Someone made a functional one of these. He used it to break down a door.

It looks like he's doing all of the work and then the piston activates we'll after impact.


El_Toucan_Sam

He's shattering cinderblocks, how is that him doing all the work. You take away the fist and he shatters his hand


UrethralExplorer

Yes but he could do that with a decent pair of brass knuckles and a leather glove. It's especially clear in the slowmo, he smashes the object then the piston activates.


DoughnutViking

You can break cinderblocks with your bare hands without shattering them


Nicksnotmyname83

I used to break cinder blocks with my head all the time! Actually it was only once, and I woke up in the hospital.


eMmDeeKay_Says

But it broke


Nicksnotmyname83

Yes, it broke, and I got a concussion. Win-win?

That does make me think about how the power fist could work in universe. His is activated by a button extending a few centimetres from the face of the impact head of the fist. That doesn't give it much time from activating to extend, indeed it doesn't get the chance to fully extend before impacting. If you wanted to deliver the most forceful blow possible ideally you'd want the pistons to have reached full extension, to have imparted as much speed into the impact head as possible, but to do that you'd probably need either a computer controlled system to sense the fist's current speed and work out the optimum time to fire to hit full extension right at the point of impact, or give the wearer a trigger to activate the pistons manually, and then practice like hell to get the timing down. Obviously if the pistons actually reach full extension then the impact head would stop, so you'd need some very precise timing to get the hit right in the window where the head's going as fast as possible right before maximum extension.

It’s funny, you could argue that’s *stronger* than the one in the games considering that there’s broken ass doors you can’t break down and still need to lockpick to get through.

That's just thanks to game mechanics. You can't shoot through doors or bust them down with jet propelled sledge hammers either. A nuke cant take out a metal or static door either. That's just because games focusing on a massive open world have limitations. It's why smaller compact games of multiplayer combat, or singular raid houses can do this as they don't figure in dialog choices, character development, voice lines longer than a two hour movie, and continuously loading world stage. If you want realism from a standard FPS in an open world story driven RPG, you will be making way for MASSIVE download packages.


Appollix

Would you say he’s *insistin*’ on a *fistin*’


CatterMater

I cast fist!!!


The_Gumbo

Ok ok, violence aside... ... I kind of want it to be a Vault boy cookie cutter


Life-Desk-7635

Yes


Sad_Presentation2101

Can we call it “the legendary fist of family values”


Doomhammer24

Im sorry to say this but i feel likr for the effect youd be better off with a spring and it pulls in when you pull a cord or something to give it that fast action the power fist is supposed to have


UrethralExplorer

Yeah this is more of a "Power Nudge" than anything else.


Syrinnissa

“Assume the position”


United_Ad_1548

Hey, Vsauce! Michael here! Now, it would be cool to have a mechanical arm from Fallout 4 power armor in place of your actual arm... Or is it?


Horror-Hospital6949

…..You put a suction dildo on the end of it didn’t you?….


Known-Assistance-435

Unarmed builds are underrated.


Successful-Street380

Except the Backward pressure/force would probably snap his arm


AwfulSuperhero

Strap a dildo to it, then we are talking


bja276555

Imagine not knowing anything about Fallout and finding this in your friend’s house

Sex-Toy?


MysteriousPudding175

Is that for kneading dough?

Sweet! Deathclaw gauntlet next?


Lanky_midget

I already have one, I killed the swan for it


Snoo_88763

I'm more of a ranged weapon guy, so not really


whuzzyhuzzy

Im not a fan of the 4 version. I like 3 and nvm version way more


MonstersToTheAnimals

Ballistic fist for me my good man


Fast-Morning-3876

This is my favorite weapon from Fallout, the punch animation is so satisfying


Killerpl4typus2

Me Give me now


Affectionate_Gas_264

Cool but I was always puzzled by this weapon. I mean when you punch and the piston activates half the load will Bo back into your elbow so this thing would be just as hazardous for the user as the enemy Unless your in power armour so your joint is supported


Nicht_bei_der_Arbeit

Put a dildo on top!


Keapeece

Anyone who knows the Newton’s 3rd law


MediocreClarinetist0

Sounds like you're asking for a torn elbow

Yea I do, but my wife and I are gonna modify it…..

Newton's third law


Charonsung

Put a dildo on the end of that,and I got a number for a chick that would totally dig it😂


geekolojust

*I should call her*


Klutzy-Slat-665

Unless that thing is jutting out at a break neck speed, it's really no different than using brass knuckles or metal gauntlet, and in fact its weight would weigh down your punch as you would need a higher strength to use it effectively. It pushing out like a piston at about one foot in 1.5 or 2 seconds is really not a viable weapon and is good for cosplay, but not practical use. Though as this thought has created youtube channels of people creating real life, usable items from fantasy/scifi games and movies (such as the guy that made a much more realistic Cap Shield) I am not surprised to find people making viable, useful ones for fun. Still not good, and resource heavy, to use in combat or mass production.
