The Smith & Wesson .32 pistol uses .32 caliber rounds for ammunition. It is commonly used by raiders and wastelanders. However, it deals very little damage per shot.

Durability[]

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

Variants[]

  • The Pitt (add-on) Wild Bill's Sidearm - A unique variant that is more powerful and durable. Found on Wild Bill's body.
  • The Pitt (add-on) Concealed .32 pistol - A miscellaneous item that can be given to the player by Wernher during Into The Pitt if they ask him if they can sneak a weapon past the gate guards, then ask for a gun. It is replaced by a normal .32 pistol once Into The Pitt is completed.
  • Cut content Law Dog - A variant of the .32 pistol that was cut from the base game.
