Fallout 5 Weapons

Fallout 5 contains a much more diverse range of weapons to past Fallout games. The weapons are as follows:

Handguns
Handguns are a small, one handed kind of weapon. They can be dual-wielded and are affected by the pistols skill. They are typically lighter than other guns.

Rifles
Rifles are larger than pistols. They are not as light and require two hands to wield, therefore meaning one can hold only one at a time.

Sub-Machine Guns
Sub-Machine Guns, or SMGs, are medium sized automatic weapons, affected by the SMGs skill. The list of SMGs in Fallout 5 is as follows:

Shotguns
Shotguns are rifle-sized weapons, meant to be used at closer ranges. They use shotgun shells as ammunition, and are affected by the shotguns skill. The list of shotguns in Fallout 5 are as follows:

Laser Weapons
Laser weapons can be rifles or pistols, held in one or two hands, that shoot a laser. They are affected by the Laser Weapons skill. The list of laser weapons in Fallout 5 are as follows:

Bladed
Bladed weapons are generally faster than other melee weapons, and one-handed blades can be dual-wielded. They are affected by the Blades skill.
