View Full Version : Will we ever scavenge an AK-47

A post-apocalyptic world should be littered with Kalashnikov and m16 rifles. There are probably close to 100 million of these things in existence now. God knows many other hand guns and rifles there are.

What’s the plan for ranged weapons such as guns or even crossbows? I don’t know if sitting on a hill with a 50cal sniper rifle and a Glock G22 back-up would fit well in the game but would be somewhat historically accurate.

I suppose that there were no military forces around lake Tahoe =) But I wold be glad if there was some kind of secret base with laser and plasma guns =P aka Fallout =P

You can scavenge an Ak47 when I can scavenge a cell phone, plasma tv, xbox 360, and portable generator. :P

Other than that I don't know if there are plans for projectiles. If there are probably not in Prelude.

Maybe not an army base around lake Tahoe but what about a police station or gun store? Hell if you searched the rubble from many US homes you would find an arsenal, like mine :)


I am curious about ranged weapons in general and also what part modern technology will play. We kind of have a native American thing going on now; will we progress to a wild west/ mad max world?

If you look at concept art ... there are tons of guns... magic staffs...etc

Well... You'd think that sense everything is in pieces the gun would probably be unusable. Not to mention the amount of dirt that has collected in the barrel as well its internal mechanisms would make it quite thoroughly jammed. Not sure why there would be Kalashnikov rifles around this area though.

As for the guns in concept art, I'm pretty sure if they're ever in they will be player made. The idea is that the game will advance in time periods, so new technology will eventually be discovered. Perhaps when some one becomes a master of a craft they will be able to collaborate with others to make new designs... I don't know.

My experience is that there are plenty of AK’s and AR15’s around just in residential areas. Stored in a gun safe they may be in pristine condition come Xsyon. Maybe just finding a few old parts would be inspiration for someone to go in the gunsmith business, so totally agree that crafters should be able to make them later.

We could scavenge safes and when we open them we could loot a random high tech item, like a GPS or a powerful gun (but with limited ammo)

Just make a female character for yourself and in the bushes do with it whatever you like, but keep your maniacal deviations away from real female players.

Sounds like you could have some issues. Why suggest those things?

I would be allready happy if the Weaponcrafter would become the ability to create a very basic gun like a flintlock pistole =) Or a Flintlock rifle or simply, what could be surely around the lake ^^
A Winchester Hunting Rifle ;)

Despite the fact that automatic and semi-automatic weapons require a certain level of infrastructure to keep them working, what about the ammo?

Would you use a weapon that wasted a weeks worth of scavenged ammo in 30 seconds? How old is that ammo, what are the chances for misfires?

'Oh, I can reload the shells.' It also takes a certain level of technology to reload cartridges. Are you going to pick up every shell casing after a fight, if you can find them all?

Without looking it up, do you know the percentages of potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur needed to make black powder? How about making a primer cap? Cordite or other modern gun powders? Do you know what corning is?

Of course if you put black powder in cartridges for an AK-47 or any other gas operated weapon, it would quickly jam.

1) Discover old military complex
2) All the weapons and ammo have been kept working by robots.
3) Kill the AI and claim the gun factory so you and your tribe can produce guns and ammo.

That would make a nice event.

Amused Sarcasm: Yes. It is also preferred that no clothing be present on the female form; for that is what is liked.

Lol.

Seriously, is this board so international that no one can pick up blatant sarcasm?
Started out with down-playing the exposed breast skin on every female concept (haven't seen a woman player in-game).
I then followed it up with some sexist lingo.

Failure.

Edit: Thanks for the private messages. I felt special when I saw how many were waiting for me.
