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 (Fallout) is a small gun in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics

The .223 is the god of all 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 ammo. The only downside is the low ammo capacity, a paltry 5 rounds. Even the 14mm and .44 revolver hold more ammo. 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.

Appearances

The .223 pistol (Fallout) appears in Fallout and Fallout 2. It also makes an appearance in Fallout: New Vegas, labelled as "That Gun".

Bugs

  • The .223 pistol, despite being labeled as a pistol, uses the submachine gun animation. This prevents certain models, like Cassidy's or Vic's, from using it, but lets others like Sulik and Katja wield it.
  • 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.

Behind the scenes

Bladerunner gun

  • This pistol's appearance is modeled exactly after Deckard's handgun in the movie Blade Runner, right down to its double triggers and red LEDs.
