Working on a "Fallout 4" mod, Set in Australia. What weapons do you want in it? Cut off date would be 1900 - 1975 firearms.
Our 3d Modellers want to do every firearm that Australia used during that period from Great War till 1970s, But i figure it would be worth while to ask what people want.
Why not build your own setting? OG fallout is Mad Max+reddit after all.
We're just going to start with something small, after that we'll see what happens. In anycase, firearms!
>What weapons do you want in it
L42A2 rifle.
Enfield P15
Charlton Automatic Rifle
Owen Gun
Austen of any type (could be a laser Austen)
Scoped Boys AT rifle as the big mutant killer gun
Lee Enfield mortar
Maybe some WWII japanese or Fallout chinese guns.
EM-2
>OG fallout is Mad Max+reddit after all.
It's greater than that. Also, A Boy and His Dog had more influence on both Fallout and Wasteland, IMO.
>A Boy and His Dog
Kino. Had completely forgotten this existed.
The red scare thing was likely influenced by Strangelove and maybe Paranoia (the tabletop RPG). Or maybe just the IRL batshit insanery that floated in the air back in the day.
The Owen Gun definitly should be included.
>The Owen Gun definitly should be included.
Laser Plasma or Shotgun, Assault Rifle? Or your stock SMG?
Of course smg
20mm autocannons scavenged from Jap planes.

Boongas did it in Papua New Guinea so I'm sure aussies wouldn't have much trouble getting them running.
https://laststandonzombieisland.com/2020/05/19/dug-relics-still-potent/
SLRs better be prominent
SLR, SMLE, Owen, BHP, Sawn Off (Mad Max), Lewis, Lithgow Model 12, some assorted shotguns (maybe the Adler for the luls). Make sure to make the .303 compatible with either munitions and/or asXas' enfield mod and the 9mm use Deadpool99s 9mm rounds or, again, munitions
>https://imfdb.org/wiki/Mad_Max
Some of the stuff listed here might be a good start
All stuff that was avaliable in Ausralia AND le ebin reference
Military equipment would be mostly generic Commonwealth stuff
>Hi-Power
>L1A1
>Bren
>FN MAG
>Lee-Enfield (Sporterized or with scope)
>PIAT
>Sterling SMG
>Boys AT rifle
>EM-2 if you want an alternate scenario
>An alternate British smg could be the MCEM 2 or Viper MKI
>Australian had it's own SMG designs, like the Owen gun and F1
>Some US equipment was used in Vietnam (M16, M60, M79)
>The Parker Hale M82 was also used in nam
Some cool field modifications used by Commandos in Vietnam

Could be a good reference for more ''vintage'' weapon attachments
hivemind
You could also mount some early optic on it like in the movie Wild Geese although not sure how it would work ingame
The SASR L2A1 SLR fully-automatic carbine, of course - with 30 round mags and the 40mm.
>To overcome this these rifles were field modified, often from heavy barrelled L2A1 automatic rifles, with their barrels chopped off immediately in front of the gas block, and often with the L2A1 bipods removed and a XM148 40 mm grenade launcher mounted below the barrel. The XM148 40 mm grenade launchers were obtained from U.S. forces. For the L1A1, the lack of fully-automatic fire resulted in the unofficial conversion of the L1A1 to full-auto capability by simple filing of the selector, or by inserting a ‘foreign body’ to block the sear.
>They would typically be equipped with 30-round magazines, either the straight version specifically made for the L2A1, or the slightly curved on used on the L4 Bren conversion. (As this mag was designed to feed downwards it often had an extra spring inserted to help feed upwards properly).
>The barrels were chopped to make handling in the bush easier, and to increase the sound and flash signature when the weapon was fired. When a contact was initiated, the typical SASR 5-man patrol would lay down massive amounts of fire, the sound and flash of the chopped barrels adding to the ‘shock and awe’ effect, disorienting the VC or NVA and giving them the impression that they were in contact with a much larger force.
>To the Troopers this modified L1A1 was simply called “The b***h”…
The fireball must have been fricking nuclear
Evelyn Owen's first smg prototype chambered in .22
look like those custom shotguns from the matrix
I know it is from New Zealand; but the idea of converting some Boer War relic to full-auto fits well with this type of setting
>I know it is from New Zealand; but the idea of converting some Boer War relic to full-auto fits well with this type of setting
Nothing saying people couldn't have brought it from there.
already a fallout 4 mod

