Talk:12.7mm pistol

Model and texture name of any importance
I was just wondering whether or not the model and texture name of this should be noted down somewhere on the main page. It seems to be the only gun I have seen so far with a name that doesn't fit the model. The modeller/texturer decided to call the models and textures "booyah". Should this go on the main page at all? --Omolong 23:06, December 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe it was first meaned to be another weapon like "This Machine" or "That Gun" but got changed in later development to a "normal" weapon. I personally wouldn't mention it, as it doesn't seem to be a very important.--Mr.Lexx(talk) 13:04, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * The 12.7mm pistol is obviously based on the 14mm pistol of Fallout 1 and 2, with only the way the ammo is loaded being changed(and caliber obviously). The only explanation I can come up for the "booyah" is that the 12.7mm pistol doesn't completely blow chunks like the 14mm did in Fallout with its rare and glitched "Armor Piercing" ammo which made the gun inflict only half damage.

Seriously why is this weapon rare?
I mean Yeah there are alot in The Fort butyour most likely to get a 12.7mm SMG then this. I mean it's a ok weapon but the ranger seqouia is better.

but it looks realy cool, doesn't it?


 * It's a .50 caliber handgun. There isn't much demand for a handgun that large. It isn't used for taking out personnel; it's designed to take out the engine block of Jeeps. There aren't any many situations where you're in that position, so the company producing them didn't produce a large quantity. Kastera1000 20:56, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Wrong type of .50 caliber. It's more akin to .50AE or .50 Beowolf than .50BMG. A .50AE, while powerful, won't go through the engine block of a Jeep. C93 X 06:40, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Woah fanwank much Kastera1000? The gun is rare because it just is. Maybe you think it shouldn't be, but it is. If I had to speculate, I'd say that it's because it's one of the more high end semi-auto handguns in the game and the developers wanted to make it rare due to that fact. I could be wrong about that though, only the developers at Obsidian will know. What I can tell you is that it has nothing to do with a weapon of that caliber not being used for antipersonel purposes. Because A) That's total bullshit, and B) It's just a game. It's not real.

SIG-Sauer Link
This weapon has a link on the SIG-Sauer page but not the other way around. This should be changed because the weapon's predecessor the 14mm Pistol looks and operates in the same fashion. Therefore the weapon was originaly produced, manufactured, and distributed by SIG-Sauer. Also the 12.7mm rounds in New Vegas have German writing all over the cardboard case.--Ant2242 00:56, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'm not looking close enough, but most of the writing is in English, not German. Yuri ( Leave a message! ) 00:58, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Would it make more sense that due to it being sold in the English speaking US the packaging is bilingual?--Ant2242 06:41, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * There doesn't appear to be any German here... Parsecboy 12:09, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

I can not recall any specific references to the origin of manufacture of the FONV 12.7mm pistol. I understand the similarities to the 14mm pistol, but should the reference to SIG-Sauer be made if not supported by any in-game mention or developer clarification?--The Gunny 00:03, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

xbox360 bug?
from the main page: Isn't that what is commanly called 'spread'? This weapon has the highest of all by quote of the main page.--Loonix 11:11, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * For some reason, the gun will sometimes shoot bullets more to the left or right than you originally aimed.
