Why does everyone call them 'Assault Rifles', such an ugly term, and an inaccurate one.

Because that is the actual technical term, I believe you are mistaking that for the term "Assault weapon" which is inaccurate.

An Assault Rifle is a selective fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine, in contrast to Battle Rifles that fire a full-power rifle cartridge.

Yes but all the rifles people would find in the wasteland, AK47's M16s etc would be Semi-Automatic therefore not selective fire.

Well, yeah unless of course people are smart enough to convert those semi-autos into full-auto.

AK-47 is selective fire. M-16 is the selective fire variant of the AR-15.

Well its not so much the technical know-how (which is a major issue) but having the machinery to create the proper parts needed to convert it to automatic fire.

Settlement Name: Drugland

Settlement Government Description: it's a chief, John Doe, and a war chief, Jimbo Reed

Settlement Population: How many people? 69

Settlement Location: A plot of land, on the border of farmland, west of the river.

Settlement Society: Everyone is Christian, so they take Sundays off, and pray. After that they work in the drug fields.

Settlement History: John Doe found a small plot of land that would be perfect for farming stardust in 145 PC. He started a farming community. The drug fields grew larger and eventually people moved there there. The pay is good and defences are strong.

Settlement Goal: To have a monopoly on the narcotics market.

Settlement Description: Its a farming settlement. There are a few houses, and a large house for storage of drugs and guns. There are a few acres of drug fields.

Keep in mind that all PC variants that have been produced were likely produced by my folk, who revere the manuals for the damn things as holy relics and wouldn't dare deviate in their construction. 99% of them are going to be semi-automatic. baring special circumstances.

Or you just have left-over HMGs from military armouries, as in the 316th's case, although said HMGs are only used for defence of the Depot itself and nothing more.

Settlement Name: Elysium

Settlement Government Description: It is a type of Democracy. Haven is run by a Chancellor, who has near veto power over the 500 citizens. When the Chancellor dies, a member from the Elysium Council is picked to replace him. Elections are a major celebration.

Settlement Population: 150 Residents

Settlement Location: Elysium is an underground bunker tucked deep in the Woods to the Northwest, with it's only entrance being through a twisty cave below the earth, which used to be a mine.

Settlement Society: Elysium is a completely independent and non-reliant society, and many of it's inhabitants believe the outside world to be nothing but nuclear waste and a few mutated bugs. Residents of Elysium enjoy nice, clean water which is purified from a massive underground reserve and their own urin using the most advanced technology of the pre-war world. Because of this advanced technology, Residents enjoy many activities such as gyms, VR Simulations, Arcades, and a wide variety of foods using a Quantum Atomizer which allows Atoms to be manipulated to create something else. When that fails, Elysium has a large stockpile of food. Children enjoy playing "Hunt the Mutant", a game copied from Hide and Seek, they also enjoy playing together on the VR Sims and other activities. Adults tend to work often and in their free time, watch old world Television and play video games/ board games. Chess is very popular. There are many holidays, such as Election Day, Remembrance Day, Christmas, Easter, and even Halloween. Children go to school and learn all about American and World History, and at age 14 take a standardized test that determines their job in Elysium. Most end up with normal jobs, but a select few are chosen by the Chancellor to become Cadets in the Haven Security Force. They guard the Halls of Elysium and keep the peace.

Settlement History: The details of Elysium's history have been lost in time, but Elysium was built before the war to give a select few a chance to survive an Apocalyptic Scenario. It has never opened since the war, but it is a legend to many, since letters and some evidence has been found telling people from before the war to "Report to Elysium immediately". To most, it is just a superstition, a fairy tale told to give people hope.

Settlement Goal: To keep it's inhabitants safe. To continue pure humanity.

Settlement Description:

Infrastructure: Elysium is very, very organized. It has an amazing government and system that has kept peace for over a century.

Military: Elysium has a small Security Force of roughly 50 Officers, that are usually equipped with a 9mm pistol and a Police Baton. They aren't trained for intense combat, but are experienced in firearms and hand to hand combat. The armory, located in the Security District, has Automatic Weapons, Explosives, and plenty of ammo, but never before has the Security Force had to use it.

Agriculture: With the use of the Quantum Atomizer, Elysium is able to create a wide variety of foods and can quite easily feed it's people. It also has a near limitless supply of fresh, purified water.

Manufacturing: Elysium does not have factories. Garbage is burned, but sometimes recycled to make something small. However, 99% of things in Haven are from before the war.

Health and Education: Elysium is probably the only place that has an organized school and direct records of the old world. Their residents are taught math, science, literature, history, and much more. It is rare for anyone in Elysium to get something more than the Common Cold, and it is easily treated with the best medical technology of the Old Wolrd.

Scavenging and Trading: Nobody ever enters, nobody ever leaves

Imperial, what US military firearm do you suggest I use then? I'm fresh outta ideas

Honestly i'd opt out of any Pre-Collapse Firearm. Ignorning the sheer personal incentive i have,

You'd likely want to go with an AK series rifles (which i produce), reason being is they're rugged, durable, and don't require alot of upkeep to keep running. That but ammunition and spare parts would be readily available (As it's the main export rifle) meaning that you don't have a total dependence on an outside supplier.

[Badafar]

Yes but all the rifles people would find in the wasteland, AK47's M16s etc would be Semi-Automatic therefore not selective fire.

AK-47 is selective fire. M-16 is the selective fire variant of the AR-15.

Sorry, got my names wrong. What I meant was, only civillian variants of ak47s (semi-auto) would be found, and the Ar's would also be semi-auto unless converted, like the Aks. So Assault Rifle is the incorrect term to use when referring to any old rifle being found and used, unless its specified to be full-auto.

Anyway, let's stop arguing and get back to posting on the IC?

Hmm, would the FN-FAL work? It looks cool and it'd be a good weapon

Well,

An FN FAL is practically impossible to get ahold of, The sole Produce (me) has a population that views the weapon as a most holy relic and it can't be given to outsiders. Short answers no. Only way you get get them is by killing my people and taking them...won't go well.


EDIT: Unless you've found rare ones elsewhere but then parts and ammo are a problem.

316 will be using a mix of bastardised M-14s (similar to the Bastard Carbine from Metro 2033, but based off the M-14 since we have a decent stockpile from the depot for spare parts and ammo) and various shotguns plus some riot shields and bulletproof-gear issued to their elite forces.

Well a lot of them were produced (Over 2 million atleast) but they aren't amazingly common, it is 150+ years after the war, so I'd do what is suggested and RP using weapons you have made yourself or produced by people like Imperial City States.

Well that's because i think you're the most militant out of everyone here being as your at the NG depot. All of which makes perfect sense in my mind.

Yeah. We have the most firepower, but our main issue is ensuring a constant supply of ammo. Although we have the cartridges, acquiring the propellant and making the actual bullets limits the amount of domestic ammo production we can do.

Or I could sue the assault rifle from Fallout 3, that's easy to produce, considering it was made using tech from around the 50's

@Badafar

Personally I would put the magazine on the bottom rather than on the side like the poles did
