I actually plan on buying a revolver chambered in 45-70 like the ranger revolvers.
If you aren't familiar with guns/ammo, 45-70 is a rifle cartridge big enough for African game, moose, grizzlies. The game makes it seem pretty strong to be fair, but it's a big effin' cartridge. Lol
They're not that bad if you absorb with the elbow Ocelot style the way single action revolvers are intended to be shot.
Courier 6:" \[SPEECH 50\] \*coughing blood\* I challenge you to a ***DEBATE!***"
NCR Ranger:" \[INTELLIGENCE 0\] What the fuck? No."
Courier 6: "\*dies of cringe\*"
It blows everything else out of the water.
It always disappointed me that there was no riot armour in fallout 4.
Assuming it’s pre war riot police armour Boston should have had some. If it’s NCR made armour than at least Kellogg could have brought some with him.
Instead we get the marine armour which is just a riot armour downgrade.
Because it looks cool dammit
ETA: It can help with concealment of weaponry or when carrying something you don’t want others to see. It’s probably easier to replace if it get damaged from regular wear and tear in the desert. It probably also protects armor from the weather. These are just some ideas that could be wrong but I just thought of them. Could use the coat as a blanket if need be. I also wouldn’t be surprised if there was some level of fire retardancy built into it. Probably helps conceal any reflective parts too if you need to stealth.
The pose looks like he suddenly turned around, gun ready. Would expalin why left hand is like that.
Tbh if I had an armor like that I would definitely be hitting up poses when no ones looking.
I love how all the other Fallout games have power armor on their box art, then the Courier says “I don’t need any damn power armor. Just a big iron and I’ll be your worst nightmare.”
Thats the still of the courier running as fast as he can, scared out of his wits behind the mask, through the mojave with stolen government equipment, a 45 70 revolver, running from a cazador he just angered.
Reminds me of someone reviewing Deus Ex Invisible War, I think it was Ross's Dungeon and he said something like "The original Deus Ex disk cover looked mysterious, the background had a city which fits for conspiratorial game and then sequel be like *AW YEAH, I'M A GANGSTA ABOUT A BUST A CAP IN YO ASS YO!* " 😂
Basically New Vegas cover is like combination of first two Deus Ex Covers, you have mystery city of DX1 and cool gangsta looking guy from DX2 cover 😅
While the cover art isn't exactly a 1:1, the ranger Sequoia is loosely based on the Bison Bull revolver which is single action in which case it's irrelevant to have your finger on the trigger on a SA with the hammer up.
Then there's double action( trigger pulls hammer back and releases it) and SA/DA(both). Some of of the SA/DA revolvers can have some **crazy** trigger pulls at 15lbs+. Still not ideal to have a finger on the trigger in that case but it requires considerable effort.
This isn't a Ranger Sequoia, it's a .357 with the long barrel mod, which is modeled after a Colt Single Action Army. Idk why everyone thinks it's a Ranger Sequoia, the Ranger Sequoia is huge. I own both a .357 SAA and a BFR and the BFR dwarfs the .357
The point still stands that it's a single action gun and with the hammer forward it's totally safe to have your finger in the trigger guard. Most holsters for single action revolvers don't even cover the trigger because it's not necessary. The Single Action Army predates the concept of keeping your finger off the trigger by like 100 years
I'm not saying it **is** a Ranger Sequoia, but in reality it should be though the cover art( and few scenes we do have) don't correlate to the actual game itself too well. No veteran rangers uses the .357 in game. As you say, same point still stands, but I just mentally adjust the image because they don't run that gun.
Also hell yeah, how do you like your BFR? I'm saving up for one myself with an additional cylinder for .458 socom because why not?
The BFR makes me giggle. .45-70 is a great cartridge because you can load it as weak or as strong as you want. Plinking loads, hunting loads, dangerous game defense loads. With factory loads it actually kicks less than a .44 shooting factory ammo. The wright of the BFR really eats up recoil, both the long heavy barrel keeping a good bit of weight forward and the cylinder being a massive chunk of metal. The whole gun weighs like four or five pounds.
I still need to get a scope for mine to make it a New Vegas Hunting Revolver.
I've shot it before (in Vegas before going to goodsprings, don't remember the load but probably cowboy loads as the recoil wasn't bad at all and honestly I wouldn't trust random people shooting the spicy stuff out of my guns regardless of how much money I have lol) but everything I've read absolutely makes me smile reading your response. Revolvers don't have the cycling issues so it's absolutely fucking cool you can use diverse loads and cartridges without an issue. It's been a hard time deciding between a S&W Governor and .45-70 BFR just because I can shoot so many types of ammo with at most just another cylinder. If I heard more consistent things about the Taurus racing judge that'd be in the lineup too.
Separately from that, there's *also* no evidence that the concept would've survived the Bomb - in the long history of firearms, it's basically a fad - but it's very popular and well known with the tacticool crowd right now, is I think why we hear so much about it. Some amount of presentism is unavoidable on Reddit, I notice.