Australia doesn't even exist.
It's fictional continent from DnD.
One thing to establish would be Australia's role in WW3
Depending on what happens you could include some exotic enemy weapons (Like the Chinese guns in Fallout 3)
>Australia's role in WW3
Allied with/taken over by the Chinese. Mostly because we haven't really seen the commie side of the wasteland yet. What's Chinese Pip Boy look like?
Locks you out if your reputation with the NACP is too low
>What's Chinese Pip Boy look like
How about a cartoonish furry, like Nork Squrriel and Hedgehog?
I always imagined it as this shoulder mounted harness with multiple screens.
PrepHole doesn't deal with games either.
Multiple Enclaves. Some Chinese puppets, some American puppets, some pure Australian, an Enclave for every party, and a new one everytime the government changed.
Enclave in Victoria.
>Enclave near Sydney and Canberra
Makes sense.
>Enclave near Darwin
Makes sense, too.
>Enclave near...Norseman
wat
Looks more like Victoria, In the Dandenong ranges/ Snowy river national park.
It's all well and good to port in a bunch of RL weapons but I can just play RS2 or the SOG:PF ARMA 3 mod for cold war era aussie weapons. I'd say work out some underlying lore and thematic motifs perhaps inspired by nam-era australian weapons and then make some new weapons that also fit in with the fallout universe. In fact if this thread doesn't die in a few hours I'll try draw some.
Due to Australia's uranium and other resources, its interior was heavily mined out. To staff these supermines, large groups of Chinese POWs, fifth columnists, penal laborers, and patriotic volunteers were harnessed to meet demanding quotas. To protect the miners from the elements and the processing facilites from red Chinese attacks, they were enclosed and built directly in the pit mines themselves, which had the added environmental benefit of containing all the toxic and radioactive particulates.
The Angru is a large, migratory, predatory omnivore about twice the size of a human that stands upright on two distended and heavily muscled legs ending in sharp, powerful claws. Its two arms ending in dexterous, almost human-like hands allow it to easily climb and open doors. Perhaps most unique is its reproductive cycle, which sees the newborn Angru litter climb into its mother's pouch where they parasitize with her body, rapidly growing as they function as additional limbs and senses until the mother collapses from malnutrition at which point the young Angrus tear free and consume her corpse. Care must be taken when hunting Angru as more than a few hunters have been devoured by a pack of juvenile Angru after inadvertantly killing a female.
not bad my question is did china in universe ever try to invade ausland would make a sense if they did
Probably; IIRC China had conquered a fairly large chunk of Asia by the time of the Sino-American War. One of the wikis has a lot of the lore from rpg and design documents so you might want to check. Though personally I feel if it's not innthr games it is fair play to mess with.
yep I like the idea of australia using the uranium
here's a plasma SLR, i envision the average heavy-punching 7.62 spirit translating over to the average grunt getting a slr that shoots plasma bolts
I'd imagine you'd get a lot of radium rifle/gamma gun type stuff. Maybe even exotic ammo for regular guns using the tailings and whatnot from the mines.
I was thinking self recharging rifle but plasma rifle in the same vein looks very sexy.
FN RCW
Luty homemade smg used by some modern Australian gangs
It’s past the cutoff as a 1978 firearm but the Leader T2 would be cool.
McCruden machine rifle developed in 1919
damn sexy what type of mag did it take?
why ask on /k/ of all places
do you have any actual experience modding?
I'd say there's a 0.01% chance he's actually developing the mod in the first place.
>why ask on /k/ of all places
>do you have any actual experience modding?
Because /k/ deals with guns, PrepHole doesn't.
Frick those rules, throw an aug in there
Okay.
>Cut off date would be 1900 - 1975 firearms.
Fricking why? The world fell apart a literal century after that. If it's not a long-lived design with many users, it wouldn't be used. How many Glocks are floating around the US Wastes? Very few, if any at all, because Gaston Glock dumped his brain into a computer and made the Laser Pistol and it was quickly adopted by many different groups and used worldwide. How many civilians were shooting 10mm in 1975? Why is it the most popular caliber for everyone from cops to house wives up to 2077?
I get that you want the 20th century aesthetic, but that's not the Fallout aesthetic.
You have the same chance in 2076 of stumbling across a USGI M16A1 used in Vietnam as you do today, which is almost fricking 0. Then add another couple hundred years. Now apply that to every gun.
why aussie land? Would that even be fallout
whats the lore?
also why 1975? The fallout aesthetic is just madmax+americana anything that fits into that would be fine. You should just know whether a gun would fit into the FO universe
We're all aussies. 1975 not a hard cut off just when weapons started to look less wood and more plastic.
plastic/polymer isn't inherantly bad its just knowing what will look right and what doesn't
FNV Assault carbine/Colt 733=good
FNV Marksman carbine/M4gery w/ quad rails=bad
That's true.
Are you insane? The wildlife in modern australia can already chew up a Deathclaw, so imagine what the mutated version of all those spiders, plants and drop bears would be like after WW3!
All the radiation mutated the koalas and increased their intelligence exponentially, which means they're now only slightly moronic.
Regular koalas become Deathclaw-tier drop bears. Pre-war drop bears become... I'm not sure, but if the mod doesn't have this then it's just leaving money on the table.
