -we don't know what were the relations between USSR and USA in Fallout universe- so thoretically US-army could have adopted rifle of Soviet design....

Both the AK-47 and AK-74's "number" come from the year they entered production. But then the AK-100 series in the nineties obviously broke that convention. You could ignore the recent models and speculate that the AK-112 was the number used to indicate it came in production in 2012. And since Gaston Glock was a robot/AI making plasma pistols, who knows what the soviets did with Kalashnikov? :D Dr. Lobotomy 04:29, December 8, 2010 (UTC)
