I don't think the Gun Runners morphed the AK-112 into the M16, as it seems too much of a big step, but the M16 could have been an old weapon that they found the plans for and made into the NCR's standard rifle through lobbying (which we know the NCR has a big problem with.) Though it seems the AK-112 was called the "Colt Rifle" and the Rangemaster was "Colt Semi-Auto Rifle" in early development, so that shows a link as well.īut yes, the FN-FAL was only in Fallout 2, but from what I can tell, wasn't the standard NCR rifle at all. I wish to point out the Transistor not being designed was a fan edit to the Wiki, it's often discussed on the Fallout Lore subreddit, so I question that (if you have a source, please share it)īut I feel that Fargo's iteration was that America peaked in the 70/80s and then went into the "lets rehash 50's Americana and go from there" which I feel would have been a better fit.Īlso, the Colt Rangemaster isn't a real gun from what I can tell, but like I said, it and the AK-112 seem to be the same weapon with minor differences. Plus, how long does an M16 survive without any real maintenance, as I doubt everyone would have access to non-corrosive ammo and the stuff to properly maintain and clean an M16 for 100 years, let alone 200 years, especially something with as many fine moving parts as that has. we end up going off into massive numbers of "Current, emergency reserve and long term storage" weapons.
Hell, this discussion so far has only been about 1 country's worth of weapons, when we start mixing everything else in.
So yeah, plus the original lore didn't mention about anything the usage of the M16, probably because they didn't want to tie it down too much, plus legal issues, look at how they have fake name brands for stuff (Nuka-Cola instead of Coca-Cola) so didn't go into it much.Īs for the lore about why the US Nat Guard where using the R91 and the US had "standardised on the R series to replace the M series" was from Fallout 3, but we don't know what that change was exactly, or how close the Fallout timeline stayed to ours before diverging off harder. M39 Enhanced Marksman Rifle (M14/Mk14 modification - USMC) M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle (HK416 - USMC) Let's see how many Assault Rifle, Carbine and Designated Marksman's Rifles are in current US service (note, I've mixed them as often some are just one with full auto removed, and the games mix them up a bit)
