The Ranger Sequoia reminds me of a story I have from playing modded Fallout 4 with a childhood friend: I tend to prefer energy weapons, but they always love the cowboy style of weapons and the whole aesthetic of the NCR Desert Rangers. I don't remember the exact circumstances, but they having some rough times and I decided to treat them next time they came over to play with me. I installed a mod that added the Hunting Revolver with a Ranger Sequoia unique, went with their character to get the Sequoia, then set up a footlocker at their base with the weapon inside before returning to the position they left off at when they last played. They really appreciated it, when we were able to play together again. Because of this, the Sequoia always makes me think of them.

From a realism standpoint it makes sense why the 44. can’t fan the hammer. Fanning the hammer comes from when single action revolvers were the only option but even then it was only used as trick to entertain people. Fanning wouldn’t work if the revolver was a double action because the cylinder will only rotate as the trigger is pulled. So you’d basically just be trying to shoot the same spent cartridge. But it’s the fallout universe so logic is nonexistent so it still could be a thing all things considered
@hanzzel60869 ай бұрын
Well, that depends on the double action. Most double actions I know of can be used as single actions because their cylinders rotate when the hammer is cocked, doesn't matter how it is cocked. Of course, there is no shortage of double action-only revolvers either. And you would normally be doing it to increase trigger sensitivity and improve accuracy.
@livid_spider9 ай бұрын
@@hanzzel6086 all I know is when I tried fanning my double action it wouldn’t work. That maybe because of the revolver I have (a 357 Smith and Wesson that can shoot double and single action) but I’m sure the cylinder wouldn’t rotate unless the trigger was actually squeezed and released, but I only tried it with the an empty cylinder and dummy rounds but I doubt anything different will happen with live rounds.

I was struck by that date mentioned for the black powder pistol, so I had to check. But yeah a single shot percussion cap pistol would be a little archaic for 1850. Black powder weapon would make sense for a post apocalypse, though. They're easier to create, and the ammunition can be crafted with nothing more than some molds and a campfire, as opposed to requiring special presses for brass-cased ammo. There was a show about an apocalypse that wiped out all electronic technology and the main authority used muskets, because they could make them and reload them without needing electrically-powered machines. More modern guns did exist, but the ammunition was hard to find, since no new ammo could be made. There was one scene where a rebel with a modern sniper rifle was really cleaning house on some of the authority soldiers, until he ran out of the 10 or 15 rounds he had.

Fun fact: The .357, .41 and .44 Magnums were all made by adding one 10th of an inch to the cartridge of their respective Specials (Turns out that the .38 Special’s true calibre is .357) and this is why they can all fire their respective Specials. However the round sitting 1/10th of an inch further back in the cylinder means that the bullet begins travelling inside the cylinder and this would cause excess wear on the “forcing cones” or the start of the barrel. I’m told that more modern guns are made of harder metals so they might bear this excess wear better than the older guns although some disagree. For any movie fanatics who know of “Dirty Harry” movies, the original movie credited with bringing the .44 Magnum to such a level of worldwide fame that the Model 29 was sold out around the world and impossible to buy for months, the titular Harry Callahan says in the second movie, “Magnum Force” that he uses a “light special” round so by his own testimony he didn’t use Magnums but only fired .44 specials through his big revolver.

Well as RATM once said, "revolva!' Bro I just got to the end and I can't believe that was 40 min. I was making a coffee and watering my plants while listening and it just flew by like a .44 slug

I know it would be ridiculous but I'd love for the next game to have a revolver that fires shotgun shells or .50 rounds. Even 5mm would be cool.

It's worth noting that the S&W Model 29, and .44 Magnum, we're originally designed for handgun hunting. It also came out in the 50s, so very appropriate for Fallout.

Hey man this is regarding the code 0451. That the code 0451 shows up in so many video games because that was the door code to Looking Glass Studios in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I remember it being the elevator code in Deux Ex. Jensen has to use this to use the elevator in the first stage. It is also the door code for the first locked room in Bioshock 2 where the code is written on the door backwards in the steamed glass.

In fo76 the blunderbuss can be found at prickets fort in a display case, although static world items and weapons are 1st come 1st serve per server (easy work around is a fo1st private server) and the Ranger Sequoia in foNV becomes absurdly common if you gain too much ncr infamy, like literally every other fast travel near an ncr patrol or base spawns a death squad specifically for little old you lol after lvl 16 at least 1 squad member usually always has 1 plus a handful of 45/70 gov. rounds 👍 I appreciate your content, BEHOLD THE POWER OF ATOM

The likelihood has to why the cowboy revolver. Worked like a shotgun. was because during the wild west, there was a technique that cowboys would do where they would Cut 2 on the tip of the bullet so that when it impacted the target, it would break apart, do more damage.

Been a while since ive played but pretty sure thats exactly what arthur/john does in rdr2 when upgrading rounds at a campfire, never knew it was a genuine thing from the era. Would be cool to see someone do some tests with the method today.

@@royykevern1077 Yeah, you can watch some old cowboys movies. You'll see it in some documentaries reference it haven't actually finished Red dead redemption 2. But I look forward to seeing that

I believe the reason there are so many .32 pistols in FO3 is that they are a VERY easily concealable weapon that would've been popular in metropolitan areas

As for an in-world reason why the .357 is .357: For all we know, they're a post-war creation and the loading gate is for economical production. .357 is a rare pistol cartridge that's both good as a black powder cartridge (.38 began as one, and .357 only differs outside of load data for safety) *and* properly utilizes smokeless powder (actually getting a solid speed boost). That it's great as a carbine cartridge too would make it an obvious pick for anyone setting up a gunmaking industry from scratch and would be selling to people who might not have consistent access to smokeless powder.

My favourite revolver I've gotten in Fallout 4 was a Western Revolver with the Explosive Legendary effect that dropped from one of the Bloodworms in Dry Rock Gulch in Nuka World. One of the few times I've gotten a Legendary item that perfectly fits the build I was using, as I had both the Gunslinger and Demolition Expert perks! Good times.

The Kellogg's Pistol model is actually based on a real world revolver called the S&W 629 Competitor.

Hey! So quick info tidbit, but the 451 used in System Shock and other ImSims isn’t actually a reference to Fahrenheit 451, as cool as that would be, but in fact it was just the code to the office of the devs who made System Shock. It’s a very common and understandable thing to think though, but all future references date all the way back to System Shock 1 and 2
