Fallout 4 Why Use Tommy Gun?

[pjedilord]

Why do people like to use tommy gun,when theres other better weapons to use?
I think its ok weapon, but target precise is not great, works well with some npcs.
But others not, Pay weapon from cricket is cool but tends not to work on some npcs.
Do npcs have special resistance? same with other weapons.
Special weapons like plasma seems to be better. I prefer to use other better weapons.
Why do they use old weapons like tommy guns? Goodneighbour seem to favour the weapon Why?
Who makes the bb gun mutants use? they do? they tend to be poor weapons.

The "Tommy Gun" is all about live shooting, and recoil. It handles very well from hip fire (or 'non-VATS-fire).

Ammo is plentiful, and light (i play Survival with limited Carry Weight). You can add a silencer!

Take psycho jet and kick in the door with Spray n' Pray from the hip. All that junk flying around by (mini) explosions and the explosions themselves look great in slow motion. Can be used later for trash mobs saving ammo.

Sorry, hard to understand what you mean. But if you are referring to the aoe effect of explosive rounds, then yes, in real life, any aoe explosions have the potential to hurt you.

If you are saying can normal rounds from a range weapon bounce back and hurt you like in real life, then no. Not in the game.

tommy guns ar pretty good early game. eventually an explosive automatic pipe gun it what you want if your running automatics due to cheaper ammo and lower ammo wieght while still have the same dps as the tommy but you can get an explosive tommy every time while the explosive pipegun is up to chance
