[@sim.frischh9781]

Moving the ejection port to the "wrong" side is something many 1st person shooter games do to give the player something to see happening when they shoot on the weapon as the "backside" usually has not much happening on normal weapons. It´s a psychological choice more than anything. But yes, someone who KNOWS their guns is often irritated by that. Those mods do really look great, thanks for these!

[@ChrissieBear]

Never seen it outside of Fallout 4.

[@sim.frischh9781]

@@ChrissieBear I think it was done in RAGE and in at least one of the famous 1st person shooter, not sure whether it was Call of duty or Medal of Honor, plus some minor stuff, especially the older titles.

[@fpspwny995]

It originates from the original mod version of Counter-Strike...but not for that reason. One of the developers of the mod was left handed. So when he designed the guns he modeled and animated them from the perspective of a left handed shooter. When they were finished he simply mirrored them over to the opposite side of the screen. The end result was right handed characters using left handed guns...which ended up catching on because you can also see the bullet casings fly out of the gun more easily.

[@aaronmoore7059]

The shotgun conversion for the handmade revolver makes sense, kind of. Shotgun shells and pistol rounds are both relatively low pressure rounds. Homemade shotguns and pistols are pretty common. Rifle calibers would be a lot harder to make into improvised weapons

I’ll throw in an attempting there

[@caseyhall2320]

FYI: While the Luger was designed with that interesting top mechanism, it moved so fast that the human eye wouldn't really notice it. So the mod author just had the animations slowed waaaaay down for the sake of presentation it seems. Or possibly "I worked so hard on this shit, I'll be damned if people don't actually see and recognize my work!" lol. Also, that Select Marksman Rifle looks dope! But....how exactly does it get the ammunition from the front of the grip furniture to all the way back to the bolt? It's confusing and a bit goofy, but I do like the artistic idea of it, haha.

[@SolusLupi]

I would guess mabye a spring system, something like shotgun tube perhaps?

[@bdawgrise6961]

Well this one is handmade so it may be that the gunsmith who made it didn’t have parts or something. I don’t know, it’s the post apocalypse I’ll make the animations lore friendly somehow dammit!

[@caseyhall2320]

@@SolusLupi I could see that, but there'd have to be another lever to push back the spring and lock it in place between each magazine reload and each shot, which this gun doesn't seem to have. What a funny mod, lol. Still cool though.

[@caseyhall2320]

@@bdawgrise6961 lol, true.

[@crackingly]

To me the mechanism on the makeshift luger would probably move slower since it isn't nearly as well refined as a real luger. Also I'd imagine rust and other crap would slow it down by jamming it up. For the marksman rifle I'm not exactly a firearms expert so I have no clue how that could work on a bolt action set up, but it's still REALLY cool and a fun idea.

[@lurkingedge]

LOVE the skewer launcher. I never liked the vanilla missile launcher. Low starting damage, ridiculous weight with magazines, lock on absolute cheese. But you need an "oh sugar!" weapon. The skewer launcher can do that, plus stealth sniping, and being a better railway rifle.

[@user-nl2kk7gf9i]

Man I really love the Zap Gun, It's feel really blend in and made for the Fallout world, unlike Bethesda ridiculous guns design.

[@6lbs._onion]

Immediately fell in love with the Post Apocalyptic Handmade Weapon pack the first time I saw it, especially the Laser Musket. The LMG came second.

[@requiemagent3014]

A .50 BMG is not capable of penetrating power armor. No idea why nobody gets this right anymore but US power armor was specifically made to withstand the tankshell of a Chinese Chimera tank round. That is what decided the battle in Alaska. Yeah this really annoys me. Power Armor is basically indestructible in the wasteland. Only energy weapons can damage it which is not widely available for most people. It also does NOT run of fusion cells. Another thing that drives me insane.

[@brettalexander220]

i really like the way the pipe gun overhaul makes the pipe bolt action sniper into a bootleg SVD. the asthetics are really nice, especially the adorable little pouch it puts on the marksman stock

[@seansean7814]

The Tomacuzi might be my favorite fallout 4 weapon mod of all time. It's SO satisfying to use, and the sound design is top notch.

[@stranger5011]

15:50 i've never seen a loading mechanism like that in a gun before, but boy do I love it!

