10mm Pistol (Fallout 3)

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

Background
Due to the strong resemblence and function of the N99 10mm Pistol to the civilian Colt 6520 10mm Pistol, it's logical to conceive that the N99 is the military counterpart to the Colt 6520 therefore Colt had been contracted to manufacture the N99 model for the United States Armed Forces. This hasn't been confirmed by canon sources, though.

Characteristics
The pistol uses 10mm ammo, 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.

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.

A fully-repaired 10mm pistol can fire 552 rounds, exactly 46 magazines, before breaking. That's only half of what the Chinese pistol can do, though.
