Needler pistol (Fallout 2)

The Needler pistol is a small gun in Fallout 2.

Characteristics
 A powerful and lightweight pistol with a low Strength requirement, the Needler Pistol requires the use of the relatively rare and expensive Armor-Piercing Needler Cartridge (as opposed to the regular type) to realize its full combat potential. When used with these rounds, the weapon becomes arguably the second-best non-energy pistol in the game, its Weapon Penetrate Perk and high critical damage making it deadly against almost any opponent. 

Locations

 * Sheriff Earl Marion of Redding has one.
 * Myron, in the Stables, also carries one.
 * Random encounter press gangs around San Francisco will use these along with Glock 86 plasma pistols.
 * A. Ron Meyers carries one, but can only be acquired if killed.
