was asking about the Fallout universe lore. I know that according to the lore, the Gauss rifle was invented by Germany. Which side was the first to use it on the Anchorage front? In theory, it should have been China, using the Gauss rifle as a way to counter power armor. But in the simulation, I didn't see a single Chinese soldier with a Gauss rifle. Only on the posters.

According to Fallout lore, the NCR defeated the Brotherhood of Steel. Just regular infantry taking down an army of power-armored troops.

Plus, the Metro 2033 universe has some similar stuff too. https://metrovideogame.fandom.com/wiki/Exoskeleton

Judging by this footage, a group of soldiers with Kalashnikovs can take down power armor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiO8id3Supc

But yeah, the Enclave objectively surpasses the Federals in technology and logistics. Just remember how they crossed the entire USA from the west coast to the east coast on Vertibirds (2,500 miles). Meanwhile, the Federals barely managed to get from Omsk to Yekaterinburg (around 500 miles).

On the other hand, the Enclave is clearly inferior in numbers. In Fallout 2 (at the peak of their power), the Enclave’s total population ranged from about 1,000 to 1,200 people, including workers, politicians, and scientists.

You're right. This is homophobia at 200%. By describing Pride City, the author created a grotesque caricature of pride parades. (That's why they look and behave like Mr. Slave from South Park).

However, in the same novel, he portrays an erotic lesbian scene involving one of the main heroines completely without any irony.

The NCR helmet, judging by the sound of the fall, is made of metal. a thin sheet metal bender.

Which is logical. In the wastelands, trees are scarce, but scrap metal is everywhere.

I guess it’s more rigid than a boonie? Might be a ballistic helmet with a pith covering?

It is made of compressed bamboo.

Yes.

I'll add this. That 4-family house was demolished long ago, and a 2,000-unit apartment building was built in its place. However, those 16 people planted a Christmas tree in Trezor's grave. It still stands.

There's a lot of variation in the numbers for the number of victims, isn't there?

In fact, it's quite common. An executioner for some, a savior for others.

In my opinion, it's a five-round AVS-36. It's difficult to see in the photo.

Moreover, the Lend-Lease program for the USSR began after the Siege of Leningrad. Western weapons would not have been available there.

Why am I getting negative ratings? This is also a story.

The exact date of Maxim’s death is unknown. However, he survived the war and died in the mid‑1970s.
