Chinese Officer's Sword (Fallout 3)

The Chinese officer's sword is a melee weapon found in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
With its high durability and fast attack speed, the Chinese officer's sword is an excellent weapon outside of V.A.T.S., whereas swings in V.A.T.S. use 28 AP.

Durability
The Chinese officer's sword can successfully strike about 1000 times from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Vampire's Edge - The weakest of the Chinese officer's sword's unique variants, Vampire's Edge weighs only one pound, and is the only variant to use the regular sword's skin.
 * Clover's Chinese officer's sword - A unique, non-playable version used by Clover with identical stats to the regular version.
 * Jingwei's shocksword - An electrified version of the Chinese officer's sword, the shocksword is much stronger and deals electrical damage over time.
 * Sim version - A version of the weapon which appears only within the Anchorage simulation. Unlike other sim-specific weapons, this version has a higher base and critical damage than its normal counterpart and also causes disintegration for non-player characters killed by a critical hit similar to Jingwei's shocksword. This weapon is only carried by non-player characters within the Anchorage simulation and cannot be obtained through normal means.
 * Samurai's sword - An ancient weapon from Japan that deals an extra helping of damage on critical hits.
 * Clover's Cleaver - A Chinese officer's sword that was cut from the base game. It was intended to be used by Clover and was to be the Evil follower's unique weapon, much like Fawkes' super sledge and Butch's Toothpick were for the other Karma levels.
 * Katana - A variant of the samurai's sword that deals much less critical damage, but knocks foes down with critical hits.
