BB Gun (Fallout 3)

The Raider BB rifle, or simply BB gun, is a weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
This gun is one of the least-damaging weapons in the game, tied with the Chinese pistol. Almost every weapon in the game, except the pool cue, rolling pin and Mesmetron, are more damaging.

Another use for this weapon since it is considered a silenced weapon is for luring. If you have a high sneak (night-time is much easier) and find yourself between two incompatible enemies you can shoot at each of them, draw them toward you while you stay hidden. When they see each other they will attack each other. Hint: Make sure to sneak off to another spot after you lure them or they will see you and a free-for-all will happen.

With the Point Lookout add-on perks the damage of this weapon is raised to 14.

Durability
The BB gun can fire a total of about 417 BBs, the equivalent of 5 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * The version received on your 10th birthday is different than the standard BB gun. It has a higher item health (1,000), a much faster rate of fire, no chance for a critical hit, and does not degrade with use. It is also a Quest item, meaning that it cannot be dropped. There is no way to obtain this version of the weapon outside of Growing Up Fast, except through the use of console commands.
