Tommy gun (Fallout 2)

The Tommy gun is a small gun in Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics.

Fallout 2
Like the M3A1 "grease gun" SMG, the usage of this gun is limited by its rather heavy ammunition. Furthermore, the grease gun has better damage, longer range, and requires 1 less AP to fire. The only real advantage the Tommy gun has over the grease gun is that it carries a larger magazine. Although if Fedoras and suits were available in the game, the Tommy gun would obviously be the superior choice.

Locations
Both Shark Club and Desperado bouncers in New Reno have this gun, though you need to kill them for it. It can also be found in various random encounters in the area around New Reno. Eldridge also stocks the gun.

Fallout Tactics
In Fallout Tactics, this weapon is notable in that it takes fewer AP to fire in burst mode than in single shot mode and for having better range than the Fallout 2 version in burst fire. Despite this, it's also significantly useless for the time you find it; the rounds will plink right off the armor of the Reavers and the robots. In fact, you'll notice that Gammorin's bodyguard is actually doing more damage to you than he is.

Locations
