Paulson's Revolver

 is a weapon carried by Paulson in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.

Characteristics

 * Paulson's Revolver is a .44 Magnum revolver that functions differently to the Scoped .44 Magnum, firing a group of shots at once; it also lacks a scope. This makes it the only non-scoped .44 Magnum revolver available to the player without the use of console commands. It is similar to the Mysterious Stranger's .44 Magnum with the exception of firing multiple projectiles at one time. The revolver shoots 9 pellets with one shot. Outside of VATS, this gun will get devastating critical hits quite frequently. Unlike the Scoped .44 Magnum, this has a shield around the rear section of the cylinder. It is repaired with any (including unique) Scoped .44 Magnums.

Obtaining
Paulson uses the revolver as his primary weapon, and can only be obtained by taking it from him. It cannot be reverse-pickpocketed; as long as Paulson is alive, he uses a non-playable version of the weapon. The player-usable weapon is only added to Paulson's inventory when he's dead and the player loots his corpse.

If dropped from your inventory via PIP-Boy you will see that it is identical to the Mysterious Stranger's weapon, but when equipped it appears to be a Scoped .44 Magnum. When dropped it can be picked up, unlike the Mysterious Stranger's .44.
