I feel like the easiest explanation for the fallout 3 sniper rifle's low durability is simple. Being a purpose built sniper rifle from pre-war, it likely uses rather complex internal mechanisms which were never intended to be fired so often without regular maintenance, especially in such a hostile environment like the wasteland.
A lot of irl weapons are like that
Whereas the New Vegas ones are in a less harsh wasteland and are likely better maintained, if not some of them also being factory new stock. The Fallout 3 ones are probably very poorly maintained so they can't get up to the same durability level as New Vegas' Hunting Rifles. Wouldn't surprise me in universe if they're effectively only maintained to 50% Durability compared to some of the more civilised parts of the post war wastes due to a lack of proper, new, spare parts and cleaning agents.
@@MitsukiTakeda Don't forget the Gun Runners are actively making new weapons, which are made for common combat.
Makes since they wouldnt have many good parts for maintenance and the wasteland is harsh with lots of dirt and sand.
From what I understand of real world DMRs this isnt really the case. In the US we use Remington 700s and AR10s as DMRs both of which are very durable weapon systems that do not require crazy parts or constant maintenance.
The black powder rifle becomes very viable if you have nine of them assigned to your favourites… you can throw out single-shot kills for as long as you can switch to another loaded gun. You need to be strong to carry it all, and it’s quite funny to think of your character running around with NINE blackpowder rifles slung over their back. It’s not really a viable build, but it is quite a bit of fun.
Ah, the home defence the founding fathers intended. OBSERVE, REDCOAT, AS I FIRE 9 CONSECUTIVE SHOTS , NOT ONCE RELOADING, WITH MINE MUSKETS NINE!
Isn't that what the character natty Bumppo did in the lost of the mochicans
Thought about that while playing '76, even have a few pieces of armour with legendary modifiers for reduced weapon weight.
That's pretty much what pirates back in the day did.
Carried multiple pistols so instead of reloading after firing, they drop it and pull out another one.
Ok but what if you had 9 dragons
"Ol' Painless" was a bit of a meme long before Predator. You could find numerous mooks in cartoons and minor stories with guns called Painless, the obvious reasoning behind the name being that the bullet would end the target's life before he could feel pain. That's what made Ol' Painless as a chaingun a dark joke: a chaingun doesn't kill with a single bullet and, while you wouldn't live long if that thing raked over you, you would definitely be in agony.
So just for irony?
@@dragonbornexpress5650 obviously did you read the comment
Does anyone know how to get red (stolen) items to turn into green item? Red item have a chance to just randomly disappear from your inventory and it's annoying reload a previous save (if I'm lucky) when my Ol' Painless just vanishes and I can't find it.
Fun fact: the Broc Flower Cave can bug out and spawn the regular rats with ROUS stats even without Wild Wasteland. That can make getting the Ratslayer in the early game far more difficult on higher difficulties.
I was on my way to Novac one day on my no fast travel character and was pondering the difference between the way guns work between FO3 and FNV. What I came up with may or may not make sense. Remember that in FO3 you're playing as a teenager. The Courier is a seasoned, maybe even old, veteran of the wastes. They know more about guns than a teenager who grew up literally shooting a BB gun. Thus what we see in FO3 is representative of that person's level of understanding of gunny guns that gun. They get good enough in their way to kick ass, but the Courier can just get better. They get the nuances of ammo types and proper sight picture and shot placement. I'm guessing, but sounds good. Right? I finally put my theoretical degree in small arms arts to use.
Did you happen to tell a ncr officer about this theoretical degree in small arms and did his name happen to be zach hazard
Yes, but the Lone Wanderer is still canonically a one man army, I'd personally expect the guy to handle a lever action somewhat accurately
One thing more thing that makes Medicine Stick better is the sights are far more open, so it's easier to locate and track targets
Unfortunately even at guns 100 with max strength the rear sight shakes so erratically when aiming it's hard for me to focus on the target due to the rear sight being in focus instead of ghosting like it would irl
Haven’t seen the comment but the medicine stick might be referencing Theodore Roosevelts Winchester 1895 chambered in .405 Winchester which he referred to as “big medicine”
Quick thing, there is a synthetic stock for the Remington 700 that matches the fallout 4 marksman stock except without the fallout 3 sniper rifle stock cut out
The Varmint Rifle could also pretty closely resemble the Savage Arms BTVS II
A hunting rifle build was actually my go to in Fallout 3. Very versatile, easy to repair and ammo was easy enough to come by. Lincoln’s Repeater was a great time too, you could really annihilate with that weapon.
Me too. Once I picked up Lincoln’s Repeater… it was go time.
