Pistols

-Pistols are small guns that are the most common type of guns around. They can be held with one hand. They are easy to conceal and can hidden inside jackets, coats, and vests. They are better used close-ranged.

Submachiene Guns

-These guns can generally be carried with one hand, and are more like oversized pistols that shoot bullets super fast, thus they tend to waste ammo faster than other guns. But they're excellent for taking out an enemy at close range very quickly.


Name: 9mm SMG
Ammo: 9mm round
Mods: Yes
Rarity: Common


Name: 10mm SMG
Ammo: 10mm round
Mods: Yes
Rarity: Common


Shotguns

-Ah, the good ol' shotgun. They can be devastating at close ranges, and are often used for hunting. They have a kick when used, and are better known for their buckshot. Sometimes, all a man needs is a dog by his side, and a good shotgun in his hands to take out the mightiest of beasts.

Heavy Weapons

-Oh baby, where in the world did you get one these bad boys? These guns are the cream of the crop of bullet spitting weaponry. No one would dare mess with you should you get one of the following. However, you'll need a high, high gun skill, massive amounts of strength, and be very, very lucky. Heavy Weapons are more commonly found on Super Mutants, should they be lucky themselves to have one.


Name: Minigun
Ammo: 5mm round
Mods: Yes
Rarity: Very Rare

Types of Energy Weapons:

• Pistols
• Rifles
• Heavy Weapons

Laser vs Plasma

-When it comes to energy weapons, we have two distinctive types, laser and plasma. What's the difference between them other than the name? To make it simple, lasers are fast but less accurate. Plasma is slower but more accurate. There are some mods that allow you fix these problems, so don't worry too much about it. All in all, you can still hurt someone with any of these types of E. Weapons.


Pistols

-Quick draw, turn that ugly mug into a sizzling pile of ashes or a bubbling pile of goo!

Name:Incinerator
Ammo: Flamer fuel

Type of Melee Weapons

• Bladed
• Blunt
• Thrown

*The best thing about melee weapons? No ammo required! However, this will mean that you risk getting up close and personal with the person or creature you're fighting against. Be warned of this.


Bladed

-Whether it's cleaning your kill or stabbing someone, a good ol' knife is just what any one needs! Blades are good for cutting, stabbing, slicing, dicing, or whatever else you can think of.

Mods: No
Rarity: Common


Name: Lead Pipe

Mods: No
Rarity: Common


Name: Throwing Knife
Mods: No
Rarity: Common

Unarmed weapons all fall into a single category; weapons that require only your bare fists to use. Nothing is more manly than beating someone up with just your hands. But sometimes even your hands need help being beastly, so these helpful little guys will make the beatings easier. Unarmed weapons only ammunition IS YOU. GO OUT AND KICK SOMEONE'S ASS, BE A MAN.

Name: Frag Mine
Rarity: Common


Name: Pulse Mine

So what is ammo exactly? Short for ammunition, it is basically the stuff you put into weapons that makes them deadly. By definition, ammo is "the material fired, scattered, dropped, or detonated from any weapon, as bombs or rockets, and especially shot, shrapnel, bullets, or shells fired by guns".

So basically, different kinds of weapons have different ammo types. Not all guns shoot the same kind of bullets. Here's a quick guide to help you understand.

Ammo is always required for all of these weapons, otherwise you just have a useless gun. Many stores in cities will have ammo readily supplied. Prices vary from store to store (with a high enough Barter skill, the prices can be lowered). However, not all stores will sell ammo for some of the more rare weapons, so best of luck obtaining that. Sometimes special events will yield what you need, so keep your eyes open for announcements.

Mods usually do a few things for your weapons. They increase ammo capacity, add scopes, improve weapon condition, increase damage, add silencers, decrease weight, etc. Weapon mods can be bought or traded, but they are not always in demand, and their numbers are quite limited. Sometimes stores will have special sales where you can buy mods, but quantity is small.

Here's a list of all weapon mods that may appear in Montana.
