.223 pistol

Fallout, Fallout 2

The original .223 pistol that became one of the iconic weapons of New California, was originally a full sized .223 revolving rifle, belonging to Irwin, a farmer outside of the Hub. He cut his rifle down to the size of a large pistol, leaving the bolt handle and the original, vestigial trigger intact.[1] This unique weapon offered firepower comparable to a hunting rifle in the compact package of a pistol. Five rounds of .223 ammunition were more than enough to deal with most dangers out in the wastes.[2]

Modified .223/5.56mm pistol

This iconic sidearm caught the eye of gunsmiths and by 2241, and the pistol was deemed profitable for mass production.[3] Vestigial elements were shed to smooth the weapons' profile, and to help further improve performance. The internal mechanisms are retained from the original .223 revolving rifle, modified as needed to create a powerful double-action revolver.[4]

Fallout 4 Legendary 10mm Pistol

.32 pistol

A Smith & Wesson .32 Double Action revolver is a small, concealable sidearm whose origins date back to the late 19th century. This break-top revolver is chambered in .32 caliber short, making it woefully underpowered against most threats lurking in the wasteland.

Single-action revolver

Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 76

One of the most recognizable creations of the American firearm industry, the .357 Magnum revolver dates back to the 19th century, when the United States military was looking for a new service revolver. The success of the design left to its widespread adoption by public and private buyers, eventually becoming a symbol of American conquest of the so-called Wild West. The rugged design that has stood the test of time against contemporary pistols has made it a popular choice in some corners of the wasteland.[5] Functionally, the single-action revolver is exactly what it says on the tin, a single-action, fixed-cylinder revolver. It's highly reliable and fires a powerful round, though its antiquated design requires it to be loaded one bullet at a time, through a loading gate located next to the cylinder. An all around great weapon for beginners, but it's quickly replaced by better pistols. The revolver comes in stainless steel or blued nickel finish with either a bone or cherry wood grip and can even be modified by the user for a custom fit.

From a design perspective, the revolver is essentially a refined version of earlier percussion and cartridge revolvers. The centrally mounted cylinder carries six rounds, fired down a lengthy barrel. Elevated high above the grip, the positioning reduces recoil and improves aiming ability. The one peculiarity of the design is that there is no real safety beyond a safety notch that could be easily damaged and disabled by a sharp blow, causing the weapon to discharge. Pre-War users would usually leave one chamber unloaded for this purpose. Post-War, that round means the difference between life and death.[6]

The Single Action was available in multiple calibers, including .357 and .44 Magnum.[7]

Smith & Wesson M29

Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics

The Smith & Wesson Model 29 is a six-shot, double-action revolver chambered for the .44 Magnum cartridge, manufactured since 1955. This large frame revolver offers excellent accuracy, firepower, and reliability. Multiple models remain available and quite popular in the wastelands, from the shortened 4 1/2 inch variant to the full size, high end monsters with scopes.[8] By default, the revolvers come with tritium illuminated sights.[9]

  • For the Smith & Wesson M29 with speed loader found in Fallout 2, see: .44 Magnum (speed load).

Scoped .44 Magnum

The scoped .44 Magnum is a very high-powered pistol. It has a very long effective range, which is further extended by the scope, but also has a low rate of fire for a double-action revolver.

  • For the unique versions that appear in Fallout 3, see: Blackhawk.

.44 Magnum

Fallout: New Vegas, Van Buren

The .44 Magnum revolver is a double action, swing-out cylinder revolver. Additionally, the .44 Magnum reloads faster, due to its speed-loader. It has glowing tritium sights. The .44 Magnum revolver is a very durable weapon that can also be concealed.

  • For the unique versions that appear in Fallout: New Vegas, see: Mysterious Magnum.

.44 Pistol

Fallout 4, Fallout 76

The .44 Pistol (despite its name) is a single-action revolver. The .44 pistol can be modified anyway the user wants it. Additionally, the .44 pistol reloads faster, due to its speed-loader.

  • For the unique versions that appear in Fallout 4, see: Eddie's Peace, Kellogg's .44 pistol, and The Gainer.

Casull revolver

The following is based on Fallout Tactics and some details might contradict canon.

