Favorite Weapon from Fallout (series)?

My favorite weapon in the two fallout games I played was the Chinease Assault Rifle. It was strong and reliable. I had one adventure with a chinease assault rifle that started at 90% condition with 3000 rounds. I carved a bloodly path across the wasteland taking down countless enemies(I never refilled my ammo or stimpacks) and when I was found shelter after my long journey I had four broken body parts, 3 health bars, a bent tin can and 0 .556 rounds left.
In fact my last kill was the most badass I ever had on that game. I encountered a deathclaw and I had a full health bar(Drank alot of radiated water from a lake and used all my rad away) a powerfist that was nearly broken and a grenade.
The deathclaw was at 3/4 health(I have no clue what wounded it). I ran up to it and smacked it in the face a few times before it beat me mostly to death. I had to run on top of a big rock we it could not get me. I have 1/4 of my health or so and I had a plan. I threw my last grenade at the deathclaws head as a jumped down off the rock and smacked the deathclaw(In VATS) in the face breaking my power fist. The combination of the SMACK and the grenade blowing up in my face. I felt like Batman at the end of Arkham Asylum.

Dead Money's Auto-Rifle. Nothing decimates the Quarry-horde of Deathclaws quite like it.
That or the golden gloves. Who doesn't love knocking some dope off of his feet?
Oh Baby! was infinately more useful though.
For Fallout 3? Geez, that game had better armors and more functioning weapons, but it wasn't very flashy.
I'd say the Blackhawk and the Combat Shotgun were my two most used.

Also do not use if you have any other companions besides Marcus. Whenever i gave Marcus any kind of burst fire weapon, Cassidy would die at the beginning of the next random encounter.Jandipoo said:
OT: Turbo Plasma Rifle from Fallout 1 and 2 (a.k.a. Plasma Caster with accelerator mod in New Vegas). Honorable mention to Pew Pew in New Vegas (especially after the most recent patch); with all the crit boost perks and Laser Commander this is brutal.
Fun, but terribly unreliable. Sure, it's amazing if you use it at noon... but early morning or late evening, you might as well be using a squirt gun (and not the squirt gun from Tactics, either...). ...which i now realize was idiotic of me to point out, since it's the first thing it mentions in the Vault entry.

Winchester Model 70 aka. Hunting Rifle.
Either in .308 Winchester or .325 Winchester short magnum (in Fallout3 it's chambered for .32rimfire, but .325WSM is the real world version of the .32 chambering) it gets the job done and it's the most reliable weapon for long wasteland treks.

A .357 with the works. Long barrel, reinforced chamber, etc. I like the Ranger Sequoya as much as the next guy, but when it comes to availability, maintainability, and bad-assedness I can't put it down. Plus I think it comes out better than a fully-modded .44, because the .44 has got next to no mods, or they're hard to get.
Call me boring, but probably the standard hunting rifle from Fallout 3. It's accurate, does decent damage and it's easy to find ammo for it. It's saved my worthless hide plenty of times early on in my explorations of the Wasteland.
Just call it Tactics. Adding the BoS tends to cause people to confuse that game with the atrocious BoS console games. Tactics may not have been canon, or an RPG, but it was still a damn good game.Kukulski said:
YCS/186. Instant death and hilarious ragdolling to anyone, anywhere. Although the matter modulator is pretty fun too from a "walk into a legion camp and instantly disintegrate everyone" perspective if you build your character to use it.
My Hunting Rifle was my companion throughout Fallout 3, stayed that way right up until Broken Steel and from them on I switched to Plasma Rifles and Power Armour.
