“A .223 rifle modified and cut down to a pistol. This is a one-of-a-kind firearm, obviously made with love and skill.”
The .223 pistol is a small gun in Fallout and Fallout 2.
Characteristics
The .223 is one of the best of the small guns pistols. It does more damage than any other non-energy pistol, and fires a .223 FMJ round, which has the best DR modifier and second-best AC modifier of any ammunition. The only downside is the low ammunition capacity, a paltry 5 rounds. Even the 14mm and .44 revolver hold more ammunition. Still, with .223 a common caliber and the damage on the .223 pistol being astronomical, it's easily one of the best weapons in the game.
Locations
Fallout
- A reward for helping Irwin in the Hub.
Fallout 2
- Can be purchased from Buster in NCR.
- Or from Eldridge in New Reno after becoming a Made Man.
- Or even from Mai Da Chiang at Red 888 Guns in San Francisco.
- You can get it from a "gang" random encounter. Each male in a leather jacket toting an SMG is really carrying a .223. The girls with leather jackets and mohawks have 14mm pistols instead.
- There's one in a locker in Vault 15, with a suit of combat armor. They're on the second level.
- Used by Lo Pan when you fight him in unarmed combat for the Dragon. He cheats.
Notes
- When they carried this weapon over from Fallout into Fallout 2, the developers neglected to change the description. While in Fallout this was indeed a one-of-a-kind weapon, you can find several of them throughout the game in Fallout 2, making the description a bit misleading.
Appearances
The .223 pistol appears in Fallout and Fallout 2. It also makes an appearance in Fallout: New Vegas, labeled as "That Gun".
Behind the scenes
Bladerunner gun
- This pistol's appearance is modeled exactly after Deckard's handgun in Blade Runner, right down to its double triggers and red LEDs.
- The .223 pistol was planned to be included in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky as an easter egg, along with the Bozar and generic .223 ammunition, but only remains partially implemented in the game's resources.
Bugs
- The .223 pistol, despite being labeled as a pistol, uses the sub-machine gun animation. This prevents certain models, like Cassidy's or Vic's, from using it, but lets others like Sulik and Katja wield it. [verified]
