Gauss pistol (Fallout 2)

The PPK12 Gauss pistol is a small gun in Fallout 2.

Locations
Melchior on the fourth level of the Military Base guards a locker containing this weapon. It can sometimes be bought in San Francisco, and Enclave patrols may carry it.

Behind the scenes
The Fallout Gauss weapons are a reference to Karl Friedrich Gauss, a German mathematician. A "gauss" is also a scientific unit used to measure a magnetic field. The Fallout Gauss weapons fire their projectiles using magnetic induction.
