Jar, Pistol Powder

Jar, pistol powder is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
This item contains 200 units of pistol powder, which are used to make low caliber rounds.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the powders are not added to your inventory; this can be remedied by dropping the jar on the ground, then picking it back up.
 * This bug has been fixed in the 1.2.0.31x patch.
 * When purchasing multiple jars of powder (any type) with New Vegas patch 1.2, only 200 powders are added to the inventory as if you bought only 1 jar. Attempting to buy 1 jar at a time will result in the remaining jars in the merchant's inventory to disappear completely. There appears to be no fix for this bug because of the patch's new features, which includes automatically adding powder in the player's inventory after purchasing powder jars from a merchant.
 * Sometimes when buying this item along with another Jar of Powder, a Case Box, Primer Box, or other item that automatically adds items to your inventory, the game will freeze shortly after leaving the merchant window. This is encountered often at the Gun Runners weapon merchants, as they tend to have multiples of each. There is no other fix than to simply save before you purchase them, and reload the game, should you encounter the bug.
