.32 Pistol (Fallout 3)

The  is a small gun weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
As the name would imply, this handgun uses .32 caliber round ammunition. It is commonly found to be in use by Capital Wasteland raiders. Although it is a light weapon, it pales against the 10mm pistol in terms of rate of fire and damage, and might be considered a waste of ammunition. It can, however, be fired quite fast if the player can get a rhythm down.

A fully-repaired .32 can fire 550 shots, or 110 speed loads, before breaking.

Variants

 * Wild Bill's Sidearm (The Pitt add-on) - Found in Wild Bill's pockets, Wild Bill's Sidearm is much more powerful than any other small sidearm. (Exceptions being the laser pistol, the plasma pistol, or the scoped .44 magnum.)


 * Law Dog - A variant of the .32 that was cut from the base game.

Locations
These are not very hard to come by. Most locations to find it are in shops, on raiders and Talon Company mercs.
 * One can be found at Minefield, near the mattress where Arkansas snipes at you.
 * One can also be found at the small ranch near Megaton, which can be entered right after exiting the Vault.
 * One can be found in the National Guard Bunker on a wooden shelf, next to a box of 5 bullets for it.
 * Your father has a fondness for .32 pistols, as he is equipped with one after exiting Tranquility Lane, and two can be found inside Project Purity, one in the gift shop, and another in the basement sub-levels.
 * They can sometimes be found in Pulowski Preservation Shelters along with some skeletons.
 * Jenny Stahl carries a .32 pistol, although when you become hostile with Megaton she flees as opposed to using it.
 * One can be found in the Hubris Publishing building under a table in a dead man's hand where he apparently couldn't take life anymore. There is also a Nuka-Cola Vending Machine, whiskey, and Quantum right next to it.
 * One can be found in Olney Underground (Broken Steel), on a shelf. This one is in perfect condition.

Appearances
The only appears in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

 * It is possibly based on the "pocket revolvers" of the early 1900's - they were almost all top-break and the most common caliber was one of the many .32 cartridges made at the time.
