10mm Pistol (Fallout 3)

The 10mm pistol or N99 10mm pistol is a weapon found in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The pistol uses 10mm ammunition, commonly found in Washington, DC 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 given to you in the game or can be found in many other places around the 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 generally a 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.

Variants

 * Colonel Autumn's 10mm pistol - Carried by Enclave High Commander Augustus Autumn, the Colonel's 10mm pistol is nearly twice as powerful as the regular version.
 * Silenced 10mm pistol - While not unique, the silenced 10mm pistol is a suppressed version of this weapon. It's weaker, but firing while sneaking won't give away your position.
 * Sim version - A sim-only version of the weapon which has been re-skinned to appear newer and less worn. It also differs in health, with a whopping 999,150 hit points, essentially preventing the gun from ever degrading, This weapon is not normally accessible outside of the simulation.


 * 10mm alloy steel pistol - Another version of the weapon was cut from the Operation Anchorage add-on, it differs from the standard 10mm pistol in appearance only, using the same new skin as the sim only version.


 * Sonora Cruz' 10mm pistol - a unique pistol on Sonora Cruz. It deals a whopping 100 damage, but Sonora always flees from enemies and never uses her pistol.