This pistol has a slightly higher damage compared to the Colt .45 found earlier, and wipes the floor with all of the 9mm handguns. It has a lower ammunition capacity and a lower range than the .45, but most targets won't take more than 6 shots at close range to drop. Eventually, though, you'll want to switch to either a Desert Eagle or a .44 revolver, if only for the adaptability and abundance of .44 ammunition.

Colt 6520 10mm

Fallout, Fallout 2

The Colt 6520 10mm autoloading pistol is a highly durable and efficient weapon developed by Colt Firearms prior to the Great War.[10] It proved to be resistant to the desert-like conditions of the post-nuclear wasteland and is a fine example of workmanship and quality construction (at least for the pre-War models, which became more scarce over time). The simple design of the gun allows it to be easily manufactured with relatively basic equipment, making it possible to be replicated in workshops in the post-nuclear world. The Colt 6520's durability, reliability, and simple design makes it very popular among wasteland denizens, for whom sophisticated high maintenance weapons would be a liability to survival.[11]

Hunting revolver

Fallout: New Vegas, Gun Runners' Arsenal

10mm Pistol Fallout 76

The hunting revolver is a large, double-action revolver that fires .45-70 Gov'tammunition. It does significantly more damage in comparison to the .44 magnum revolver and comes with a scope as standard, versus requiring a modification as with the .44 magnum. The hunting revolver scope also offers more powerful magnification at 2.46x, compared to the 1.86x magnification for the .44 magnum scope.

Pipe revolver pistol

Fallout 4, Fallout 76

Like other pipe weapons, pipe revolvers are crude, makeshift weapons manufactured by resourceful smiths from before the Great War in gangland Detroit.[12] The pipe revolver has found continued use more than 200 years in areas such as the Commonwealth due to ease of crafting from abundant rusted piping and corroded wood. While the pipe revolver is easy to make, wielding one is not the case. The pipe revolver is single-action and requires the hammer to be pulled back before each shot, and recoil from each shot is near unwieldy due to the lightness of the revolver the rounds it fires, from .38 to as large as .308. However, reloading is fast as the use of a speedloader enables the user to reload in a couple seconds.

Police pistol

The police pistol is a double-action .357 revolver with a swing-out cylinder similar to that of a .44 magnum revolver instead of a loading gate like the .357 magnum revolver. Though it is a double-action, it is fired by the Courier in single-action form with the hammer being cocked back after each shot to increase accuracy.[13] In comparison to the .357 magnum, it features a shorter barrel and a worn matte black finish. It also lacks rear sights and has a shorter hammer with a flat, textured spur.

Ranger Sequoia

This large, double-action revolver is a rare scopeless variant of the hunting revolver, and is used exclusively by the New California Republic Rangers. It is carried only by veteran rangers after 20 years of service. The weapon has a dark finish and has intricate gold engravings all along the main action itself as well as a golden hammer, trigger and sights. The barrel is engraved with the phrases, 'For Honorable Service' on the right and 'Against All Tyrants' on the left. The red wooden grip is inlaid with the standing bear and star, the insignia of the Rangers, and has a brass plate attached to the bottom which reads '20 Years'.

Western Revolver

Nuka-World, Fallout 76

A single-action revolver chambered in .44 caliber used in Nuka-World's Dry Rock Gulch theme park attraction. Nickle plated and with a pale, worn wood grip for authenticity, the revolver was used to allow park guests to duel One-Eyed Ike. Despite being handed to park guests for participating in park attractions, the western revolver is a serious weapon, outclassing the more commonplace .44 pistol. Reloading is also similar to the .44 pistol, with the cylinder swinging out to eject all spent rounds and a speedloader being used quick reload a full cylinder.

Background

10mm pistols are sidearms using the 10mm ammunition that was common before the Great War. They were used extensively by the Bureau of Alcohol, Drugs, Tobacco, Firearms and Lasers, while in the military such pistols were being phased out in favor of energy weapons.[1] Their ruggedness, reliability, and firepower made them a popular choice among wastelanders and thus a staple of wasteland firefights.[2]

Colt 6520 10mm pistol

Fallout, Fallout 2, Van Buren

N80 10mm pistol

none (mentioned in Fallout 3)

The 10mm N80 sidearm was standard issue military gear until it was phased out in 2051.[6]

