Medicine Stick (GRA)

The Medicine Stick is a unique weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics
The Medicine Stick is a variant of the brush gun. It has a long magazine tube, and a light brown stock and handguard. A medicine wheel is attached to one side of the stock. The rifle can hold 8 rounds of .45-70 Gov't, has an item HP of 200 and inflicts 78 damage in good condition with a base DPS of 108. It is reloaded by hand one bullet at a time, allowing the player to interrupt reloading mid-way. This allows the gun to be fired before reloading is complete.

Durability
The Medicine Stick can fire a total of about 995 standard rounds - the equivalent of 125 reloads - from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Brush gun - The common variant found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Locations

 * Gun Runners, sold by Vendortron.

Bugs

 * When firing from long ranges, it appears that the sights are not completely aligned, meaning one will have to aim slightly to the left of an enemy for a direct hit.
 * Sometimes, the lever may remain downward after running while reloading. This is purely aesthetic, however; it will return to its original position when one stops moving or holstering the weapon.
 * While reloading in third-person view, one may not see the usual lever action after reloading.
 * If one looks at the opposite side of the stock when holstered, the feather will have disappeared. This is most evident when wearing heavy/medium armor such as power armor or NCR Ranger patrol armor.
 * As with the regular brush gun, the Medicine Stick may glitch in V.A.T.S. mode, causing the cocking handle to become stuck in the downward position. The player will not fire any rounds, and will stay in the glitched state until killed. This may require a reload of a previous save.
 * The reload animation of lever action weapons does not have a corresponding jam animation, so the weapon will not jam, even at near-breaking conditions.
 * Like all round by round reloading weapons in the game, if the player switches ammo types quick enough, the animation to load a single round is played but the tube will be fully reloaded.
