Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/Pipe Rifle

The Pipe Rifle is a craftable two-handed rifle featured in Fallout: DUST.

Characteristics
The Pipe Rifle is among the crudest weapons available in the Mojave. It is merely two lead pipes stuck together to form a smoothbore barrel, with bits of scrap constituting a firing mechanism and unfinished wood as the stock.

The simplicity of the Pipe Rifle makes it very easy to craft, requiring only rudimentary knowledge of firearms and the parts mentioned above.

However, the Pipe Rifle is not very effective of a weapon. It is single-shot and deals less damage than other 10mm weapons, including the 10mm Submachine Gun.

The Pipe Rifle is thus a poor choice against tougher opponents or groups of enemies, but can be useful for engaging foes from a distance until better armaments are available.

Behind the Scenes
The Pipe Rifle behaves very similarly to a weapon of the same name from Fallout 2. Visually, however, the Fallout 2 pipe rifle is better represented in DUST by the Dust Musket. Both weapons are also seen in the Pipe Rifle and Other Craftable Junk Weapons mod on the Nexus.
