That does bring up an interesting argument on tech levels:

Before the coming of the Dark Symmetry: something very high tech by today's standards with robots and AI's and lasers and the such.

Immediately after the fall: very primitive; almost WWI & II levels because mankind has not figured out how to work around the limitiations yet.

The second coming time: what you see in the game where digital technology has been sidesteped by materials technologies and just plain human know-how.

That's better, some open minded discussions on the differences of the technology between the UWZ and the movie universe.  I never wanted to start a flame war about which technology 'looked' better.  Just how they were different.  So again, there was no need for the angry comments.

To me they look like World War Two tech, but probably with slightly advanced tech.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

That said, I can't get the link to open (stupid local server) but I have seen it in the past and essentially, with all the development work done for them with designs that would have been extremely easey to reproduce (M-50's would be pretty easy to convert from M-16's.  I remember in the first episode of Firefly the browncoats had a rifle that looked much like Imperials) and they design everything from scratch.  What a waste of limited time and effort and money.  I scratch that, money and effort-they seem to have plenty of time.

I can't remember the sci-fi movie but there is one out there that just took M-16's and removed the foregrip pieces to make the weapon look different.

I believe that would be ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.  The 'futuristic" M16 was used by the US Police Force guards.

I believe you may be right and it is my duty to watch the dvd to settle this monumental question of our time.  ;D

Way to dive on the grenade, Top.  ;)

Seriously, that is one of my favorite movies of all time.  I cannot corroborate the M-16's, but Kurt Russell's da man!

Nah Kurt was supposed to look tough. Lee Van Cleef was da man. Old, bald and wearing an ear-ring and he is believable as being able to stand up to Kurt. Now that's a tough guy.