Honestly, a cartography of fully rebuilt minutemen would be an astonoshing video
In general, the only difference between a hunting rifle and a sniper rifle in real life is your target.
The "hunting rifle" in FO4 most often resembles an "Oberez pistol" made by cutting a bolt action rifle so it can be fired with one hand.
given that is in the post war Wasteland, I can see people wanting Obrez pistols over nothing. Although the pipe guns should have been made better designed(and even include 3d printed weapons, plastic and metal) with makeshift weapon variants like the crude blowback and the makeshift anti material rifle from mods.
@@drivanradosivic1357 don't forget, there's a global resource shortage. Plastic does exist and is used, but it's likely much cheaper and more common to use wood furniture than plastic. 3d printing may or may not be a thing in the fallout universe but I won't comment for lack of knowing. Pipe weapons were a mistake. A fun idea in a vacuum but the devils advocate in my head won't stop screaming "you're gonna blow off your hand using that"
@@failkingofguitar559 Agreed, personally the wood and metal aesthetics are cool for me.
Pipe guns, make the bolt on the other side and you solve most issues(same for the rest of the guns). If made more practically, they could serve as early game weapons platform(have them for low caliber weapons and something like a Varmint rifle for a proper lower caliber bolt rifle & a Lower caliber Combat Rifle made better as a early game thing, with better mid and late game weapons to represent improvement), and have other things be a niche for other stuff(Makeshift Anti Material rifle mod makes sense for a high caliber early game weapon, not conversion of pipe bolt gun into .50 cal) which would work better.
3d printing could be a thing, the Workshop DLC practically has a machine that is something similar in concept but that makes things with ANYTHING instead of just a dedicated plastic station maker. although if we did have it, a way to have plastic mods for many weapons as well as to print out parts to make a weapon would be interesting. Actually, a series of machines where you make parts of a weapon would be cool and then you complete it at a workbench would be great.
I think I answered the Pipe gun stuff first. Making them practical is for the best, but making better alternatives like the Crude Blowback is even better.
@@drivanradosivic1357 I wasn't going to mention the Sierra madre vending machines at first, but upon reflection, that's not necessarily "3D printing" but I'll say it's close enough. The way they work isn't really explained and there's only theories floating around, but the idea that the chips are printed with common elements used to construct requested items is a personal favorite of mine. Rather than filament, the chips are broken down to their constituent elements and used instead, allowing you to print out of more than just polymers and metals
The difference between a hunting rifle and a sniper rifle is more so the quality and age of the rifle rather then use, as can be noted in the civil war where many southern soldiers in particular had there old hunting rifles and they were the snipers, but they never started to call them equipped with sniper rifles, outside of a few rifles special made for sniping like the whitworth
27:31 I think that's more a reference to the Nock's Volley Gun, at least that's what it reminds me of.
It was basically a 7-barreled flintlock intended for use by the British Navy for ship deck clearing, though no record of them being used exists.
28:50 Not just Anti-Materiel, but an Sniper Rifle, as well. With the right ammo, training, and weather conditions, the Hecate 2 can shoot a sub-MOA group at 800 meters.
Pat Harper used the Nock countless times to great effect 😂
32:27 fun fact: 7.62 mm IS .308 cal. It could be a different caliber still (for example 7.62x54mmR rather than 7.62x51) but .308 Winchester is by far the most common .308 cartridge in America so that would make no sense
If I am not mistaken, the Medicine Stick Rifle from New Vegas is named after Teddy Roosevelt’s custom 1895 Winchester Rifle that he called “Big Medicine”
he actually mentioned this in the original (non remastered) video, strange that he left it out of the remaster
You know I never really though about WHAT your Fallout 76 character looked like until seeing him on display now . Beautiful work I must say.
The chopped down hunting rifle actually resembles an IRL modification of the Mosin Nagant called the Obrez that's actually popular. Also the US military's sniper rifle for around 40-50 years was essentially just a hunting rifle.
The obrez is popular because it's neat history, but the weapon themselves sucked, they were only used because it's what was there, there would be use for shortened rifles, but you'd still be looking at a carbine kinda lengh for the them with maybe with the pistol length version being very rare or ideally being a unique variant
From what I’ve read they planned on having the cowboy repeater use 30-30 but the ammo was cut since it would only be used for a single weapon.
Brother I cannot properly express how much I needed a radking video to drop this morning. Tyvm.
