The Smith & Wesson .32 pistol is a small gun weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics

The Smith & Wesson .32 pistol was manufactured throughout the late 19th century and into the early part of the 20th, and as the name would imply, it uses .32 caliber rounds for ammunition. It is commonly found to be in use by Capital Wasteland raiders. Although it is a light weapon, it pales against the N99 10mm pistol in terms of rate of fire and damage. It can, however, be fired quite fast if the player can get a rhythm down.

Durability

The .32 pistol can fire a total of about 556 standard rounds, the equivalent of 112 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

• Wild Bill's sidearm The Pitt (add-on)- Found in Wild Bill's pockets, Wild Bill's sidearm is much more powerful than any other small sidearm. (Exceptions being the laser pistol, the plasma pistol, Colonel Autumn's 10mm pistol or the scoped .44 magnum.)

	The following is based on Fallout 3 cut content and has not been confirmed by canon sources.

• Law Dog - A variant of the .32 that was cut from the base game.

Locations

• Big Town - Flash and Timebomb will always be wielding one. Also, Shorty will have this weapon if you choose the Small Guns path.
• James seems to have a fondness for .32 pistols, as he is equipped with one after exiting Tranquility Lane, and two can be found inside Project Purity, one in the gift shop, and another in the basement sub-levels.
• Hubris Publishing - one can be found in the building, under a table in a dead man's hand, implying he committed suicide. There is a Nuka-Cola Vending Machine, whiskey, and Quantum right next to it, which help in locating it.
• In Megaton, Jenny Stahl carries one.
• Minefield - one can be found near the mattress in the building where Arkansas snipes from.
• National Guard Depot bunker - One can be found on a wooden shelf, next to a box of 5 bullets for it.
• Broken Steel Olney Underground - one can be found in perfect condition, on a shelf.
• Springvale - one can also be found with Silver at the small ranch, which can be entered right after exiting the Vault.
• These are not very hard to come by. Most locations to find it are in shops, on raiders and Talon Company mercs.
• They can sometimes be found in Pulowski Preservation shelters along with some skeletons.
• Dominic D'Ellsadro, Seagrave Holmes, Sierra Petrovita, and Sticky all carry the .32 pistol.
