Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese Pistol

Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese Pistol is an unique incendiary pistol that appears in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
Its barrel is designed such that the 10mm bullet is virtually melted into molten metal by extreme friction once it speeds out of the gun. Once the bullet strikes a surface, it forms into a fiery, miniature explosion. The resulting explosion has a very high chance of igniting flammable substances.

The v418 is more powerful than either the 10mm Pistol or the standard Chinese Pistol. Although its damage might not be quite up to par with other more powerful sidearms, the v418 is still a decent weapon if only because of its unique incendiary properties. It has the highest damage, shot per shot, of any 10mm gun in the Wastes that the player can in normal play get without exploiting a glitch. It is also the farthest range a weapon that sets enemies on fire has. One weakness is that the v418 has a slower rate of fire to prevent overheating. It can be repaired with standard Chinese Pistols.

This gun is most likely a Type 17, a Chinese copy of the German C96 Broom-handle Mauser pistol. It has Chinese writing on both sides of the frame, similar to the Type 17.

The name is a reference to the ancient Chinese god of fire, Zhu Rong. And the v418 is probably the production code. anyway, there is 1 other UNIQUE weapon that has this effect is the Firelance. This is probably the alien brother to the Zhu Rong. and then there is the daddy of all of these, the flamer.

Locations
The Zhu-Rong pistol can only be found in L.O.B. Enterprises. It is found behind a Very Hard locked door (requires 100 lockpick) in the CEO's office in the case on his desk. The key for the case is inside his desk. It is also possible to reach the case by working your way around the edge of the destroyed top floor until you are on the other side of the locked door.

Bugs

 * There is a bug where only the first shot from the pistol does any damage. Once an enemy is on fire, additional hits from the Zhu-Rong seem to have no effect. (It might just be because its only good for setting enemies on fire and the actual damage is low.)