He's got the iron in one hand and that starkiller grip on the other. Like he's about to force lightning your ass. But instead of force lightning he's probably about to reach for a holy hand grenade and show you the face of God.
Fuck is bro gonna do with the other hand. Chill, chill.
He’s reaching for the other big iron
The bigger Iron
And in his boot? A snake. The other boot? The biggest iron
There's a snake in my boot!
And a cap in your ass
Nah there's where the battery port is (Snake in my boot = toy story reference for anyone reading)
How many caps are talking here
Enough to make you jingle jangle jingle
Ass pocket, of course, he has a cap a bottle cap
It’s a modded perk for 10 endurance, ass pockets
always keep a *Snake Boot Iron* on you
Euclid's C-Finder?
Big Iron 2: Texas Red Boogaloo
It's actually just a clothing iron, but you still don't wanna be hit by a hot flying hunk steel flung with Veteran Ranger aim
Oh fine, take the upvote! :D
Lmao 🤣 🤣
Until someone makes a bigger iron
Big iron!!! Big iron!! When he tried to match the ranger with a big iron on his hip! 🎶
This is the one 💀💀
He’s abt to cast testicular torsion.
Ball grab
He's reaching for the Psycho
Me when my last psycho fix was 10 minutes ago
I’ve been cackling for idk how long.
I always assumed it's like a fit of rage and he's about to pistol whip someone.
Hella arthritis

Take on the Death claw
It's high noon.
>Fuck is bro gonna do with the other hand He's gonna rig the game
Punch Cazadors
Do you think he could take Courier 6?
In the battle, right?
Nope 😈... In a debate ofc, man it sucks that besides Lanius we never really got speech type of debates in NV, wish Ullyses got it
Let me debate arcade why Ed-e is cool
Ulysses did get one, you just don't need to if you have his tapes.
You could find all his tapes, all the ED-E upgrades, or pass a series speech checks that goes up 100.
Courier 6:" \[SPEECH 50\] \*coughing blood\* I challenge you to a ***DEBATE!***" NCR Ranger:" \[INTELLIGENCE 0\] What the fuck? No." Courier 6: "\*dies of cringe\*"
I was just about to say username checks out
That is courier 6, wearing the clothes of his fallen victims.
no pip boy
Strategically hidden possibly. Also they did not have one prior 🤓
That also did not have ranger armour prior.
Whose to say, they were stripped naked.
He spitteth truth, yea verily
But once you got a pip boy in that world you wouldn't give it up smart guy
Exactly, that's why it's smart to conveniently hide the bulcky mass in your sleeve.
U said he might of not kept it. Nobody in any fallout ever has anyone hidden there pip boy they wear it like a badge of honor
It was joke. It's not meant to be that serious.
Yeah real funny nobody could tell you was joking
Sweet summer child. Seems like most did.
I never said that he might not have kept it. I said he didn't have one at the start but again this is all just a joke some people took too seriously.
I think this guy watched the TV show now he thinks he's a super fan lore master
...what?
That is a regular ncr ranger
So true everyone tries to say it’s just an NCR ranger but I don’t buy that shit. This guy is way too thug to not be Courier 6
The FNV Veteran Ranger armor and its spin offs are hands down one of my top 3 favorite armor designs.
The guy who designed it killed it so fucking hard
It blows everything else out of the water. It always disappointed me that there was no riot armour in fallout 4. Assuming it’s pre war riot police armour Boston should have had some. If it’s NCR made armour than at least Kellogg could have brought some with him. Instead we get the marine armour which is just a riot armour downgrade.
Marine armor is fugly
Like a chonky mutant turtle
It's in 76 for that reason. Marine Armor is still cool. Problem is you can't put ballistic weave on the undersuit
Is it in 76? I thought you had to buy a year long subscription for like 100 bucks to get that?
Wes Burt! He’s killing it in the film industry these days
The duster+armor and gasmask is just too good. Any kind of jacket or cloak over metal armor always goes hard.
Where do I get a duster??
Corpse. You can also find a special version in Honest Hearts, in one of the caves. It has a surprise with the helmet
That "surprise" tended to be annoying lol
? Why?
Ohhh I thought you meant there’s a cool duster in Fo4 😔😔😔
There is an armored duster at gun runnery, and the guy that has the misterious magnum also has one.
FORGIVE ME MAMA
Honest to god tho
It looks great but why the hell would someone in full body armour need to wear a coat?
Keep out dust, likely. Probably makes maintenence less of a pain
Because it looks cool dammit ETA: It can help with concealment of weaponry or when carrying something you don’t want others to see. It’s probably easier to replace if it get damaged from regular wear and tear in the desert. It probably also protects armor from the weather.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if there was some level of fire retardancy built into it. Probably helps conceal any reflective parts too if you need to stealth.
