I did a playthrough like this some time ago. I like to imagine my courier read too many WW2 history books and ever since Benny shot him in the head,it scrambled his mind so much,he thinks he's fighting Italians in North Africa.

[@TheBrickMaker]

I like the backstory to your courier, its something I wanna add more to these challenges

Thanks so much, any comparison to Mitten Squad is a huge compliment. If people enjoy them ill keep making them

[@bo-dine7971]

The Thompson SMG in NV is actually the same model as the one used in WW2. The Original "Tommy Gun" was different, not just visually & in how the handguard is but even the mechanism was quite different. The REALLY interesting note though is that the OG mechanism used "Blische Lock", which was a pseudo-scientific principle which dictated that if two varying-hardness metals rub together @ fast speed & high pressure they actually temporarily lock (on a molecular level). Of course any physicists & majority of gun experts at the time didn't believe it but Thompson & a few more arms designers actually produced a few rifles with this principle utilized. However when the Thompson (years later) was looked at by the army they turned it into a conventional blow-back design, only making it a few OZ heavier but much cheaper to make. Anyway, point is the Thomson is a really odd gun if you look into it's history & while for the time it came out it was fine, by the time of WW2 it was pretty bad especially with the army's mods to make it much cheaper to manufacture. ...and this same lackluster gun was sold for insane amounts of money to other countries in need of help during WW2.. Part of history America doesn't talk about, ever. Even Britain couldn't afford to buy enough Thompsons from America with all their stolen Afrikaan Gold...

[@semajniomet981]

Where would the Huot Automatic Rifle be in comparison to the Tommy in terms of quality?

[@slyllamademon2652]

Advice: the 9mm pistol, frag grenades, battle rifle, this machine, .45 pistol, .45 SMG, combat knife, hatchet, missile launcher, automatic rifle, incendiary grenades, satchel charge, and time bomb should all be available for your use. Also Contreras has the ammo you need. Also use the combat helmet for your headgear.

[@TheArizonaRanger.]

Missile launcher is a bit of a stretch, but I guess it's the closest you'll find to the bazooka.

[@dereksimes2548]

Can I also get chances knive for the ww2 gameplay?

[@nolanrandall2690]

9mm smg as well as although it is not a .45 it is still based off the M3 grease gun just rechambered

[@Man77772]

The Combat helmet is a stretch because if anything it looks more like a stalhelm than an M1

[@natekatchuk3858]

Plus the 357 magnum revolver looks like a cowboy pistol which could've been used by ww2 vets

.... You didn't do the entire dead money dlc for the BAR... How dare you.. Just kidding, very good and funny video and I'll subscribe 😄😄

[@TheBrickMaker]

I forgot to mention that in the video but I actually don't think its possible. Dead money is such a pain of a DLC, getting the BAR and only using it through the DLC is a challenge by itself, it would have made the play time so much longer. It's a shame as I really like the weapon in my casual playthroughs.

[@CadenHall-w4l]

The 9mm SMG and Pistol are both WW3 guns, so is the Automatic Rifle from Dead Money, the Bowie Knife, the Brush Gun, the .45 SMG and Pistol, the .44 Revolver, the 357 Revolver, the Hunting Rifle, the Cowboy Repeater, the Broad Machete, and the Frag Grenades as well. Some soldiers used one handed shovels, and some did use knives like cleavers, but the list I named is everything you could have used.

[@gerwaanhartfield7261]

Lol he said do do 😂😂😂

[@williammanning3174]

The 9mm submachine gun in Doc Mitchel's house is an M3 "grease gun", used by the United Stated during WW2. The real ones actually fired .45 ACP though. No big deal thouth since the "Battle Rifle" is really an M1 Garrand which fired 30-06 8n real life while the game has it chambered for .308. Since they're playing loose with the ammo, I'd just consider the 9mm automatic pistol to be a 1911 which also fires .45 ACP in real life...unless you order one with a different caliber from a manufacturer.

[@rudolfantlerofficial]

The 9mm pistol is a Browning Hi-Power, so it being a 9mm pistol is accurate. The .45 Automatic Pistol from Honest Hearts is a 1911. He could've used it for this challenge as well since it was utilized in WWII, but it is what it is.

[@semajniomet981]

`4:45 To be fair, the 3D Fallout games had a pretty wonky aiming system, so it's probably not all your fault that your bullets went wide. Just blame XCOM luck. It's easier that way.

[@moisesmunguiafalloutmoises112]

Also I have watched the video recently and since you mentioned that you want to do a build that would side with Mr House and looking how you played as a World War II Soldier and wanting to do it, it sounds like having your solder side with him kinda sounds like desertion from the NCR and becoming a mercenary instead of a soldier. And I know that Mr house is the only choice you have but you could side with other factions although I kind of thought if you would play as a Vietnam War soldier or Rambo if you want to you could make it as an build

[@TheBrickMaker]

In my head, the WW2 could pick house as hes the only American left from that time

Honest Hearts has a Thompson SMG and an M1911. Dead Money has a BAR (though its more trouble than its worth) Vanilla game has a 9mm smg thats based off the m3 grease gun. Theres also an M1 Garand called This Machine. Easiest way to get it is getting a science skill of 50,hacking Contreras terminal at McCarran then going to the NCR officer interrogating a Centurion.

Definitely a good playthrough, loved it! Quick question, are you Scottish? You can probably tell by the question that I'm American, it's just a little hard to tell vs Irish or Welsh when I'm across the pond. Personal question, though, totally understand if you'd rather not say. Internet, etc. Back to the actual content though, I guess it's fitting that a WWII soldier, probably an American at Omaha, would side with House. Total capitalist, with the smug, slick look; got lots of scientific inventions and ideas everywhere that would utterly wow the soldier; all high-and-mighty civilized, to the point of strongman-ism, but also against outright totalitarianism, so against the Legion. I'm more of a Yes Man, "I wish the Followers could run things without being an actual state" kind of guy, but hey, we're all fans and gamers here.
