- Plasma rifle - YES
- Laser rifle - YES
- Pulse rifle - YES
- Sonic shotgun - YES
Easy to hold as two-handed heavy weapon?

So what's wrong?
Haraldx:
It's... it's just way too much home-made. :-/
I can't find a single clue of how something like that could operate. Your previously mentioned weapons are rather futuristic and I highly doubt use 1950 parts (unless you mean the actual in-game crafting which always confused me). Look at the other Fallout/Fallout 2 weapons that atleast look-like home-made. They look somewhat functional atleast or something.
NastyKhan:
Hmm.. Well sonic weapons aren't more "fantastic" than plasma, lasers or pulse weapons. All of those are just "1950s nerd SCI-FI" things. Sonic technology fits the fallout universe very well. Just look:
Doesn't looks falloutish enough?
How does it works? Hell knows. Probably some kind of mega amplifier that increase (or decrease?) volume or frequency of sound, so it can hurt people. This is how a friend of mine from Warsaw University of Technology explains functioning of guitar-based sonic weapon:
--- Quote ---Hitting strings at the certain power-chord (capodaster!), induces impulses of high frequency current, which are strengthen by amplifier and generate powerful, modulated (phaser) soundwaves, which couses bones of creatures to resonate and fall apart.

In fact I don't know how fallout plasma, laser and pulse weapons work too but.. i don't give a damn, really ;) They look cool and kill people. All i want to know.
And about hand made? Well - in world of fallout everything is possible. Super duper amplifier - possible. Street speaker - possible. Old guitar - possible. Junk and wires - possible. I see no big problem, really ;)
I'm also trying to say that the guitar itself its NOT "magic" and is in fact the least important part of the construction.
Luther Blissett:
It's a difficult one. The examples are right and logically it seems like it would fit in terms of style and technical detail, but it's perhaps a little too "unique" for general use. I can imagine some crazed old pre-war musician, now a 200 year old ghoul, living in a little camp, inventing one of these to defend himself, but I can't see it being a common weapon which the hundreds of online players in 2238 would have access to.
Special quest object, yes. Common weapon that all players would have, not so much - though there's certainly weirder stuff in Fallout 2 already (I've not played Fallout 3, so can't comment on the hand-held nuclear thingy).
Anyway, I like the imagination in it and thinking behind it, and the model's come out really nicely. Of the 3D stuff that's made, there's only a certain amount going to end up in 2238 (I'd imagine it to be "existing stuff" plus a few extras) - and this probably wouldn't be one of them, unless there was a full quest for it, but we must remember that this 3D stuff is ultimately intended for any future Fonline-based project - and if I ever make a single player Fonline game in future, I'd want one of those in it, with the ghoul as I described above :)
NastyKhan:
Why musician?