Medicine Stick is my favourite rifle. I Start saving immediately after leaving goodsprings and then craft +P rounds
A video about the raiders of fallout would be cool the named groups and the differences between every games raiders like how they act how strong they can be
So, there is a video of the raiders of fo4, and really ...the raiders overall differ so little. Yes, he goes into the groups and their areas, but really, it's little more than fluffer content (thank you bethesda) Though Rad King does a good job of going into the different groups. It's still tough to differentiate between one mad white dude with a mohawk and another mad white dude with a mohawk.
To be fair, for me the .32 caliber from fo3 is meant to be either the 7,62 tokarev or the .32 NAA (an proprietary cartridge) due tô its pipboy icon, though by naming it ".32 round" the devs decided to makes It act like the .32 S&W we all know. Not sure why it was also chosen to be the hunting rifle's caliber though, 5.56 or 308 would make way more sense
In rifle’s a .32 caliber is 8mm. The hunting rifle could easily be a sporerized Mauser k98. They were all chambered in 8mm with the bullet diameter measuring .323 or .32 caliber.
@@brbilheimer And Fallout DOES tend to do more generalised cartridge calibres versus games like STALKER, Tarkov, and ArmA. So 9mm as an example can cover 9x17(.380ACP), 9x18, 9x19, 9x21 and 9x39. .50 Cal can cover .50AE, 12.7x99, and 12.7x108. .308 can cover 7.62x51 NATO and 7.62x54R and even potentially 7.62x25 Tokarev if you're feeling funky. That's just three basic examples of generalised round coverage.
Yes but that's the point I was talking about, its pipboy icon shows an pistol cartridge, that's why I mentioned those two, hell, could even be an representation from the 7,63 due to the chinese pistol. The more we think about the worse it gets
Glad to see the best Fallout game got to start off the video 😉
Old Reliable *cue Spongebob meme* is obviously intended to look like a “mare’s leg” rifle, which is what Steve McQueen’s Character on “Wanted: Dead or Alive” called his modified Winchester 1892. The term is generally a catch-all for any lever action rifle that has a sawed off barrel and stock.
Just an FYI. Dragons are no longer legacy when it comes to their legendary effects. HOWEVER, some legacy Dragons do exists, that have more explosive damage and more range (416 range to be exact). They were Meta for a while when the ammo glitch could be done, annihilating world boss in 0.2 seconds after spawning. It was both toxic and hilarious to see.
Finally, I've been waiting for this
15:15 Technically there were lever-action "rifles" in the first fallouts. The two in-game BB guns were lever-action if you look at the sprites.
Gotta love watching a rad king video as soon as it’s dropped.
Let’s go I been looking forward to these Fallout weapons remasters!
Love the video radking
The 'flintlock' skin is the Northwest Fur Trade Gun. Neither original 1892 or 1873 lever guns were in 357 mag but both can be had in that caliber today. The .357 mag wasn't even invented until the 1930s. It's 45-70 gov't not 40 - 70. The Fallout 4 lever guns all have the Kings patent loading gate and the ejection port on the wrong side. There has never been a 'left hand' lever gun.
It's a Pennsylvania flintlock rifle, it has brass inlays in the stock
@@jmuscella5 The NW Trade gun also has a full stock and the brass inlay. I own one.
nicely done radking!
The Ol'Painless and the Lincoln's Reapeter both have no spread
Always love your intro's, but this ones my favorite
The hunting rifle is actually based off a Winchester Model 70, yes. More specifically, the older Model 71 and 72 pattern rifles. The calibers they were available in at first were .32 Winchester, .32 Winchester Long, .32 Smith & Wesson, .308 Winchester, .308 Winchester Express Magnum, .338 Winchester Express Magnum, and .338 Lapua. It is a very accurate, reliable, and capable rifle. I wish we could get a .338 Lapua one in the game...
W, this was great. Also, the dragon is my favorite honestly :))))
I have one, but I don’t use it so much lol
The only thing painful about radking videos is they end.
Good stuff. Many thanks.
This was a great video radking! Are you gonna remaster the pistols of fallout?
Always good seeing DirtyDonzo in the videos! a unique specimen indeed.
I would of liked there to be a dedicated 50 cal rifle in Fallout 4.
I use the DKS mod, but I still would've liked it to be native.
agreed, we needed more base game weapons.
It's a magazine not a clip (yes, there is a difference)
7.62 x 51 and .308 are the same caliber.
Not exactly, 7.62x51 and .308 are not the same. They have slightly different headspaces, cartridge walls, and lengths. 7.62x51 chambers can also not handle the pressure of .308 ammunition.
@@NIGHTSHADE31401 Reread what I wrote.
@@hazcat640 What about it? I'm telling you the two cartridges are NOT the same lol. Unless you're saying they're both 30 Cal.
