Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/Dust Musket

The Dust Musket is a craftable, two handed rifle featured in Fallout: DUST.

Characteristics
The Dust Musket is little more than a pipe, spoon, two pieces of wood, and a firing mechanism combined into a barely functional firearm. As such, it is a poor quality weapon. During the Mojave’s prime, such weapons were considered junk, and normal, factory-made firearms were easier to obtain and maintain. However, in 2301, the Dust Musket is considered a viable option for ranged combat. It has greater damage per bullet than the 9mm Pistol, a great advantage in a world where even having enough ammo to fill a 9mm magazine is considered well-off. The rifle is fairly steady and offers decent zoom via its iron sights, but the old spoon that the player must sight with obscures a great deal of peripheral cues, and it also has a very slow reload speed. It may serve as the first go-to weapon for a beginning sniper character.

The Dust Musket is a common weapon in DUST, and it is surprisingly easy to craft for a new character. Standalone Crutches are uncommon, but can easily be salvaged from Makeshift Scythes that Tribals often use.

Locations
Common rifle amongst Cannibals, Survivors and Dust Walkers.

Behind the Scenes

 * The appearance of the Dust Musket is heavily based on the Pipe Rifle from Fallout 2. Both are single-shot, makeshift weapons, the only major difference between the two weapons being caliber: the Dust Musket is 9mm, whilst the Pipe Rifle is 10mm.
 * The Dust Musket is seen in djabend's Pipe Rifle and Other Craftable Junk Weapons mod on the Nexus.
