The M&A 9mm pistol is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

BackgroundEdit

The M&A 9mm pistol is a single-action semi-automatic handgun, designed by M&A Guns Manufacturers. It is the standard sidearm of the New California Republic Army and a common sight in the Mojave Wasteland.

CharacteristicsEdit

The M&A 9mm pistol is one of the most common guns to be found early on in the game. It is very cheap to buy, utilizes very common ammunition, has no guns skill requirement, and has a very low Strength requirement in order to be handled effectively. It has three-dot luminescent front and rear iron-sights for better low-light fighting, and a minor idle sway.

It can be modified with a short range scope and an extended magazine to further improve its performance. Furthermore, it is considered an improved holdout weapon, and can therefore be concealed with a sneak skill of 50 or greater.

DurabilityEdit

The 9mm pistol can fire about 745 standard rounds, the equivalent of 58 reloads, or 38 reloads when modded with extended magazines, from full condition before breaking.

ModificationsEdit

• 9mm pistol extended mags - +7 rounds per magazine.
• 9mm pistol scope - adds a 2x20mm short range scope with 1.6x magnification.

VariantsEdit

• Maria, a unique version of the 9mm pistol used by Benny.
• Dead Money Dean's 9mm pistol, a unique non-playable 9mm pistol used by Dean Domino. It only differs from the standard pistol in its use of companion ammunition. There are also five other versions that have an increased linear scale of damage.

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

• Debug megapistol, a developmental tool that has a tremendous damage of 9999.

Behind the scenesEdit

The M&A 9mm pistol model is based on the real-world Browning Hi-Power pistol.^[1]

BugsEdit

• ps3 xbox360 Sometimes when aiming through the 9mm pistol scope in first person, it will show the scope crosshairs, but oddly will have the pistol model in front of the crosshairs, as if the player was aiming down the iron sights. It does not affect firing, but it's almost impossible to aim. ^[verified]
• pc ps3 xbox360 If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have a 9mm pistol equipped and drawn, the reload animation takes twice as long as normal. This can be solved by simply switching to another gun and then back again. ^[verified]

1. ↑ J.E. Sawyer on Formspring:{{quotation|In my opinion, the BHP is a timeless design and its form is quite distinctive when compared to Fallout's 10mm pistols. Also, since I knew we weren't going to implement an M1911-style .45, the BHP-based 9mm design gives an extremely similar aesthetic (so similar that a lot of people assume it IS an M1911) while fitting into the 9mm/10mm/12.7mm semi-auto handgun progression in F:NV.
