Heheh, the Patriot's Cookbook... Could that be a reference to ye olde Anarchist's cookbook?

On another note, I just went through the NCRCF admin building and it looks like I shot up a gay nightclub.

@1Kurgan1: FNV has an LMG but it is pretty rare. There's also about 3 different types of carbines (service rifle, assault carbine, marksman carbine).

Well at least they got some, thats nice, if anyone has some screens that would be great, I wonder what they are mocking. Or why Bethesda doesn't just use real names for bullet ammo weapons.

You have to use this thing called "strategy." I don't know if you heard of it, but it was invented by the universe. You just have to pick one.

Mine is to have insane perception, use a sniper rifle, and troll all the creatures. Just gotta be smart. If you are low level, you have to be careful and take your time. If you are high level you can run in with a cattle prod and beat Deathclaws.

Looks like its got the top handle from a M249 and the rest of it is a PKM... interesting.

The PKM actually has a carrying handle IRL. In FONV, it just rests on the wrong side :).

if by for this, you mean that it is necessary to have fo3 to play this, it's not. new vegas is stand alone. if htat's not what you meant, nvm :)

The Fallout weapon looks like a mixture of the two guns.

See here:

The receiver on the M249 definitely shows up on the one in Fallout. Also, the rear sight is clearly from the 249! The head shield above the barrel is similar to the 249 as well. It almosts looks like the gave the 249 wood furniture in the Fallout world, much like they did the AR-15 (although you actually CAN get wood furniture for the AR-15 IRL!)

I've only played FO3 till when you exit the vault, ie: didn't play much at all

should I play FO3 now and New Vegas later or just play New Vegas now because I am eager to play it?

Interesting, guess they do come with handles, most PKMs I see don't have one. Maybe it is possible it's a M249 wearing PKM clothing, once firing it, that would become completely clear as the M249 is significantly higher rate of fire.

Play NV now, F3 sucked serious grAPE-NUTS compared (aside from bugs and whatnot, of course).

At the start, because you're used to going wherever and doing whatever after your F3 character was so uber powered. It's just like starting another F3 game, the whole time you're thinking "get me through this crap - where's my plasma rifle already?"

If you actually see Mr. House, you will feel sorry for him, and end up not killing him (if you have a heart). One I saw him I reverted from save and allied with him the whole way. The Legion are the bad guys in the game IMO, so going against them is fine. Other factions will ally with you to help you on the final battle. I won't give away which ones :)
