the primary difference between our universe and the falout universe is that technology took a different path. miniturization never occured, so the technology is a hell of a lot more advanced (because time was spent advancing it rather than making it smaller) but is more bulky. energy weapons are vible because of advancements made in portable power systems and less strict laws on the use of nuclear power production, which is why you find things like fission batteries laying around EVERYWHERE but never see AA or 9 volt batteries.
