Is it possible to make your own armor-piercing ammo/poisonous ammo instead of buying it? Fallout3Maniac 02:35, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

It is possible to make your own if you either buy the parts and/or breakdown existing ammo, allowing you to say..convert 5mm into 45-70 Gov't.--Icommandoxx 01:28, March 25, 2011 (UTC)icommandoxx

I like the way you think ! I want some poisonous ammo. Squalor 04:03, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

I use this ammo recipe mod to be able to make armor piercing ammunition. It's well balanced, allows you to make any kind of ammo once you have the Hand Loader perk (including 25mm and 40mm grenades) and it's extremelly well balanced. For making a single round of .50 MG Armor Piercing for the AMR you will need 100 repair skill and 40 lead, for example, so you won't be able to make 1.000 rounds because you won't have enough scrap metal to do it (you can buy normal ammunition and convert, but there's a penalty included, you will need 100 rounds of normal .50 to make 70 .50 AP). The same applies to grenades, you will make 40 or 50 in a batch, but not too much. Like I said, the mod is well balanced and don't disrupts gameplay or make the player too powerfull.

Making ammo is wasted in vanilla NV, at least for Guns, the devs shitted hard. What's the point of not being able to make armor piercing or converting .357 to .38 special or 5.56mm to .233? It lost all sense having the Hand Loader perk, because is more cheap and less trouble buying the ammunition from vendors. The only type worthing is Hand Load, but not every gun benefits huge from it, so you end buying the ammo again.

And poisonous ammunition??? I want that too! LOL Brfritos 03:06, March 26, 2011 (UTC)
