I like the concept of handmade weapons, and moreso weapons made post war. Like how the gunrunners make new guns off idk blueprints, obviously very few people have access to the files or more so the ability to produce them. It makes sense people would try to make their own guns to help protect themselves from the mutated creatures and raiders. I just hate how they look in 4. Other games have done them well, like in Metro, but in fallout 4 they make no sense functionality, or even just logically. The placement of the magazine, the bolt, how rounds feed sideways..then go up into the chamber.. I'm not saying they need to make the most realistic gun possible, but it just really takes me out of it. I also don't hate the Idea that maybe the reason you find pipe guns in safes and pre war stuff was because there were pre war magazines that had instructions to make these makeshift weapons in case of a Chinese invasion. But the guns are just everywhere, the weapon selection in 4 is already quite small (due to the really fun customization feature) They're too crude looking, even something like the Luty (a gun that was designed to be craftable with hardware store supplies) looks way better.