N99 10mm pistol

Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout Shelter

The large-framed, gas-operated N99 was selected as the standard issue conventional sidearm of the United Statesmilitary, following the phaseout of the N80 in 2051. The long-barreled pistol remained in service for 26 years, until the Great War destroyed the United States. The pistol is designed to withstand the most extreme conditions, which was one of the requirements for a new service sidearm. It can also be repaired easily by anyone with even the most basic technical knowledge. This includes both clearing misfeeds[7] and restoring a unit to working condition after long exposure to elements without maintenance.[6]

These features also make it popular with wastelanders, who appreciate the ease of maintenance. It remains a common weapon, as even though many civilian units were ruined, they can easily be restored by anyone with some repair knowledge. Even damaged units can be used reliably, though they will offer subpar performance and jam frequently. The number of manufactured pistols means that parts are easy to come by, however.[6]

Combat pistol

Fallout 4, Fallout 76

The 10mm combat pistol[8] is a next-generation 10mm sidearm created before the Great War. While it is a different design from the N99,[9] it uses the same gas-operated action, allowing it to use 10mm ammunition with ease. Key differences include a slide stop, automatically locking the slide back when the weapon runs dry, a disassembly lever in the front section, safety in front of the trigger, rather than on the slide, and compatibility with a plethora of aftermarket modifications.[10]

Available to both government and civilian clients, the combat pistol could be fitted with an automatic receiver, turning it into a submachine gun, as well as a variety of optics (including the high-tech recon scopes), silencers, and other accessories to improve its performance. Of course, the flexibility came at a cost, as the combat pistol required more expensive machining and materials than the N99, consisting primarily of simple flat surfaces.[11]

  • For the unique version that appears in Fallout 4, see: Wastelander's Friend.

Deliverer

A cutting edge pre-War design, the Deliverer combines firepower and subtlety in one, compact package.[12] In terms of design, it's a small, concealable pistol designed for police work. It features an exposed hammer, a traditional double-action trigger mechanism, a single-column magazine, and a fixed barrel that also acts as the guide rod for the recoil spring. The shorter grip, barrel, and reduced magazine capacity result in a smaller size than other pistols of a comparable caliber and made better suited to plainclothes or undercover work.[13]

Shanxi Type 17 Chinese pistol

The Shanxi Type 17 is a recoil operated, locked breech semi-automatic pistol. The bolt and barrel are locked by a vertically tilting locking piece with two lugs locking into recesses beneath the bolt. It features an adjustable sight for up to 1000 meters, though it's mostly a cosmetic feature, as the ammunition it is made for stops being accurate at less than a quarter of that distance. Unlike most modern pistols, the Shanxi Type 17 is loaded from a stripper clip into a fixed, non-removable box magazine.[14]

The pistol was first produced in 1929 by the Taiyuan Arsenal, based on the Mauser C96 pistol. However, the Type 17 enjoyed renewed popularity and widespread deployment as the standard sidearm of the People's Liberation Army during the Sino-American War.[15]

Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese pistol

Zhu-Rong v418, developed under the codename ZRIN by L.O.B. Enterprises, is a man-portable incendiary weapon built on the basis of a standard Shanxi Type 17 sidearm. The key component is an acumist barrel, replacing the standard one. Upon pressing the trigger, a standard 10mm round is fired and partially liquefied by the barrel coating. Upon impact, it liquifies entirely and delivers incendiary damage. Retardant jacketing and internal heat diffusers protect the operator's hands and fingers from injury. These properties give it superior accuracy and performance over other ZRIN prototypes, enough to qualify it as a production candidate.[16]

Earlier prototypes were much less successful. ZRIN-363 weighed 118.3 kg and emitted dangerous fumes.[17] The next model, ZRIN-375, used a proprietary ammunition type based on the 10mm round. However, the caplet with amalgamating agents, while creating spectacular firebursts and shrapnel projection in line with the project requirements, it proved excessively sensitive: Ammunition could explode due to vibration produced by simply walking.[18] The penultimate functional prototype, ZRIN-401, rectified all of these problems, by using standard 10mm ammunition and using an acumist barrel to superheat the projectiles, but the lack of heat protection meant using it for prolonged periods of time was hazardous to the operator.[19]

    The N99 proved to stand up to its claims and as a result, is one of the most common weapons found in use in the Wasteland.
