shotgun and combat rifle have the same model

[Borg Cube]

why is that?

[Geeves]

Because they don't have the same model. That's why.

[DA REEL NANCY BOI]

To be fair, they are *damn* close. But they aren't the same model. \_(0_o)_/

[Mav]

Problably based off the same design just like the saiga shotgun is based off an AK...or a variant of the AK.

I was really hoping the combat rifle would be modified to look like a B.A.R. but i was slightly disappointed

They may not, but they look so similar, I always keep getting the two mixed up. That and I hate using the combat shotgun because of it (but still do because of a high damaging one I found).

[Dick Caught In Fan]

a saiga is an ak , its just 12 guage, thats like saying an ak74 is an ak and a ak47 is not.

[Scoob]

They do looks very similar, I've often fired off a shot before I've realised it's the other one I have equipped lol.

Scoob.

they have different barrels!

Yeah, not much of a difference. but it is A difference.

It gets easier when and if you put a drum magazine on to the combat shotty though. As well as looking at your ammo count indicator.

I'm reminded of Killing Floor 2. The medic class in that game has a modular weapons system design for it's class weapons. So it's shotgun and assault rifle look even more simmilar.

It may be but they really should change it more. Aesthetically it is really sort of a put off. Though no where near as bad as the ugle texture of the pipe weapons.

Because they're both "combat" weapons. And Bethesda is lazy.

If that was the case of them being combat weapons, then all of the pipe weapons would look almost the same too.

I enjoyed the pipe pistol variant because it looks like something you made out of your backyard

True, but you would think they there would be an option for a texture that didn't look like you left the gun in the rain/elements for 200 years and never bothered to clean it up.

[ImHelping]

I admit, I don't mind their looks and I don't have issues with it.

But I also won't blame anyone who gets tripped up by it while in a hurry and being shot at, regardless of any visual or UI based indications it has to seperate them.

PS: Pipe revolvers are actually pretty cool if you go Gunslinger. You can blow the head off the average super mutant in one shot, and they are also your only pistol option for .45 ammo and .308 ammo (Well okay. bolt action pipe gun for .308, but that's wildly impractical)

It looks like something that would blow up in your hand and cost you, your fingers. Most of the weapons are fairly ugly.
