Talk:Trail carbine/Archive 1

This automatically seems overpowered. I mean there's good DAM, DPS, Capacity, accuracy it's durable, with only a slow reload and lever-action. There's got to be something wrong with it besides those things. I know the game isn't released and nothing is 100% yet, but still. 67.174.95.30 20:35, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Enemies are going to be tough? – 20:56, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's either going to be a rare rifle (I mean think of the frequency of Sniper Rifles in Fallout 3) or it's going to be extremely expensive to fix and repair. Draco122 19:26, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Possible that it dosnt get through armour as good as other weapons. higher DPS is due to faster fire rate that wont to anything on power armour. --J.J.-Lopez 17:50, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Winchester Model 87
Are we sure this is the trail carbine because it's modeled after a model 87 sawn off.
 * I've removed it; that's the shotgun. Nitty Tok. 18:06, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

I wanna see this gun already!!!

4:49 in this video has the pip boy stats and then shows it in action... --Billytheboy 23:02, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

FYI: this weapon most closely resembles the Marlin Model 336 which actually comes in a .44 magnum variety and can be equipped with a scope just like the in game weapon. --BattleBen 07:35, November 15, 2010 (UTC)

Update of Weapon Stats
I have gone through and updated all the stats based on instructions from "Template:Infobox weapon FNV" as well as removed the Template:Upcoming tag from the page.

Trail Carbine vs Brush Gun
i know the brush gun is obscenely powerful but .44 magnum is more common,and i can only find 45-70 at the gun runners,at level 20 the .44 is very common and can be bought at almost any weapon vender.so what wins?

The sniper rifle with JSP ammo wins. 212.120.109.179 20:33, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

Hahahaha WRONG!!!!! .50 MG Match Grade for the AM Rifle. Or you can 5.56mm Surplus for a scoped (non-Ratslayer) Varmint Rifle if you squat to pee. TJbrena 16:30, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Depending on what you want really. The Brush Gun beats the Trail Carbine in everything, but it is a total pain to find ammo for it while you can find .44 ammo in bulk from raiders or bought from vendors. However, I think a Cowboy Repeater with Long Tube and Custom Action outdamages it (anyone confirm since Raul seems to prefer it to the Trail Carbine).

This debate is irrelevant. The Brush Gun is the successor to the Trail Carbine. The Trail Carbine only requires a 75 Guns score to use it effectively, whereas the Brush Gun requires a 100. Once you have a 100 Guns skill, you shouldn't be using your Trail Carbine any longer. Let a companion use your .44 ammo. If you buy .45-70 ammo whenever it is available well before the Brush Gun is available (or the Sequoia revolver) you should have plenty of ammo by the time you get a Brush GunKastagir 03:01, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Or you could just get an AMR and kill everything.

I dont really think anyone should rely on any one singly weapon.Id say keep around both,use the Trail Carbine to pick off the lesser enemies,and switch to your Brush Gun when things get challenging81.231.59.40 17:27, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

I agree, I have this ingrained distrust of people who rely solely on one weapon. Also, I have converted from AMR to Sniper Rifle Suppressed with JSP. Also, the upgraded Cowboy Repeater doesn't outdamage the Trail Carbine, it just has a higher DPS when Raul uses it. --TJbrena 16:30, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Unique version?
Is there a unique version of this in the game at all?--86.42.244.19 15:30, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

La Longue Carabine maybe?Not entirely certain.81.231.59.40 17:28, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

Locations
I've never seen a Trail Carbine in the Broc Flower Cave either before or after receiving the Debt Collector quest. Someone needs to clarify this or it will be removed from the main page.Kastagir 02:56, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Best Sniper Character Weapon In Game
I mean for when you're 50,000 miles away on your 8 core, quad video card, 12gb machine that actually lets you see that far and you want to snipe someone with the AMR and watch him die 3 seconds later after your bullet gets there with then I ya, the AMR still does its epic damage per hit, but it pays for that with it's slow rate of fire which makes it but the Brush Gun walks up to the Gobi Campaign Rifle, he looks at it, then he looks at the devs, looks at the nerfed gobi looks back at the devs, bursts out laughing and shoots them with the ranger sequoia with 0.01 spread that can do 91 damage on a sneak attack crit with cowboy and the proffesional

wait what

Disclaimer: I'm simply poking fun at the wacky weapon balance in this game and the exageration should be taken lightly :D Basically my point is very long range sniping is over rated due to the few instances of long lines of sight and capped view distance as well as the fact that you don't always need to be that far away to drop something before it gets to you. The Brush Guns awesome damage really kind of makes the nerfs to sniper rifles look silly. (The nerf to damage. I don't disagree with nerfing 100% crit chance. Anyone notice the Ratslayer still has x5?)
