The Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese pistol is a small gun in Fallout 3. It is a unique incendiary version of the Chinese pistol.

BackgroundEdit

The Zhu-Rong is a unique incendiary pistol created by L.O.B. Enterprises for the People's Republic of China. The v418 was the final version of the project and was slated for mass production. However, a federal investigation of the company led to the discovery of the company's involvement with the Chinese military. The company was then to be shut down, causing the gun to remain the only prototype in existence.

CharacteristicsEdit

The Zhu-Rong pistol only does four points of damage with every shot, the same as the regular Chinese pistol. It does, however, have a slower rate of fire than its regular counterparts. Although its damage might not be quite on a par with other more powerful sidearms, the v418 has incendiary properties, as well as the longest range of all incendiary weapons, aside from the heavy incinerator. Oftentimes, enemies killed with this pistol will explode into dozens of flaming chunks.

DurabilityEdit

The Zhu-Rong can fire a total of about 1667 rounds, the equivalent of 167 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

VariantsEdit

• Chinese pistol

LocationEdit

The Zhu-Rong pistol can only be found in L.O.B. Enterprises. It is found behind a Very Hard locked door (requires a Lockpick skill of 100) in the CEO's office in the case on his desk. The key for the case is inside his desk. It is also possible to reach the case by working your way around the edge of the destroyed top floor until you are on the other side of the locked door.

NotesEdit

The Zhu-Rong pistol is the only weapon in the game that uses 10mm rounds that incinerate.

Behind the scenesEdit

The name is a reference to the ancient Chinese god of fire, Zhu Rong.

BugsEdit

• pc ps3 xbox360 There is a bug where only the first shot from the pistol in V.A.T.S. does any damage. Once an enemy is on fire, additional hits from the Zhu-Rong seem to have no effect. ^[verified]
• pc ps3 xbox360 This weapon is unaffected by Pyromaniac, even though the Fallout 3 Official Game Guide says it is. ^[verified]
