The Cases Eject on the Left Side!?

[OH]

Anybody else notice this on some of the weapons?
I'm not trying to sound pedantic or anything but I don't think the Sole Survivor would like hot cases getting inside his vault suit.

For some weapons it makes sense, after all the Pipe weapons only open on the left, and a lefty hunting rifle* will eject lefty.

*Why it's a lefty in the first place is another matter.

There's a whole thread here somewhere complaining about left-handed guns being held incorrectly.

[hey]

It's pretty annoying with the more fast-paced guns.

The least they could have done is move the ejector further away from the trigger, y'know.. because that'd make at least a little more sense.

nothing like hot brass down the shirt to keep one on their toes

This is done by a company that did a shotgun with a drum mag placed *halfway down the length of the barrel* in FO3.

Its like they went out and hired artists and artist supervisors who've *never even seen a gun*.

You have seen the PPSH-41, right? Because that's what the Combat Shotgun is based off of.

[OH]

I kinda like the insane 12 gauge PPSH abomination, but F4's different, they try to give the idea of making the guns look real, and pipe pistol and stuff are just there spewing brass into our face.

LoL.
I'm a frequent shooter at local ranges.
I get a real kick out of the idiots that come to the range wearing open foot sandals.
I'm a perv.

Lumpy is right, the combat shotgun doesn't make much sense, even though it's inspired by the real gun. For example the ejector is located at really weird place, or the barrel seems to go both forward and backward from the drum, which is really strange.

I'll have to have a look at it, I haven't played F3 in a while, it was a pretty rediculous looking thing.

I don't think anybody at Bethesda has seen or handled a gun extensively. All their weapons look a little too cartoony (and the revolvers don't even have firing pins.)

[Klokw3rk]

the left ejecting and left hand cocking wouldnt bothe me as it lets you see more the animation on guns

but the huntin rifle left side bolt is an obomination to watch as the rifle takes up half the screen between shots and i have to refind my target

Yeah, the bolt is huge, and the chambering seems weird.

[Bansheebutt]

Best explanation I can offer for the hunting rifle is so that Bethesda only had to animate one hand.