@@NIGHTSHADE31401 Cartridge is not the same as caliber.
Glad you find it amusing that you misread and very clear and specific fact.
@@hazcat640 I know, I was saying they had different brass dimensions, etc. I just misread what you said...not a big deal. I even clarified and said you were talking about them both being 30 cal. Either way both of our comments are facts.
At the end of the day though I just want to know what the hell Fallouts 5mm is...
5:42 the spiral threadding is an actual modification for bolts. Normally called spiral fluting, the fluting of the bolt lessens the surface contact the bolt has with the reviever, making it harder to jam.
Fallout 4 has two sniper rifles, the hunting rifle becomes a snper ridle when scoped yes but the combat rifle becomes a combat sniperrifle when scoped too.
Love these videos
"Twinker tom special" LMFAO. Thats funny af.
Oh and I think the trail carbine is more on the marlin 1894. Slightly different rifle than the 336, and in my opinion its better. I personally have one and it's one of my favorite rifles
One of my favorite rifle in FNV is the Cowboy Repeater and lever action rifles in general. It's my main weapon most of the time. I usually have cowgirl builds, so it fits in.
Nice to remaster old vids. Common RadKing W
I love using the hunting rifle in 76. I got a legendary with explosive rounds and modded it to the extended mag, one of the .50 cal receiver, and a medium scope. It does insane damage. I named it "Red's SV-98" so I'm glad to see that the green furniture is supposed to look like that gun.
My medium to short range weapon is a handmade rifle modded to look like an RPK and is also quite good and also good legendary effects.
Im surprised the black powder rifle doesnt have more upgrades. Could turn it into a modern black powder hunting rifle. Could give it miniball or sabot amo, smokeless powder, composite furniture, rifled or smoothe bore barrels, scopes, make it a blunderbuss, make it a volleygun, make it a percussion cap revolver rifle, etc.
Imagine if your luck was low enough that if you made and used a cap and ball there's a chance it just chain fires while reloading
@sovi8762 that would be hilarous actually. They could add that to the lever action rifles too since they use tube mags that irl had a small chance of chain detonation
This Saturday just got a hell of alot better
We know Dixon was so wasted he bought .22 ammo for his 5.56 rifle.
i remember commenting on the 1st videos remaster asking where this was and here it is.
Hey atom i just tought about it how big and powerful they are! You think you could do a cartography video avout them? You could talk about them in far harbor or even the capital wasteland idk it would be awesome to learn about your people cartography

For the fallout 3 hunting rifle reason it might be in .32 is some trader or builder rechambered the rifles to a pistol caliber for less recoil given how wired together the rifles are besides a possible plethora of what I belive to be .32 acp.
Fallout 3 makes me really want to build a Henry rifle In 10mm auto, the backwater rifle is my favorite gun in that game
Varmint Rifle ain't low tier, at least Rat Slayer isn't. That bad boy with paired with the right ammo absolutely destroys well into the mid-end game.
I know I'm not making any waves but my favorite rifle has always been ethier a plasma rifle or a gauess rifle just because of the damage output.
noticed a slip-up when talking about the hunting rifle in fallout 4;
you said the 50cal mod gives the gun slower reload times, but it actually gives faster reload times.
out of curiosity, does changing the black powder rifle from cap-lock to flint-lock change it's reload animation? because... it sort of should...
now that I'm watching you go through the firing animations on the varmint rifle, it is sort of pointless to have a thumbhole stock and then wrap your thumb over the top while firing.
I the magazines becoming longer, but not gaining ammo capacity is actually pretty easy to explain, but still dumb that it works that way. so the tube magazine requires a spring loaded plunger to push the rounds to the rear of the rifle for feeding, but that spring, still requires a minimum amount of tension to be effective, so if the sole survivor extended the tube but doesn't have a sufficiently long enough spring, he would have to add a plug behind the spring effectively reducing the capacity back to base. many hunters drop their shotgun capacity down to the absurdly low 2 round max required for waterfowl hunting in the U.S. by plugging the tubes to reduce their capacity. this then sort of begs the question why the sole survivor would bother adding the weight of the longer mag since there would be no increase to capacity, but hey, it's a viable explanation none-the-less.
Pretty sure .357 magnum didn't debut until the like 1950's~60's. Overall good video man
if i recall right it was 38 special 38s+p then 38/45 (45/38? ) then 357mag it is a newer cart
The black Powder rifle with multiple barrels would it inspired from a Knox cannon or something, a small caliber gun that had 8 or 9 barrels and could easily bruise or dislocate your shoulder if you were not careful whilst shooting it?
