Talk:9mm pistol (Fallout: New Vegas)

Real-world basis
Sawyer finally confirmed that it's the Browning HP. Ausir(talk) 03:32, December 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm so glad that was settled... Parsecboy 01:00, January 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Normally I'd gloat about being on the right side this whole time, but knowing these guys they'd just rage-ban me.


 * Told ya' so!--Dean42bean 16:32, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I wonder why they were so adverse to including an m1911 to begin with? I know they added it in the latest DLC, but as an American staple since... 1911, it would fit into this Fallout universe perfectly. Going by J.E.Sawyers quote, you would think he had a problem with the 1911. Artyom2033 09:13, June 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * They used it because in real life the Brown High Power uses the 9mm round. And being that it was design by the same guy there is the reason for the similar look. Why would you include a 1911 that fires a 9mm when that wasn't available until well into the late 70's? I don't think they "had a problem with it". Just my thoughts.--Kingclyde 09:19, June 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * There is no reason that they couldn't have used .45 and included the gun to begin with as they have done since. Given the inclusion of M4/M16 style rifles made in the 60's and the exclusion of the canon R91, they can pander to the masses when it suits them. The 1911 should have been in the game from day 1 IMO Artyom2033 19:04, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

The developers confused me sometimes...
The do have 1911 style pistols chambered in 9mm, although that would lower the magazine capacity since most use single-stack magazines. Great Mara 10:23, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

That doesn't change the fact that it's a Browning, not a Colt. It definitely looks much more like this then like this. AkoraZ3RO 22:26, March 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, but you seem to have missed the point. They could have still gotten the iconic look of a 1911 without having to fall back on using the Browning design as the developer stated. And I found you picture posts slightly offensive, considering I own both types of pistols and know exactly what they look like. Great Mara 22:16, April 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * You know something, I actually thought the devs confirming what the gun was based upon would actually stop the arguing between the gun nuts. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 22:23, April 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh no, the arguments can go on fooreeeverrr.... Because evene then there probably would have been arguments over FNvsBrowning or specific 1911 producing companies. Great Mara 22:28, April 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Cant we all just get along and blow some ghouls heads off together. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 22:31, April 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * I suppose. But that reminds me of a question posed on another forum, would it be considered racist to bring out the shotgun the minute you see a ghoul? Great Mara 22:32, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

anyone else think this gun should've had a silencer instead of a low scope? Sound-effects 22:14, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Interesting tidbit
Just recently saw a real Browning HI-Power for sale at a gun store for a whopping $1092.00, that's more than the Beretta M92 they had there at the same store (about $600 for it) and some of the Glocks.
 * Yeah, that's normal. And it also depends on the Hi-Power, if it's an original and not a Mk.III its cost will be higher. And it also depends on if the gun is a new gun or used gun. Great Mara 14:54, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

upgrades!!!
this gun need a silencer and it need it bad just so i can you debugs megapistol and still be undetected. would make the 9mm complete so if you game designers clomp over this site i hope you see this a use my idea in one of the DLC so i can see my idea played out.
