Small, dependable, reasonably powerful and widely available, the 10mm Pistol has been a staple of Wasteland combat since the bombs first fell.Fallout 4 loading screens

The 10mm pistol is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Background[]

Main article: 10mm pistol

The 10mm pistol is a semi-automatic sidearm created before the Great War, known for its ubiquity and versatility.[1] While it is a different design from the N99, it can be transformed into something similar.[Non-game 1] One of the key differences is a slide release lever, automatically locking the slide back when the weapon runs dry.[2]

Available to both government and civilian clients, the 10mm pistol could be fitted with an automatic receiver to be made into a machine pistol, as well as a variety of optics (including high-tech recon scopes), suppressors, and other accessories to improve its performance.[3]

Characteristics[]

The 10mm pistol is one of the first weapons found inside Vault 111 (after the security baton), located in the overseer's office. The pre-War pistol does reasonable damage.[4] It also allows for a fair amount of modifications that further emphasizes its versatility. However, despite being provided with a substantial amount of ammunition in Vault 111, ammunition in the early portions of the game afterward is rare.

Weapon modifications[]

The AP modifiers seen below may be deceptive: the weapon's base AP cost is 28, but because it is impossible to modify this by less than 20% (-10% each from grip and barrel), the standard gun will never obey this. However, any modifiers to AP are relative to 28, so ex. a net 25% AP reduction results in a 21 AP cost gun.

Notes[]

  • Despite the long barrel modification being considered the "standard" for the weapon, the majority of 10mm pistols spawned in the world use the short barrel, similar to the .44 pistol and the Deliverer.
  • The two 10mm pistols found in Vault 111 both share a rare quality, in that whenever they are picked up, they will automatically be equipped, replacing the currently equipped weapon. This occurs even if the weapons are modded and renamed.
  • The Brotherhood of Steel refers to the pistol as the "10mm combat pistol" in a supply requistion.[4]

Bugs[]

PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 When the standard magazine mod is detached from a weapon, that mod cannot be re-attached to any 10mm pistol (including the one it came from). In order to remove a different magazine type off a 10mm pistol, either a new standard magazine must be crafted, or a different magazine type must be swapped on to the pistol in order to obtain the desired magazine mod. [verified]
