Chinese Pistol (Fallout 3)

The Chinese Pistol is a relic of the United States' war with China, an event that triggered the Great War, tjat can still be found in the Capital Wasteland. The gun is a Shansei C96 or Type 17, in our timeline a higher-caliber variant of the original German Mauser. It is arguably the weakest pistol in the game and is nearly useless as a weapon; both fists (with a high enough Unarmed skill), and a well-maintained BB Gun, can do more damage. Its only uses are for its value in trade (it is pound-for-pound the most valuable of all conventional weapons), and for repairing its unique incendiary version, the Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese Pistol. It has worse spread than the N99 10mm Pistol, holds less ammunition in a magazine, and its ammo pool is the same as the N99, so it cannot even be used as an "out of ammo" backup weapon. Its only use offensively is if every other weapon breaks, or for role play.
