Is anyone else dissapointed over the scarcity of weapons you are able to craft and how much they suck. I miss my dart gun=[ Chriskillz 13:01, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

I was just thinking about this yesterday. I want my dart gun back to it would be hella helpful against deathclaws. Even so, the much wider of variety of crafting in FNV makes up the gun's loss, I think.

Yeah, they added a lot of new features. Chriskillz 14:06, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, more if you count perks that actually add crafting recipes. When you think about it there's also the munitions table as well. Crossfire XVI 17:53, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

I definitely miss the dart gun and the joys of shooting everyone in both legs then switching weapons to something more lethal. And the Nuka-Grenade for clearing out or taking down clusters of super mutants. The wider selection of normal guns helps to make up for it, though, and tying in with that the munitions table as mentioned. --Pyoobez 23:13, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

I wish you could build home-made guns like the Pipe Rifle from Fallout 2, or the Zip Gun from Fallout Tactics. Zac hemker 07:11, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

Building Time Bombs, Bottle Cap Mines, Gas Bombs and Powder Charges has kept me incredibly occupied. Wonder what'll be added with Old World Blues. Tommson 12:48, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

I would like there to be more craft-able weapons. It makes sense in a post apocalyptic world that weapons and regular ammo would be in short supply. I wish there were more types of craft-able guns, and that they would require using other guns as components. For example say there was some sort of air pressure pellet rifle similar to a railway rifle but it would require a BB gun, steam-gauge assembly, tin can, and surgical tubing. You would disassemble the components from the parts and build a new weapon and the final product would fire some sort of pellets that you would also craft like a damaged garden gnome would break down into 200 pellets or something like that. And maybe there could be ammo variants too like incineration pellets that would require combining pellets, turpentine, and sugar bombs or something like that. Or a similar gun that would fire BBs from the BB gun but fire a group of them at once similar to a makeshift shotgun. Said weapon could require a single shot shotgun, vacuum cleaner, fision battery, cherry bombs, and tubing (i dont know what parts make the most sense). There could be some sort of arrow or harpoon gun, a crossbow, sling shot, or even some sort of craftable energy weapon that fires books or tin cans that are drenched or packed with a flammable liquid and ignited as they are fired from the barrel of the weapon. Anyways I think it could be a interesting aspect of the game. I like the idea of starting out without anything and literally having to make what you need to survive and recycling everything. This would also be a way of taking weapons that become obsolete as you play the game and turning them into more powerful or effective weapons.--Mrnotwen 00:14, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
