    Gun Control

    Why would they use potato guns for that? They have real guns they straw purchase. Less work to get a girlfriend or even a neighbor to buy a gun, give it to you, and tell the police the gun was stolen. Heck, I'm fairly certain more people are shot with a bow and arrow than a potato gun, but...

    Gun Control

    I'll note this is factually incorrect. That's more like 99.9% of firearms were made in a factory. You also miss out on potato guns, pipe rifles, etc. One of the newer buzzwords in US media is "ghost guns", along with "Assault weapon" and the older "Saturday Night Special." One can assemble...

    Gun Control

    About the Orlando Night club shooting, it should come as no surprise that there are two very different responses. On one side, you have the anti-gun groups such as the Gays Against Guns. The belief is that such violence will not happen again if no one has a gun. On the other side, you have...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Overall, they are legal with a federal tax stamp. Something like 38 or so states don't have any local regulations, just the Federal tax stamp. The other states have other restrictions. In California, they're banned from private ownership, but I believe Class 2 or 3 manufacturers may possess them.

    What happens to freed slaves?

    They have weird destinations when freed. Most are disabled after a short while because they don't have to be accounted for. There are a very few exceptions. At the beginning of the Pitt, you can free a guy named Prosper and a couple other slaves, and if they are not killed when escaping...

    New Vegas has ruined fallout 3 for me

    Well, it's all gleaned from Bethesda's responses (assuming that they are true to their word) as well as their tendencies in development style. New Vegas will have no affect on Bethesda's future Fallout development, most likely meaning it will take place far from the West. Massachussetts...

    Could Mister Burke be an Enclave agent?

    There's more evidence of Burke being a frikkin' Frumentarii than there is for him being an Enclave agent. Burke dresses a bit like Vulpes, he uses underhanded measures to destroy his foes, etc. Is trying to destroy Megaton to make a "nobler future" the same way the Legion does. He has more...

    It is worth playing Fallout 3?

    Fallout 3 is a ride, in the way a Michael Bay movie is a fun action flick. Once you've played through it once or twice, you've seen it all, though.

    How is Marcus alive?

    Different cells in the body do regenerate at different rates, and the brain generally does not renew its cells as often as others (as a matter of fact, the cerebral and visual cortex cells are there from birth). So while the body remains young, the brain will eventually use itself up...

    How is Marcus alive?

    She may not be referencing age, but the expectancy of life in the Wastes under the conditions affecting everyone. While physically hardier, super mutants are about 30% less intelligent and likely to fail in certain survival situations. Or, the short answer is pseudoscience. The long...

    Interested in a real Underground Vault for Fallout LARP?

    Bear in mind that there are actual shelters like this out there for the truly rich. http://www.terravivos.com/ and http://www.survivalcondo.com/ are two of the better known. A "Theme park" version could work (if a lot resting on the niche demand, plus the whole idea of it being trademarked...

    Emblem of the 827th bombardment squadron of the 484th Bombardment Wing. Google will also bring up mentions of this emblem belonging to the 41st bomb squadron of the 484th Bombardment wing. But that squadron doesn't exist in history, apparently.

    Question about the relationship between NCR/Brotherhood

    The Enclave and other old American tech is precisely why the BoS went after the NCR. The NCR took down Enclave outposts and basically drove them into hiding (small groups like the Remnants are mostly all that's left), but kept the technology like the Vertibirds, energy weapons and the power...

    Pope Resigns, World Cares (Not)

    Just to demonstrate just how much people are predicting who the possible Papabile are, here's a few: João Braz de Aviz: A Brazilian, Prefect of Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. Generally a conservative, has made some roundabout criticisms of...

    Pope Resigns, World Cares (Not)

    There was a feeling that Benedict was elected pope after the passing of John Paul II to be an interim Pope who would just keep thing stable. John Paul II was well-liked and anyone who followed him would have had tremendous shoes to fill and during a time when the child abuse scandals were...
