Lead Pipe (Fallout 3)

The lead pipe is a melee weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
One of the ends has tape wrapped around it to improve grip, while the other is heavily corroded and/or bloodstained, and topped with a pipe fitting. Though it has a short reach, it has decent damage and a fast swing, making it a good melee weapon for players who are just starting out.

Durability
The lead pipe can successfully strike about 667 times from full condition before breaking.
