21 Chapter 21 - 16 years in this world

After another year, the settlement grew slowly, and with it Brandon, he turned 16 years old.

During this time, the second floor of the main building was built and now the residents have a clean kitchen and a comfortable dining room where they could eat.

Also this year, due to the growing interest of merchants in this city, information began to spread faster and 6 more people joined them ..

Also, the 1st floor of Brandon's Tower was completed as he was eager to start various experiments.

After 2 years of study, Victoria gradually began to put her skills into practice, disassembling and assembling various things. By the way, Brandon also forced Victoria to undergo physical training, training her strength, endurance and agility. Here's what her stats looked like after 2 years of training.

[Victoria Fox]

[Race - Human, subrace - Human mutated]

[Date of birth 25.04.2265] (25 April)

[Age - 19 years old]

[Attitude - Worship]

[Perception - 5]

[Endurance - 6]

[Charisma - 7]

[Intelligence - 7]

[Agility - 4]

[Luck - 3]

[Special talents:]

[Skills]

[Primitive Disassembly Skill - Level 6]

[Primitive Armourer - Level 7]

[Primitive Assembling - 7th level]

[Mediocre shooting - level 4]

When Victoria was improving her skills, Brandon asked the system about the relationship between the skills that are in the system and the abilities from fallout 4, for example, his medic 1.

The system explained that the data in the system is the level of application of the skill in practice, while the skills from fallout 4 provide knowledge and information.

It's like a donut. It can be eaten without the filling, but it will not be so tasty, but nutritious, but if you eat only the filling, it will be tasty for you, but you will not eat at all.

In this example, the data from the system is the donut and the fallout 4 skills are the stuffing.

After building the workshop, Brandon began thinking about weapons for the settlement.

Of course he could have assembled a Kalashnikov assault rifle or an M16, but he did not want that. After thinking, he decided to assemble a submachine gun, since the city does not need machine guns yet, and this type of weapon is perfect for defense, it is unlikely that any of the raiders will climb the wall in the rain of bullets.

Experimenting with different variations, he came up with the one he liked the most.

This is a submachine gun with a retractable buttstock, allowing you to fire, both from a one-handed automatic pistol, and from two hands, as from a machine gun.

On top of the weapon was a mount for additional modules, such as a sight.

A muzzle brake was installed on the barrel of the weapon for more accurate shooting.

As a material, Brandon used a variety of lightweight metals for lightening, as well as plastic.

The magazine connector was located like a pistol, right under the trigger, allowing you to hold the weapon with one hand. By the way, the magazine held 45 rounds 5.56. mm.

Holding a weapon in his hands, Brandon evaluated him from all sides, summing up that if Elena received such a weapon, she could calmly deal with several raiders, since good automatic weapons are very difficult to find in the wasteland, mostly these are poor machine guns of which it is very difficult hit the target. Therefore, most raiders prefer to use pistols to suppress opponents and all kinds of melee weapons.

[Congratulations to the host for creating a new weapon in the wasteland, please name it]

After some thought, Brandon decided to name it BRAN-1.

Of course after that he imprinted his Salamander emblem on the weapon

[BRAN - 1]

[Damage - 21]

[Magazine - 45 rounds]

[Weight-3.2 kg]

[Cost - 215]

[Mods: Salamander Emblem +1 Fire Damage]

Satisfied with his work, Brandon called Victoria and handed her the weapon.

Taking it in hand, she looked in surprise, then at the weapon, then at Brandon.

-What is this weapon? Did you do it?

With a nod of his head, Brandon said.

-Yes, this is the BRAN-1 submachine gun, in the near future the city guards will be armed with this weapon.

-Wow, that's cool, I'm sure no one else in the wasteland has such a beautiful weapon. How did you come up with such a design? You know, basically, in the commonwealth, everyone's weapons are made of pipes, nails, electrical tape, but here we really have something else. The caravan men will probably give back the last covers so we can let them distribute these weapons.

Satisfied with her praise, Brandon smiled and said.

-Caravan men are really a problem, I think it will be necessary to introduce a new law restricting the sale of weapons, prohibiting the sale of anything other than pistols and submachine guns. Ok, you will help me, while I will make weapons, and you start making 5.56mm cartridges, we will need a lot of them.

Victoria nodded her head and left the workshop for materials.

Meanwhile Brandon began to think.

{Starting weapon ready, I think nothing threatens us with it for now, But after Nate appeared, real chaos will begin in Boston, so you need to recruit and train people as quickly as possible to capture Vault 75 in order to start producing really interesting things}
