    IT'S NEARLY HERE!!!

    *ahem*

    So Fallout 4 is so close we can almost taste it BUT it's not quite here yet and we have a little more time to lay out our plans for it. Today I want to know what weapons can you see yourself maining first? Will you be packing pistols, shooting shotguns or maybe trying out some crazy science weapons with the new customization mechanics?

    Either crazy sciency weapons, or specialized one handed guns, like exploding round chambered revolvers, or tesla cannon rifles

    To date my first Fallout characters have been western style gunslingers with appropriately themed weapons and clothing. It's a tradition that will be hard to break.

    The biggest stick I can find, preferably one that's on fire 

    I'll probably have a pistol or two on the side for when running in with the aforementioned stick would get me killed, my character won't be a complete idiot.

    That magnum rifle would make me cry if it's in the game. My first main weapon will be a rifle; snipers and marksman rifles is what I plan to spend the game using.

    Shotgun.

    Either a semi/pump or full automatic high tech drum magazine combat shotgun ... Or a good old fashioned long double barrel shotgun.

    I really, really want there to be revolver shotguns. What do you think, Henson? Plausible?

    Hey ... They do exist in the real world in smaller gauges. It would be crazy to have a 12 or maybe even a 20 gauge revolver shotgun. My hand hurts just thinking about that recoil...

    But good news is it's a game so I am hoping they exist in post apocalyptic Boston!

    I will cry happy tears if we can craft different ammo types. From what I have seen, I am not too sure.

    You could do so in New Vegas

    Yes ... Which is why I am hoping 4 will have this feature ...

    I'm 99% sure that is not a returning feature. If you look at the ammo in the current demo version of the pip-boy app, shotguns don't appear to have variable ammo types. Instead, it's just listed as "shotgun shells" like in FO3.

    I am a Soldier when it comes to guns, I will have a assault rifle most part, sniper rifle for far away enemies, shotgun for close range and a pistol or my sidearm. might make a Rocket launcher and be like the solder from TF2 or make a Pyro mantic weapon for a Pyro themed.  Grenades if I want to throw things. I always been a Merc type of character.

    yeah, same with Fire-Axes. I want to have the Pyro's Melee weapon. I might make a shishkebab type weapon for my inner Pyro.

    Probably sciencey with small guns maybe. I'm going to make the ultimate janitor, who sweeps the streets of the wasteland.

    After seeing some gameplay and customization I think I'm going to go mad scientist weapons instead

     I'm an old school kind of guy. So I'll pick a good ol' lever action rifle and a double barreled shotgun, so I can maximize the gore coming from exploding some heads.

    I'll probably decide on the fly. I like long guns, like rifles and shotguns and stuff, so I'll likely go with stuff like that. I'd like to keep it within mostly realistic-looking stuff, rather than the really ridiculous boxy stuff.