2 things, you personally gave me your black powder rifle in 76, 2 one time I shot a 45-70 and it about broke my shoulder, somehow a sadist decided to make a 45-80, then again that wasn't even the worst gun to fire, that would probably be some early shotguns, they could have 7 barrels, usually 12 gage they all fired at once, they eventually stopped making them because of their tendency to break bones, it was common for the center to be used for housing the ramrod, the only thing helping the recoil is the ungodly weight of the barrels
The Winchester model 70 is definitely not a generic hunting rifle. Its one of the best bolt action rifles ever made. Carlos Hathcock, a legendary Marine sniper used a Winchester model 70 along with other weapons during his time in Vietnam.
I wish the hunting rifle in 4 was better. Also that the .38 conversion gave some sort of boost. Maybe MORPHIFYIN' it into a semi auto (somehow...) having basically no recoil, a higher critical build up, lower vats cost but a low magazine and weaker shot to balance it out.
The boost is being a decent gun which fires the otherwise useless .38 ammunition.
It's not useless, it's magically turns into caps. same with flamer and 5mm, which, will be more than enough to not have to use a weapon that's suuuuuper weak. I'd appreciate it if there was ever an actual NEED to conserve ammo, like a survivalist mod or something. @@DaDunge
Food of fallout part 4? Things like the tato, broc flower, and xander root?
I love All American. I always found it really useful and always had ammo to spare.
...and now the Rifles category is complete. Nice.
[Everyone liked that]
The real world reason for why the fallout 3 lever action shoots pistol rounds could be becuse that model of lever action does not have a strong enough action to handle the chamber pressure of any of the rifle rounds that were out at the time
A comment to thank you for another video which I can sleep too
27:10 thats that West Virginia voodoo for ya
I like the tremors reference.
RadGOAT
The first lever action rifle is in base game fo3, Point lookout just made them more available
@15:10 Rats of unusual size... Inconceivable
Technically, if they were smaller than usual that would mean a rat is of an unusual size
You missed a fact about the This Machine, since It can be obtained via a quest given to the player by the supply shack merchant in Conway at Mc Carran Airport
I had the dragon but I had to drop it to get away from some enemies after doing a public event I hate being overe encumbered from loot
Me being sort of a gun nut, I'd just like to politely say that the hecate II is pronounced: Hay, Cot, Ay with the t being rather solid. Anyways I like the videos a ton so I'd like to say good job on it all.
It's called the medicine stick as a reference to president Theodore Roosevelt's safari rifle "big medicine"
you gotta check the dks-501 mod for fallout 4 :all the old nostalgia combined with fo4 modding bad-assery !!!
21:36 40-70g my favorite
Theodore Roosevelt called his large calibre lever action hunting rifle for dangerous game his 'Big Medicine' cant recall if it was 45-70 but might explain the Medicine Stick.
@RadKing any plans on some more sleepytime videos? Thanks!
"Here's your one chance fancy don't let me downnnnn" -Reba
Nice
3:41 hello there
For the lincoln repeater, .44 magnum is still a rimmed cartridge. That round, .357, 30-06, and vvarious other calibers
30:24 the courier get yeeted by his own gun
I like to think all the seemingly out of place guns like the AMR are the result of designs converging in the future, and allies having standardized arsenals. Would make sense for the gun designs of the far future being so good that various countries just say "screw it" and use each other's guns.
For the record, .308 and 7.62 are basically the same cartridge... though usually .308 is more powerful.
You can use 7.62 in .308 weaons but you cant necessarily use .308 in a 7.62 gun.
Same concept for .357 mag and .38 special, .44 mag and .44 special, 5.56 and .223 etc.
maybe the hunting rifle in fallout 3 that uses 32 caliber bullets with a bigger casing but was bundled together with standard the standard 32 for gameplay purposes
The Lincoln rifle was always my goto in fallout 3.
Hey homie you missed a unique rifle in your rifle remake video ''The Longshot'' which can only be obtained via mutated events
Also regarding The Dragon 2 and 3 star variants aren't legacy but rather rifles with the OLD explosive effect are. Old as in dealing a set amount of damage per explosion rather than a % of the weapons damage I think. Or maybe it was in reverse? I don't recall
i did not realise, by the time i start watching this, this was uploaded 3 minutes ago
22:46; Hey, how did Kilroy get here?!
i thought ol painless was a nickname for artillery back in the day
Can we get a video on the Propaganda of Fallout?
I think Medicine Stick is a refrence to a rifle Teddy Roosevelt called his "Big Medicine"
The hunting rifle is also in F2.
