10mm Pistol (Fallout 3)

The 10mm pistol, also known as the N99 10mm pistol, is a small gun in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The pistol uses 10mm ammunition, commonly found in Washington, D.C. and the surrounding wasteland. It is similar to the Colt 6520, which is more common on the West Coast. It is also the first actual gun available in the game, and can be found in many other places around the game world.

This weapon can be used to repair the silenced 10mm pistol and Colonel Autumn's 10mm pistol.

The 10mm pistol is almost always a superior choice to its counterpart, the Chinese pistol. It has a faster, more predictable fire rate, much greater accuracy, and better damage. It is also a generally more common find.

Durability
The 10mm pistol can fire a total of about 556 rounds, the equivalent of 47 reloads, from full condition before breaking, an amount roughly half of what the Chinese pistol can fire.