[@yolomcswaggens9482]

This is honestly very refreshing. As much as I appreciate the details and effort behind mods like RU556, MP5, MK18, etc., They just look too damn pristine and polished visually....and not many good reskins out there...(

[@nicholascauton9648]

True. As much as I love seeing real-world (pre-war) firearms like the MK18 and Glock 19 among others, I don’t believe everyone in the wasteland should be able to be carrying those. Some may come across those in a just-so-happen circumstance. But to arm every single raider bandit wield military and police grade firearms like those is borderline ridiculous.

[@BradsLife06]

Dude recently gotten way better at modding my fallout and your videos helped and makes it a breeze to find high quality mods, appreciate it man!

[@ChrissieBear]

18:30 In Fallout 1 and 2 the standard issue rifle of the US in the 20th century was an AK variant, so it makes sense for Fallout.

[@idonthavetime2reply14]

You make really great lists of weapons (and more!), but this list is my favorite. I enjoy all the weapon mods (modern included), but many of these type of handmade/makeshift weapons have a special place in my heart when playing Fallout.

[@anuglysheep]

This video was great. Exactly the kind of thing ive been looking for for a long time. My dream come true would be a video on overhauling enemies. Factions, ghouls/creatures, or both if possible.

[@shitsniffa]

OH MY GOD THANK YOU I've been wanting to put together a scrap weapons "survival"ish load order and this is so helpful. I plan on doing these with desperados overhaul and that one gas mask mod, maybe some gameplay overhauls too. Thanks!!

[@centuriondominicus7871]

For the handmade rifle i recommend kalashsmith or Handmade Rifle Extension myself which is on pc and xbox, as the come with right handed animations, and while both extend the customization of the gun, kalashsmith does it more so but letting you choose grip, stock, lower barrel ghard, and upper barrel guard all separately, adds new mag types, the firing mode is separate from the receiver which should be standard tbh, but Bethesda logic so, finally it adds some skins allows you to clean the gun up. The only downsides are size, so i imagine more pc players would go for that than xbox, and, kalashsmith only, I dont think its actually done, ik its not on xbox but thats because it hasnt been updated in forever and was uploaded by another individual than the creator, also on xbox kalashsmith doesnt have reload sounds… idk why

[@ItsYaBoyBrandyBoy]

nice, i'll try em out

[@AndyJP]

This is a great list, thank you very much for this video! I personally wish all weapons in Fallout looked like this with the exception of guns that may have been engineered by tech-savvy groups like the Enclave or BOS, completely eliminating the chance of any pre-war weapon being discovered in working condition 200 years later. But judging by the popularity of modern weapons on the Nexus, I'm sure my idea would be really unpopular! :)

[@walnzell9328]

The Select Marksman rifle's loading mechanism may be similar to the French Modele 1886 Lebel. Which was a tube fed, bolt action rifle. Tube fed like a shotgun. The magazine on the Select Marksman rifle is essentially skipping the tedious task of putting in all the bullets from the top, and instead loading them into the tube directly.

Theres a mod called the handmade or homemade smg, it's deadass a luty. Decent customization options but could be expanded. Apparently there's some people trying to design good looking scrap weapons to replace most guns in fallout 4 which I greatly appreciate, fallout 4 needs more craft built guns that would actually function.

[@Thetravelingmonke]

The reason for all the guns being left handed is mainly for aesthetic purposes but if it bothers you even if it isn’t canon think of it just being where the world has more lefties

[@crimzonplays1134]

The select marksman rifle makes my head hurt. With a bullpup, like the one made mostly of bakelite which has an extended bolt to reach to the magazine, it could load rounds into the chamber from a seemingly impossible distance. But with that thing, the mag is TOO far forward, and extraction from the magazine into the chamber would be a nightmare to design, and might not even function.

Ok so 12 guage chamber pressure is actually lower then some handguns so it would actually be easyer to make a revolving shotgun then a full length rifle round like the .308

[@IdleDrifter]

Had Bethesda had been smart and kept the old Skills, Perks, and Traits system of Fallout 1,2, and Tactics. Using the Skill percentage system to allow access to different perks depending on your specializations. A gunslinger perk that allows you to dual wield pistols would have been awesome.

[@the_inquisitive_inquisitor]

In real life a 12ga shotgun is by far the easiest gun to handcraft. As long as you're only shooting spreadshot you _don't really_ need a heat treated barrel because of the low operating pressure.

The AK mods seem to combine well, except for the audio, as neither the shots nor the reloading have sound.
