12.7mm Pistol

The  is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The 12.7mm pistol is an excellently crafted, large, semi-automatic handgun, based on the 14mm pistol from previous Fallout games. Likely designed for long-range pistol hunting or target shooting, it was imported to the United States from the European Commonwealth before the war. It chambers 12.7mm (.50 caliber), which is hard to come by as very few merchants sell it. It takes 75 guns skill in order to take full advantage of the weapon. The 12.7mm fires and reloads like a 9mm, but packs a more serious punch.

This pistol has the highest damage-per-second of any non-energy pistol in New Vegas. It is NOT a holdout weapon, therefore cannot go through security in casinos and restricted areas.