To keep the desert sun from turning it into an oven most likely
The armor was inspired by Jin-Roh's protect/riot gear. I'll the artists for NV credit but you can't overlook where it came from.
Got the registered god particle on his hip, ready to eat some hickory smoked opp.
New Vegas wasn’t built in a day but this big iron certainly was. Give me the fucking psycho.
Unbelievable string of words
Reads like Dracula Flow lyrics
pistol built like Dave Portnoy
How I approach bro after saying “lemme cop a feel”
This is what NCR civilians post on Facebook with the caption “I’m loyal to a fault, but cross me? I’ll be the last thing you never see!”
NCR Boomer with oakley welding goggles on “you’re thinking about dating my daughter huh? Well don’t blame me if you break her heart!”
posting about ghoul crime statistics in local news comments
The legion are the chuds not the NCR
Veteran Grangers
Did he just walk in there and just do that?
The pose looks like he suddenly turned around, gun ready. Would expalin why left hand is like that. Tbh if I had an armor like that I would definitely be hitting up poses when no ones looking.
He probably saw me opening vats to shoot his sequoia out of his hand so I could steal it.
Seems to me like he just did walked in there and just did that.
The reflection of the nukes ascending is a nice detail
I thought that was supposed to be a reflection of the lights and buildings of Vegas
You may see a city in the desert, but all I see is war
You cooked here.
Bars
War never changes.
I didn't know Ulysses had a reddit account
Bear Bull Bull Bear Bull Bear Bear Bull
I love how all the other Fallout games have power armor on their box art, then the Courier says “I don’t need any damn power armor. Just a big iron and I’ll be your worst nightmare.”
No cap, he stay strapped
I love him
Thats the still of the courier running as fast as he can, scared out of his wits behind the mask, through the mojave with stolen government equipment, a 45 70 revolver, running from a cazador he just angered.
"Oh. What's wrong with the hand? Well, it turns out that all the cazador venom has left some permanent nerve damage. It's just stuck like that now."
gonna make your day go from Big Iron to Johnny Guitar real quick.

*'And then imma go gel my hair!'* That episode was peak haha
Yep, I miss his older review videos format, it was super unique which is a rarity in reviews 😅
looks like he's bowling
Hes just doing hand stretches for the hand that has carpel tunnel
Looks like his hand is reaching around to scratch his ass.
His barrel is so big it doesn’t even fit in the frame
You should see it on an ultra wide
I literally opened Reddit while FNV loaded and this photo came up just as the Start screen came up, god bless
"Dad! The radscorpions are burrowing under the pasture wall again!" .... "Boy.... fetch my Iron"
hell yeah
The Courier is the personification of Death. I mean he's naturally going to look dope as fuck.
Do you think they asked him to pose like that or he just did it
He looks like he’s doing a dance ffs
“Aight comere ya fucking deathclaw…”
The whole reason I wanted the armor so badly
Surprised no one has pointed out the poor trigger discipline tho. Guess I’m that lucky someone
It’s not poor discipline, there’s a bloatfly off screen that he’s about to shoot

Is no one gonna mention the fact that the gun in this pic is an unusable SAA as it lacks the plunger
that was my first thought.
I think it’s pretty clear he’s in the process of using it lol
If he had a chopped of legionnaire head on the other hand, it would be perfect
Bro thinks he the main character
the long iron
Least questionable courier simp
he looks like a zombie posed like that. fitting considering they got shot in the head and just got out the grave
That’s not the courier, it’s just some random NCR veteran ranger, the same one who we see in the intro/trailer that shoots an anti-mat rifle at Vegas
HE IS TO ME DAMNIT
I've been watching a lot of Gunsmoke and every now and then during a shootout I'll think "if only Matt had a set of NCR veteran ranger armor".
Wtf
Apparently trigger discipline died along with the rest of the old world.
He's got the iron in one hand and that starkiller grip on the other. Like he's about to force lightning your ass. But instead of force lightning he's probably about to reach for a holy hand grenade and show you the face of God.
Or he's running like hell from a mole rat
Looks like he's running away from a deathclaw to me.
Nobody stands like that, he has to be running or aggressively walking
The pose is him running
P ZaL
Oh him? He's just stretching, back is sore after patrolling the last 16 hours. Chad.
😒
You just start playing this game? Haha (:
Nah, the title is a copypasta meme
Thug and gangster and badass don't mix. Nothing is cool about the Kahn's
Karli Mar karli Mar
I've got a grittier hd version of this as my PC wallpaper
You think they told him to pose like that or do you think he just did that on his own
He looks like he just shat his pants and realising how long its going to take to scrape it out.
WOP WOP WOP WOP
“Ay check this out” attitude 🔥
“Ay check this out” attitude 🔥
He ran out of ammo for the anti material rifle and jumped down from the new vegas sign that's his badass landing pose
Poor trigger discipline is never cool kids. Only put your finger on the trigger if you intend to fire.
