Forum:What is the best (in terms of damage per second and rate of fire) gun (not energy weapon) in Fallout New Vegas?

im sure that it would be a minigun i cant remember the cool ones name right now

Just look up the weapons list and check the details. But in a game like Fallout the point shouldn't be to find the one gun that does the most damage fastest. It should be to find the gun you like best or think is the coolest and make it work for you. 174.28.149.23 00:50, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

I've seen people killing Deathclaws with shovels, it's all about making it fun. Mr.goodtrips 19:02, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

The AMR is amazing for picking off targets at range. It punches them about 20 feet backwards. I always have trouble trying to find the corpse to loot. The Gobi Campaign Sniper Rifle is great in medium-range VATS. 60.234.61.1 20:05, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

I love killing Deathclaws with a ballistic fist Anon8792 20:20, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

the Holy Hand Grenades in searchlight are..devastating....it is literally throwing a nuke. TOo bad you only get three. THe CZ57 Avenger is the unique minigun, thats one hell of a gun. Mercy, the unique grenade machingun in i think Dead Wind cavern in my opinion is the best, but is fairly difficult to get...lots of nasty deathclaws. AMR is close too.

I like the regular Sniper Rifle best because it's powerful and unlike the AMR or Gobi, it's silenced. Silence is golden! - Posted by Mae Hemme.
