do these guns exist?

[Skillet]

So being a young guy, I enjoy my video games. One in particular is Fallout New Vegas. The amount of cool guns that exist in game makes me wish to see them in real life, and I have been looking around for guns like these but have little success.

sorry for the massive pictures

the first is a revolver called the ranger sequoia chambered in 45-70 GOVT

the second is a 357 mag revolver called "Lucky"



and the last is a 9mm called "Maria", looks to be a Browning Hi Power



Do you know if these are based off of any real life guns, maybe one you have seen before? Does anyone do engraving like this? I am particularly interested if the 45-70 govt revolver even exists. Owning one would be something to behold, indeed.
thanks for your help

The .357 magnum is a Colt Single Action Army, or a replica. I have a replica in .357 magnum and it's a ton of fun.

You can find several replica SAA's made by Uberti, Heritage and others. The Heritage models are not at all expensive and are reasonably good given their price point.

Number 3 is Browning Hi Power

I don't know that THOSE GUNS exist outside the game, but the TYPES are available and the embellishment could be done if you wanted to pay for it. The BHP is a close representation of a renaissance model, although you would have to have the Madonna grips scrimshawed.

Skillet,

Just an FYI. For most (virtually all?) a Ranger Sequoia in .45/70 in the real world would be a completely unmanageable beast and worthless after the first shot in a gunfight (first shot pretty questionable too). Have fun with the games and remember... they ain't real.

I think the "Sequoia" is supposed to resemble a Colt Walker, the "Lucky" a Colt Single Action Army. But they are not "real" or ever intended to be copies of real guns. The "Maria" is a reasonably good copy of the Browning High Power, with the sort of decoration a gringo might think a Mexican owner would have.

If you want to know for sure check out this very useful wiki (link to fallout article) http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas

I'm a big movie and game buff and love to find out what was used. The people that participate are very thorough and you can often learn about where they used prop guns or if there are any inaccuracies depicted in the game (check out any of the call of duty titles for an entertaining read, so many glitches and wrong details).

Partly true. Magnum Research makes the BHR chambered in 45-70, so it is a real gun. It would be fairly useless in a gunfight as you said, but they were originally designed for hunting.

I've played New Vegas. Fun game. Terrible depiction of many of the guns though. The SA guns get loaded like a modern swing out DA revolver. It kind of made me laugh the first time I saw it.

The one I like is the commander length 1911 that "The Burnned MAn" carries.

The Sequoya appears to be modeled off the old Bison Bull monster revolver.

That's the Renaissance grade Browning Hi-Power.

Here's a Century .45-70 6-shooter, between a BFR .45-70 5-shooter and a "little gun" (New Model Blackhawk in .357) for scale. Neither is an exact match for the video game .45-70 revolver, but should serve as examples of what's involved here, size-wise.

I really, really like FNV. A lot more so than the original Fallout 3. Great game. Although I do have my nitpicks, just like everyone else... (no bolt actions in .30-06 or .308?!)

I've used Lucky from beginning to end on more than one 'toon. It's a great gun, especially at the beginning and for travelling the wasteland.

I was actually really excited to see them use the BHP as the "standard" semi-auto gun in FNV vs. the made-up sci-fi gun in 10mm. Interesting choice.

The Browning Renaissance High Power was the gun that was used to make the master mold, but "La Virgen de Guadalupe" grips are very much Mexican-themed.

God bless the Mexicans.. pretty sweet! And it's "Hi-Power".

 

[WardenWolf]

Well, saying a .45-70 revolver would be useless in a gunfight after the first shot assumes you MISS. Let's be honest: there's not much that would stand up to that. Of course, there's also the possibility of multiple attackers. But, yeah. That kind of round turns cover into concealment.

Terrible depiction of many of the guns though. The SA guns get loaded like a modern swing out DA revolver. It kind of made me laugh the first time I saw it.

Remember it is alternate history, the sequoia/hunting revolver isn't a BFR. Note that the .357 SAA clone loads through the gate.


I always thought that the semi-auto, "Service rifle" (SP1/AR15) with the flip UP (not down) port cover and the red bakelite stocks was neat.
