Railway Spikes (Fallout 3)

Railway spikes are a type of small guns ammunition in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
Though only moderately damaging, railway spikes are very effective at dealing limb damage (due to a 3x limb damage multiplier), and are able to cripple limbs often with just one shot. On the killing shot, a spike may tear off the struck limb or head, and possibly pin it to a fixed object, such as a wall or floor.

Weapons using this ammunition

 * Railway rifle

Locations

 * Railway spikes can be found throughout the Capital Wasteland in ammunition boxes, metal boxes and on shelves.

 * They can be bought from vendors on occasion, but they are rarely restocked.
 * Spikes can often be found near train yards, inside the metro tunnels, and railroad tracks.
 * They can be found throughout Warrington trainyard and the Tenpenny Tower's generator room.
 * Carried by Laszlo Radford.
 * Eight lots of spikes spread throughout rooms in the west of the Franklin Metro utility.
 * Five on shelves in the northwest area of the Corvega factory.
 * Four in the Meresti trainyard, in a makeshift shack next to the tunnel outside.
 * Four on the Scavenger's bridge's shelves.
