GUNSMITHING - High (12+) Level Fabrication?

[quote=“AseaHeru, post:15, topic:3621”]I would image that many of the weapon mods in game could be used to make guns.

So a pistol grip, rifled barrel, etc. = pistolriflethingie221[/quote]

It’s clever and a few should probably be useable in that way but not all of them, the rifled barrel for example is intended for use on a shotgun (and should make it unsuitable for firing shot, haven’t used it so I don’t know.)

AseaHeru · 2013-10-23T17:05:36.000Z

Still, the idea still sora stands.

Can I make a double barrel mag fed shotgun? That would hold 6 or 8 shots? Mag would look like this:

|O-O|
|O-O|
|O-O|
|O-O|

AseaHeru · 2013-10-24T18:52:44.000Z

Wouldn’t have to be belt fed.

Did anyone mention belt-fed double-barrell automatic shotgun?
Count me in.

FunsizeNinja123 · 2013-10-24T19:31:25.000Z

I said it was mag fed, but…

AseaHeru · 2013-10-25T17:05:24.000Z

You know that we have large capacity shotguns already, right?
And that they are full auto?

And that a full 30 round mag of 12 gauge shotshells weighs around 8 pounds?

I STILL WANT AN AUTOMATIC DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN

Double barrel shotguns should have an alt fire mode where you fire both the barrels at the same time. That’s one reason to use 'em.

Also, WHY CAN’T WE MAKE DOUBLE BARREL PIPE SHOTGUNS

Acquire Two AA12s

Wield one in each hand

…?

Profit

FunsizeNinja123 · 2013-10-25T20:14:09.000Z

I mean, I could just duct tape two saigas together but the recipe isn’t in there and my fingers would probably not reach the other trigger.

And we both know that you can’t dual wield anything.

system · 2013-10-25T20:18:04.000Z

How about adding a little stick to the dut-taped saigas that you can actually pull to pull both triggers at once?

GIVE EM THE STICK! DON’T GIVE EM THE STICK!

As fun as this would be, actually making anything more complex than a muzzleloader or a zipgun generally requires the use of some relatively heavy machinery (a lathe and/or drill press at the very least unless you’re insanely skilled). You could probably find said hardware in LMOE shelters, cabin sheds, public works etc, but I don’t think even a UPS is strong enough to actually power them for a reasonable length of time; you’d need some sort of generator in place to do that.

did someone say

GUNSMITHING?

I went to school for gunsmithing. it’d be interesting to see a feature in cata about this,

also I want to see the ability to make a Remington 1740 870+870+some metal bits =Remington 1740. two recievers held together rigged up to one trigger and one pump. ofcourse in real life you need a left hand 870 and a normal right hand 870 but for cata we could probably let it be. unless…

Left handed options for firearms.

A gun is about as complicated to build as a bicycle. As long as you are not expecting to end up with a world-class, professional result, you can basically put things together using readily available tools, and a well-written guide. Inevitably there will be complications, these can usually be solved. A man named Boris built an AK out of a shovel and a parts kit. I think guns should start to be able to be built at Mechanics 5, starting with copies of simple designs, and eventually at say, Mechanics 8, allowing for the building of tuned, custom versions of common firearms as well as silly things like belt fed automatic 40mm grenade launchers that will only work for specific playstyles (cow mutant or power armor guy).

In my opinion custom guns will have to go from the pipe guns and the likes already in game, adding more recipes before having a whole “custom” side to gun crafting. That’s a solid first step and allow us to toy with different homemade gun concepts.

I kinda want more air-powered weapons.

Think about air pressurized shotguns.

Yeeeesssss.

Electricity is supposedly planned for future updates in the form of generators, and people already use non-vehicles as ad-hoc appliances, so yeah. The problem would just be the machinery.

Speaking of which, would it be possible to create/move certain machinery for fortresses (like the trash compactor and, since we’re on the subject, a lathe)? It’d probably require a lot of skill and possibly a lot of materials, but hay. Nothing like your own lathe in your own fortress.
