Reservist's Rifle

The Reservist's Rifle appears in Fallout 3 and is a unique version of the Sniper Rifle.

Location

 * This variation of the sniper rifle is used by and drops from Drifter in Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel.

Tips

 * You can obtain this unique Rifle repeatedly by shooting it out his hands picking it up and running off with it. When you visit him 72 hours later, he'll be equipped with another Reservist's Rifle.
 * One successful method is to target the Drifter's right arm, then left arm, then right arm again in V.A.T.S. Target when Drifter is reloading and rifle is held solely by right hand.  The Rifle was dropped with no damage caused by player (condition >50%).  Weapon used was laser rifle.  Drifter was not killed.  (B. Virdot 20:03, 23 January 2009 (UTC))

Unmarked quest: High Plains Drifter
Drifter is on the top floor of Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel. As the planks he walks on cannot be reached normally you have to kill him in a way that makes his corpse, parts of it or the gun fall down to the floor(if you have the Bloody Mess perk then it's easier to make part of his corpse drop).

Trivia

 * The "Reservist's" title might refer to the US Army Reserve, making a reference to some of Fallout 2's weaponry descriptions which give background information about weapons retired by the regular Army and then given to the National Guard or Reserves for their training and use.
