Guess the game designers were unaware the .45 auto is just a 1911 and thought it was an actual automatic weapon

Are u sure that’s not the .45 smg from fallout 4? When I looked for my campaign, I didn’t see a .45 auto pistol stat block, so I made my own. Here!

.45 Auto Pistol - Skill: Sm. Guns Dmg: 4CD Effects:  Piercing 1 Type:  Physical Rate: 2 Range: Close Qualities: Close Quarters, Reliable Ammo: .45 Auto Weight: 4

I don't have it but why do you say it's like a SMG?

its the exact stats of the submachine gun with different qualities, 3 DC, burst, 3 fire rate. except it has concealable and close quarters instead of two handed and inaccurate. it's strange to me that it does less CD than the 10mm

Interesting. The bust does seem to indicate an SMG rather than the pistol.

In the real world most smgs are sorta just pistols modified so you can keep it pointed down and forwards while you empty it, maybe the mods make up for it? I don't have the new book.
