The suggestion is pretty simple.
In real life the grease gun was cheaper to make, but in FOnline it's more costly than the tommy gun.
My suggestion, is to swap the crafting costs. and raise the damage to 5-20 for the tommy, and increase the burst size to 20, and the clip to 80 rounds.
It's not a ground breaking change, but i thought it might add an option for people playing a SG burster with brdx2 that need a cheaper PvP/PvE weapon. since you'll be dishing out alot of bullets with +4 damage.
If no one likes the idea, feel free to move it to junk. ^,.,^

A story lesson:
The Tommy Guns and the Grease Guns, where the first "popular" automatic weapons in the time betwen the two world wars. They were NOT a good weapons, the mafia use tommy guns because they sound loud, make many damage and are cheap, so his purpose are make fear. And the grease guns were easy to hide.
mafia never go to war, there is just ambushes in those times, shot a lot and run.
after, they were suplanted by MP38 and another german models, also original tommy guns dont come with the classic circular magazine, they come with a normal magazine, gangs put the new magazine.

the grase gun was cheap, not the tommygun and it was actually a really good weapon, it didnt have the accuracy of the mp40 or the sten, it didnt have the cadence of the ppsh, but it had a good power an acceptable accuracy and it had a good cadence. Obviously the fn fal is much more nerfed since it's bullet can go throught kevlar. I think the tommy gun should shoot more rounds than the grasegun, since the grease gun's cadence was much lower. grase gun = control and accuracy tommy gun = cadence and acceptable recoil.

The FN-Fal is really big and heavy; I wouldn't pick it as an assault rifle.
The pressure column is excellent, so I think it would make a nice sniper rifle (with customization), with burst for close-in backup functionality.
Wasn't there a Soviet rifle like that?
Some AK mod?
-
Uh I remmember some Zastava rifles being based on AK, but you seriously suggest more small guns?
-
If you're talking about a soviet SVD sniper rifle.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragunov_sniper_rifle
Than yes, there is a soviet rifle that looks kind of like an AK, but it's not really one as far as design goes.
Also, the wikipedia says the FN FAL is a battle rifle, and not one of the assault carbines you're using to seeing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_FAL
Even if the wikipedia isn't always correct i still agree with the statement, it's a battle rifle from the years after WW2, not a very modern gun.
Also, since i never jumped in on the debate about tommy guns and grease guns, the model of tommy gun shown in game is a pre-army model, and thus has a very high rate of fire, even if it's known to jam at times. the grease gun has always been a US army weapon, and has a lower rate of fire, but was made for about 3 US dollars, when the tommy gun was made for 300 US. the details on the price probably very, so let me know if i am wrong about that.

Was talking about Zastava M76 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zastava_M76).
Anyway, looking at F2 thompson, it's 1928 model, so it's definetly not a weapon that'd carry to 2077 and further.
However since it uses .45 cal like original did, it's probably not a different weapon with original looks either.
Well to be honest here, both Thompson and 'Grease gun' are probably kind of weapons that should not even match 10mm SMG, or be tuned for NPC usage.

True to an extent, america was backward culturally, not in warfare... grease guns and tommy's prolly wouldn't exist anymore really. Maybe in a museum. :P

I love how this simple suggestion on changing the ammo size/damage turned into a debate about real-life guns vs in-game guns, and every single detail about that... ugh.

Just remember Fallout is based on realistic world just with advanced (weapon) technology and continuous 80s feel to it.
So it makes sense why tommy and grease gun wouldn't exist actually... Not to mention these were manufactured 200 years a go or so.

its like a videogamer canon the fact of know about weapons. IS AWESOME
also all need to know:
1.-A scope is a WEAPON ATACHMENT, of course there are natural snipers, designed for be snipers, and you cant use them without scopes
2.-Every weapon can be atached with a scope, i remember in the Vietnam War the support weapon for snipers was the M1A1 carbine with scope, and in the recent wars most guerrillas use FAL with scopes as snipers, (while there is no Dragunov sniper)
3.-Tought it not good to use automatic guns as snipers because they lose precision, and you dont need a lot of shots, only one. (first FAL was semi-automatics)
It will be very good to have scopes for atach to weapons, but maybe the engine and game system wont let devs make this, tough they can expand the range of the weapons, but this is exploitable
Also im still thinking that tommy and grease guns need to still in 1tier being unpowerful weapons, there was designed to this, most of us culd think that tommys are powerful for all that mafia movies, but no, tommy is shit, cheap and scaring.
About fallout timeline. Why we have P90 and H11?
whatever H11 should be craftable, just little nerfed...