Mutant koalas grow a second head, become twice as dumb.
Isnt Tankgirl set in a post apocalyptic australia? So, lots of salvaged psychodelic tanks then.
It is, I never liked that movie but i'll give it a look.
Another thing that is set in post-apoc Australia: Ma.k.
Machienen Krieger.
If you want a slightly different retro-sci-fi inspo and references, Ma.k is a very rich source.
That's one of the most disgusting pictures I've ever seen.
i like to think australia had a burgeoning backyard shed industry capable of making surprisingly good energy weapons
here's a laser owen
Build-your-own kits available from "wiener Smith's" electronics store chain, for a bit of a reference.
Metal storm, of course.
Weren't there various ANZAC expedient weapons/explosives?
Pretty cool anon, fits into the Fallout Aesthetic bery well.
Theses are really good, I wish i could follow you on artstation.
It's a little bit outside of your time period but if you don't have Ned Kelly's armour then I would be extremely disappointed.
In my opinion the story deserves at least a side-quest themed around the Kelly gang.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armour_of_the_Kelly_gang
seconded
Make them a full on minor faction called the Bushrangers.
A post-apocalyptic band of raiders in bushranger armour with bubba'd sawn off shotguns would both be incredibly on-brand for an Australian setting and also merge really fricking nicely with the Fallout aesthetic, kek - I'd never thought about that before.
Seconded.
So is the Strine version of the Brotherhood of Steel the MFP, but with Ford Falcon mecha or something?
I would rather have a Day Z mod in Australia.
>fallout 4
>posts image depicting fnv
?
NV's engine is fairly limited in comparison to 4's.
is it ever coming out?
Has anyone done any nuke detonation mapping of Fallout 3/NV/4? It always intrests me to see the surroundings of noticeable ground zero's.
Canonically between Mr. House's EW, anti-missile defenses, and poor targeting, very few nuclear weapons actually hit the Mojave. If you've got the Wild Wasteland trait you can find an unexploded one near Devil's Throat.
You need to replace Power Fists with Power Boots
ye olde gibson special, a VG Bentley Side by side sawn-off. though I hardly doubt it's already in the game.
A non sawn-off variant would be neet to
Whatever Australia used throughout the period, recovered from arsenals
Muskets and muzzleloaders
Airguns
other improvised ranged weapons(pipeguns etc.)
modified power tools, souped up H&H bolt drivers and nail guns, plasma torches and other cutters
you could go really hard on absurd power tools in a consumerist world with little care for consumer safety standards
the ripper and super sledge started like that, as well as nail gun from lonsesome road
tranquiliser rifles for australian wildlife
ridiculous boomerangs and other abbo weapons
Bow and arrow, blowpipes
Guns would probably have a lot of double barrels and lee-enfields
The savage 99 would be a nice addition, and not found in most games
Browning Hi-power
If we assume that the port arthur firearms roundup didn't happen
Everything found in America
If "bushwhacker action shooting" got big like cowboy action shooting, some cowboy reproduction guns
if converted to semi STG-44's were allowed for import in alt history, you could have reasonable explanation for STG-44's ingame
SMLE
Austen MkII
SKS
L1A1
whatever ol ned had
If you don't include the 1874 Sharps rifle it would be a tragedy.
dont add deathclaws and super mutants and shit thats only in the us. Make like radioactive abbos or giant kangaroos or something
Plenty of monitor lizards in Australia so a mutated one reminiscent of Megalania could be fun in place of your typical death claws. Give it some wicked claws and a oisonous bite like komodo dragons (to any um akshully posters, it is known to be poison now, not just bacteria in the mouth as was long thought).
Not him but I'd say use them in the same way the devs used yao gui instead.
Yeah, that sounds better since they're both on 4 legs.
No.
Make them replace brahmin.
Mutated koalas where the eucalyptus leaves make them effectively immortal. If the player doesn't work to end the threat, the bad ending concludes with them infecting the entire continent with menthol-flavored chlamydia.
Make sure what you guys make doesn't have any glaring flaws, like great 3D modeling and mapping etc only to have shit-tier writing or story or setting.
I'm very excited for this, I'm assuming the Chinese would have occupied Australia for some time right? How about some chinese guns as well? Type 88s or whatever those SKS AK things are called and SVDs would fit right in.
show screenshots of mod or otherwise fake and gay
>What weapons do you want in it?
None, because they don't have any there after banning them all
Fallout is sci-fi so the ban didn't happen. It's version of Australia could have been a glorious, high tech, gun filled paradise until the Chinese nuked it. Unlike what it became, a castrated island of tradies working for the Chinese.
Australian version of the BoS is a bunch of guys in cobbled together armor forcibly disarming people "for their own protection."
>orbital drop bears
Make a monument in the game of a really tall guy with an insane physique and call it the monument the the 6'4 anglo god called Jenson
Here is some inspiration, an Aussie look at a dystopian future.
https://archive.org/details/future-schlock-1984
And here is an Australian post-apocalyptic/dystopian/cyberpunk time travel rock musical.
And the short film it was based on.

And I feel that any Aussie FPS should have Choomas as enemies.

And any AU Australia should have a few references to shit that didn't happen in our universe, like the Multi Function Polis, the Australia Card, and Joh Bjelke-Petersen resigning on the eighth of the eighth, 1988.
