Weathered 10mm Pistol

The weathered 10mm pistol is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
This pistol's weathered appearance comes from being degraded by the dry desert wind and years of use fighting rats in the cave opening of Vault 13. The weathered 10mm pistol does more damage than the standard 10mm pistol and, contrary to the pistol's name, is far more durable than the standard pistol (with comparable durability to the 10mm Pistol found in Fallout 3). In addition it has no guns skill requirement for accurate use, compared to a guns skill of 25 for the standard model. However, despite the standard 10mm pistol being classified as a holdout weapon, this pistol is not.

When fully repaired, the weathered 10mm pistol can fire 546 standard rounds before breaking.

The Weathered 10mm pistol can be repaired by the regular 10mm or any semi-automatic pistol with the Jury Rigging perk.

For a weapon obtained at the start of the game, this pistol is a powerful, reliable weapon in most cases.

Modifications

 * 10mm pistol extended mags - increases ammunition capacity (+4).
 * 10mm pistol laser sight - decreases spread, adds a laser sight effect.
 * 10mm pistol silencer - silences the weapon.

Note that while the effects of the mods are applied as usual, the mods themselves do not appear on the weapon.

Variants

 * 10mm pistol, the standard variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
 * Veronica's 10mm pistol, a unique non-playable 10mm pistol used by Veronica. The only difference between it and the standard 10mm pistol is its usage of the companion ammunition.

Location
The weathered 10mm pistol is only available by redeeming the classic pack code included in pre-ordered or first-run collector's edition versions of Fallout: New Vegas from EB Games (Australia and Canada), GameStop (U.S.) or Game (U.K.). It is not available anywhere outside of the classic pack add-on, though several user-made game modifications are available on the PC that replicate the weapon's features into a custom weapon.

Bugs

 * Applying modifications to this weapon will not update the weapon's appearance, this was introduced as a fix to the missing meshes bug.
 * (Fixed) If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have the Weathered 10mm 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.
 * If you mod it with laser and extended magazine the gun becomes invisible in first person mode and the screen gets partially blocked. In third person, a giant, red, transparent box with a yellow "!" mark will appear to go through the player.