■The actual P90 Personal Defense Weapons is produced by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal. In the game, this gun is being depicted as having been produced by another real-life gun company, Heckler & Koch. It is also shown as being either 10mm or 9mm, while the real version is chambered for FN's 5.7x28mm ammunition
The Heckler & Koch P90c was just coming into use at the time of the war.
Although G11 IS a gun that shouldn't exist:
■The real-world counterpart for the G11 was developed for the German Bundeswehr, but never entered full production (around 1000 were produced and delivered) because the newly reunified Germany already had stockpiles worthy of two armies (not to mention the great expense involved in bringing the economy of the former East Germany up to West German standards), so the additional costs of continued G11 production weren't justified and the project was dropped.
I know you said whatever but I just couldn't help myself. :P

no problem, i love this treath....
also i know that P80 are from Europa, so, how in the hell they get to EU? and why they dont have a penetration bonus? (they was fabriqued for that)
also actually Mexicans Narcos use this weapon for get trough the flackjackets of the police guys at long distances. i see one in real life, its a strange weapon, they are called "matapolicias" traduction= "killcops"

1:The tommy gun thing is more for flavor that realism, but it's there, not much that can be done about it, so i just suggested a change. also it's iconic enough that any surviving models would be a good prize to offer a hit man, even if just to mount on his wall.
2: The grease gun probably would survive in a army storage building, at least enough of them to arm a few groups of soldiers, also, it's cheap, and blue prints for it would be something the public would have been able to get their hands on since it's so old, it wasn't even close to new, so after-war models could exist.
3: The P90c isn't the real life P90, it looks like a police model made in 10mm for the US law enforcement groups, FBI, ATF, swat teams, etc.
4: Retooling guns for NPC usage is a bad idea, it sucked in FO3, and it would suck in FOnline, if you're going to have something drop loot, it should be loot that could kill something, otherwise it's just a waste of time, since no one will pick it up, since no one will buy is, like a 9mm Mauser for example.
5: The use does use the P90 in real life, it's also a gun that could be imported, due to good quality, and a good choice for private security, and police. same with the FN FAL. even though it wouldn't be as common.
6: There is a nigh scope version of the FN FAL, but it's not in game, so yes, scopes can be mounted to it. if that's what some of you are suggesting.

one thing more the developers (the original ones) didnt think about, is that the fn fal isnt an assault rifle is a combat rifle, its developed for long range combat, and shooting the fn fal in full auto is retard (you aim a guy, and you will end shooting a plane) but the ammo is even harder than the ak47, and some sniper rifles. They should make fn fal a precision rifle with a really good stopping power. Then the ak47 (in this case assault rifle) should be harder to deteriorate, since an ak47 doesnt need to much maintencance (some people never do) . And if someone would want to add guns the mg42 and the mateba are really fucking good (mateba falloutish looking, and mg42 it has one of the fastest rate of fire, it shoots 120 bullets in 6 seconds.
-
Yeah Fn Fal should be precision rifle with something like 46-47 range , AP for shoot lower then Sniper rifle and little lower DMG.
And night scope version .. it should be changed to assault scope version or something like then normal version would be 44 hex range and scoped version 47 or smth like that.
And about Tommy gun and Grease gun. 12 bullet burst From M3a1 and 12 bullet burst from tommy? Tommy has twice higher rate of fire.
-
I've known Ulrek for awhile and trust me, he knows his guns AND their histories.
I'd also like to see the tommy gun given a chance.
1. From what I've seen the tommy gun is harder to come by even in the game then a grease gun.
2. In all honesty being a 2h weapon is a drawback because it being 2h gives no bonus yet the one-hander perk gives it drawback. (Which most small gun bursters take BECAUSE the tommy gun sucks and the best small gun burst comes from the P90 (1h).
3. If you guys (to the dev team) are going to make this as unrealistic as it is, then at least make the tommy gun more common and a 1h (i said unrealistic didn't i?) so that it adds more use of it. Also an increase in damage considering I'm pretty sure if you take a tommy gun to a person it will tear them apart worse then a grease gun, I can't be for sure so ask Ulrek.
