Silenced 10mm Pistol

The Silenced 10mm Pistol is a single-handed Fallout 3 weapon that uses the Small Guns skill.

Characteristics
An N99 10mm Pistol equipped with a suppressor. The benefit of the suppressor is that when one fires at an enemy and kills him with the first shot (say, using VATS while hidden), no nearby enemies will be alerted. The downside is the slightly decreased damage compared to a regular 10mm Pistol. If you do not kill your target in the first few shots, they will likely alert nearby enemies. It is a great weapon for assassin-type characters, as a good Sneak and Small Guns skill will give you an advantage while using this weapon. It counts as silent for sneaking purposes, and shooting it will not increase your chances of being detected (all normal guns will). Also, if you have a high enough Small Guns skill, the Silenced 10mm Pistol makes a very good close-quarter weapon for adventures in locations such as the Bethesda Ruins, the Museum of History, and other office building type settings. It's a handy weapon to carry as it weighs only 3 pounds and is ideal for snuffing out smaller creatures like Radroaches or Mole Rats without alerting other (stronger) enemies.

On higher difficulty settings, the Silenced 10mm Pistol becomes much too weak against regular enemies to be of much use. Even a Sneak Attack critical headshot will not bring down a Raider to 50% HP. Players looking for a stronger silent weapon may opt for a melee weapon, the Dart Gun, or the Infiltrator/Perforator (DLC only).

Regular 10mm Pistols can be used to repair the Silenced 10mm Pistol, and vice versa, although it is inadvisable to use the Silenced 10mm Pistol as spare parts due to its rarity

The only other ranged silent weapons are the Dart Gun, which is a custom-built weapon and the Infiltrator (Perforator).
