Alexandria Arms

 is a 2-story Raider den in Fallout 3 with ~6 Raiders inside. In addition, one may encounter Talon Company Mercs and Enclave Soldiers. It is well worth shooting carefully to ensure that their Plasma Rifles are not damaged during the fight and can be collected for personal use. It is easily found by following the road from the Citadel to Arlington Library. is kitty-corner to and within visual distance of Arlington Library.

When you arrive via quick travel, there is a small building next to Alexandria arms to the left. Outside of it are several mines, and the interior of the building is filled with traps such as a tripwire (which sets off a rigged shotgun), bear traps, mines, a girder on a chain, pitching machines, and on the top level, a turret. On the third floor are 3 safes, a workbench, a bed, a chem lab, and the raider sniper (in the room with the bed). When you leave and come back, one raider will usually take residence on the third floor.

After completing The Waters of Life, a scripted scene will occur when approaching the building, in which a VB-02 Vertibird lands and drops off a contingent of Enclave Soldiers who will engage nearby raiders, and the higher level you are, the better the enclaves armor and weapons are. Even if they are all killed off, the same Vertibird will come to pick them up a few hours later.

Bugs
Somehow in one of the rooms inside it is almost impossible to get in, persistance can get you in, persistance does not get you out. Simply saving and reloading fixes this problem.
