That's why it's ammo being used for backing paper money (hell, they could be used as backing for bottlecaps), not as money itself.

Now the idea of bullets as a backing for a currency I like.

Or bullets might be made of STEEL or GOLD. None of those would work either? Gold is too rare and steel is much harder to make than lead. Plus lead makes more useful bullets. Heavy bullets=good, hence depleted uranium rounds. Making bullets out of other things so they'd be a more convenient currency...

win2k... but sometimes you've just gotta have 98 so you can play old games

skin it.

Democracy was officially rendered retarded back in 2000 anyway, when a man in missouri won a seat in the senate BECAUSE HE HAD DIED. He got the sympathy vote and won, which is why we A) had a democrat majority in the senate after the election and why ashcroft (the loser) is AG

Well, let's see, you can throw out the cancer thing (or is candidate A pro cancer? :roll: as well as asbestos, pesticides, and radiation). I am pro-animal research and won't respect someone at all for being anti. I would never vote for either candidate except to, say, prevent hitler from winning. Gi...

What other licenses does interplay own now? the 10-q lists $1.2 million in licenses they own, so fallout comes out of that pile.

I don't know if there was supposed to be a use for lighters or not, but they're good for cash and don't weigh anything. Useful loot.

You are sure? Anything in Fallout 1/2, or Fallout Bible, that says that? If so, whereabouts? Thanks for your time. :D Fallout 2 states clearly in the Sierra depot GNN transcript that "The US managed to be the first to tap the world's last remaining supply of oil." Which, I'm pretty confid...

the armor for items should not be added up, but averaged instead. so if you have a boot, lets say, that has like 10 armor points and a t-shirt with 3 or so, you wouldnt have 13 armor, but like 7 or so. and in combination with that, the boot would only protect the/that leg and would offer no extra p...

(Are there more ring pulls in existance, or bottle caps?) Well, given the 50's thing, you've gotta say bottlecaps. The thing about the hub backing bottlecaps as a currency is this: they have no control over their production. They'd have to back the bottlecaps anyone made because (as far as I know, ...

erm I meant 6 rounds. oops.

the ONLY oil left on earth was at that one rig. There is no more oil unless it was in someone's reserve and somehow survived the war. Fallout 2 was quite clear on that point.

Ok, what people don't seem to be spending time on here is electric cars, which are much simpler to make than ICE cars. I'd argue that the small energy cell is proof that they have the battery technology required to make useful electric vehicles. If they can mine and refine uranium, then making the m...

back when made in ireland ment something, shame he went bankrupt, and the cars were notoriously fault riddled, including jamming doors, trapping the driver. lol

and let's not forget the hidden pockets for drug smuggling!

Also: A) who's saying that it's the same 10mm round? I mean, we know it is because someone asked, but there's no reason to think they wouldn't have developed a 10mm.
after reviewing the picture of the 12 shooter revolver... the picture shows that it's only gonna hold 12 rounds. go figure.

what i would like to see which hasnt been done, the chainsaw, in my eyes the ripper isnt a traditional chainsaw, its a miniture version, equipted one handed, which has several mini-razor sharp blades attached to a chain, kinda like a turkey carver, except the blade doesnt move up and down, whereas ...

Kashluk, one thing about hit points: the vast majority of them don't actually represent physical damage capacity. The ca. 30 hp you start off with is the vast majority of your character's physical damage capacity. The rest of the hp your character gains are metaphysical, such as superior skill at d...
