Forum:What's your favorite gun?

So far, I really love the Riot Shotgun loaded with slugs. Freakin' awesome. What's yours? MFToast - talk 00:09, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Sniper Rifle with very high 'Guns'... Well so far anyway! --202.153.222.247 04:36, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

My favorite right now is This Machine. With a good Guns skill and a decent amount of ammo, nothing but deathclaws can stand in your way. Also the Tesla-Beaton Prototype made me want to do bad things to people when I first found it.--76.231.200.143 07:23, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

The flamer has been my favorite weapon since Fallout 1. With the fire rate increase from Fast Shot and all my kills causing green energy explosions with it, this still holds true for New Vegas. Schneidend 08:51, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

The Gobi campaign sniper rifle and the YCS/186 gauss rifle are awesome. Gobi sniper found in the 100 lockpick box in the snipers nest, has it's own repair kit, high DAM and DPS and allows at least 3-4 shots in VATS. The YCS has a very high DAM and one of the highest DPS of any rifle. Sisiutl

I dunno lol. My favorite at FO3 was the gauss rifle but I still have to find any gun that appeals me as much as the old FO3 gauss rifle (in NV it's like... too old)Wertoret 17:21, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

The Q-35 Matter Modulator. I loves me a good plasma rifle!

--For me for sure the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle, i mean, after getting the perk for Hand Load ammo, i noticed that the best handload ammo bonus is given to .308 bullets: DMG x1.5

With my perks i have a Gobi that fully repaired and with 100 guns does 111 dmg. It has a big ass scope that allows u to fire from insane distances and a relatively high fire rate for a sniper weapon, so that it doesnt entirely suck for close-mid range combat. On top of that, it has a x5 critical multiplier, which makes its dps higher then that of the Anti-Materiel or the YCS/186.

But this is just me XD NeedPants 145.118.115.63 17:08, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

I haven't found that many unique weapons. So so far I am enjoying the Laser Rifle with the scope add-on. Does a fair amount of damage, easy to repair, and the mods seem fairly decent. Doctalen 02:45, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

The Ballistic Fist; one punch is all it takes. Fun to watch in VATS too as they go flying through a shower of sparks upon impact!

Hunting rifle fully modded is fucking awesome, but uses waaayyy too much AP. Sniper rifle, modded, can do 3 or four VATS shots, and uses same caliber, more DMG... Weird. Yeah, This Machine is great too. Only wish it had a scope. But my favorite gun? Anti-Material Rifle. Was waiting for Fallout to have something in the .50 caliber range, and this thing tears Deathclaws apart with one shot. Used an Armor round and killed the Alpha Male in one shot. -Unregistered user Whiteknightleo

Anti-materiel rifle for now. But when the weapon mods trickle in I'll be replacing these as well, as yet again they prove meh even with a maxed gun skill.

the three guns I ALWAYS have hot key'd are the Gobi, Maria and either the Assault carbine or full mod hunt shotty -SpaceXCowboy

Vanilla sniper rifle w/ silencer and hand-loaded .308, since Gobi and anti-materiel can't be silenced. All-American is a very fine weapon, as well. Zhukov 13:16, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

Ranger Sequoia. F'ing massive revolver with a badass texture, excellent dmg and acc, and .45-70 HP/AP punches like a semi. I <3 your corpse, Chief. -Novalime 7:24, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Right now I always carry either the Anti-material or modded sniper with .308 JSP or .50 Match. Modded .357 Revolver with .357 JFP. And last but not least Dinner Bell switching around the ammo when needed. Lingling23456 06:09, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * i never use VATS, so i need instant stopping power; the anti-materiel rifle suits me fine. next go-round, i'm going to take the "fast load" perk, however.--Logopile 11:30, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Gobi, light machine gun (close quarters combat spray and pray), and the varmint rifle fully modded.

Gobi with Hand Loaded rounds. Permanent high damage critical shots are freaking awesome. Regular snipers work too but require too much fixing and the silencer doesn't work for crap anyway. At short range I will usually bring out a Slug loaded shotgun, the riot shoots and reloads really fast and blasts through armor by just pure damage even without Shotgun Surgeon. (With slugs that is) Companions get the modded Hunter shotgun with slugs, they can reload all 8 bullets in a single animation and the reduced spread is nice for those dummies. Occasionally bring out a Max Charge loaded YCS or Match loaded Anti-Materiel for that first big fat sneak attack critical on huge targets. :P --PvtNiss 14:27, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Currently I carry four guns on me at once. I keep the Gobi for standard sniping encounters (if it walks on 2 legs and is not a death claw, i use this) I carry the .50 anti-material rifle for the formerly mentioned Deathclaws (took down the legendary with a single sneak attack critical at 100 guns with AP). the all-american is my third choice, for the four-legged variety of foe or mid-range encounters indoors (this is the only gun i use VATS with in general). My fourth gun is a floater. I swap in the mysterious revolver if i'm going casino hopping (can sneak it in with 50+ sneak). I also like mercy for the bigger foes (acquired from the afformentioned legendary deathclaw, or in his cave at least) because it uses the .40 mm grenade for bonus damage. I usually also have some assorted C4 on me as well (made a hell of a mess out of ceaser and his friends with about 9 of these (1 on bed, 3 around ceaser, 1 in front of all named people in the room, a few scattered near the door), expensive, but well worth it. -Jason (Nov. 9, 2010) 2:16 pm

I really like the Assault Carbine but it gets nerfed in the mid-to-late game. Other than that, the All-American and the fully modded hunting rifle.Benji L. 23:29, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
