The Firearm Blog feature the real wold versions of the guns used in the Fallout video game, starting with the Fallout Handmade Rifle... "We’ve been comparing the guns of the Fallout series of post-apocalyptic video games to their real-world counterparts and today we’re going to examine the handmade rifle.

The Fallout universe is brutal and the Nuka-World DLC for Fallout 4 is even more ruthless. At the risk of spoiling the story for that one gamer out there who hasn’t yet completed it, there really aren’t any great choices to finish the Nuka-World main quest. But Nuka-World comes with one of my most favoritest guns in the game. The handmade rifle is ubiquitous in Nuka-World and is relatively powerful. The 7.62mm ammo is available widely in Nuka-World but is not found elsewhere in the game, except for sale by vendors. Like most guns in Fallout 4, the handmade rifle has a wide range of mods that can be applied. But what really makes this rifle shine are the two legendary rifles found in Nuka-World: The Splattercannon and The Problem Solver. Both are imbued with the Furious legendary effect, which increases the damage done with each consecutive hit on the same target. When this effect is combined with the Rifleman, Concentrated Fire, and Grim Reaper Sprint perks, it absolutely dismantles enemies.

Obviously, the Handmade rifle is modeled after the Kalashnikov series of fighting rifles in the real world. This is no great stretch, considering the original AK-47 was introduced at roughly the time that the Fallout universe timeline began diverging from our own history."
