Fallout: New Vegas Walkthrough -> Pistols (Part 1)
22 caliber pistol with silencer – The pistol is equipped with a silencer, so the shot sound will be inaudible to others (but not to the target). A critical hit with this weapon will not result in dismemberment, and it does 20% less damage to limbs than intended.
Facts: This pistol can be carried into places where weapons are confiscated upon entry (casinos, Caesar’s Fort, etc.).
Requirements: Strength: 1. ID: 000e377a
“The Very Same” – “The Very Same” can only be repaired with repair kits or repair NPCs. The charging indicator light remains green when idle, but turns yellow when reloading. This thing requires 6 Strength for maximum effectiveness.
Facts: This pistol benefits from the “Cowboy” perk, despite its automatic-like appearance.
Requirements: Weapon: 50 Strength: 6. ID: 00133058
9mm Pistol – This pistol comes with an optional scope and extended magazine. The front sight is tritium-coated, making accurate shooting at night more convenient. The draw weight is only 2. This model is based on the Browning Hi-Power.
Requirements: Strength: 2. ID: 000e3778
“Maria” – This pistol’s ivory grip is engraved with an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The pistol is decorated with engravings and ivory inlays. No modifications are possible.
Requirements: Strength: 2. ID: 000e7655
The .357 Magnum revolver is a single-action revolver with a fixed cylinder. Its rate of fire is extremely slow, but its powerful shot compensates for this. The weapon reloads one round at a time, and reloading can be interrupted at any time by pressing the trigger. It requires a force of 3 to use. The front sight is not particularly useful, providing accuracy only at close range.
Requirements: Strength: 3. ID: 0008f216
The Lucky is a unique revolver, distinguished from the standard .357 Magnum by its ivory grips engraved with the club suit. The color is also distinctive—the Lucky is cast in dark gray metal.
Requirements: Strength: 3. ID: 000e2c86
