.223 pistol (Fallout)

The .223 pistol is a small gun in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics
This handgun is one of the best of the small pistols. It does more damage than any other non-energy pistol, and fires .223 FMJ rounds, which have the best DR modifier and second-best AC modifier of any ammunition. The only downside is the low ammunition capacity, a paltry 5 rounds. Even 14mm pistols and .44 revolvers hold more ammunition. Still, with .223 a common caliber and the damage on the .223 pistol being astronomical, it's easily one of the best weapons in the game.

Fallout

 * A reward for helping Irwin in the Hub.

Fallout 2

 * Can be purchased from Buster in the NCR Bazaar
 * Can be bought from Eldridge in New Reno after becoming a Made Man.
 * Can be purchased from Mai Da Chiang at Red 888 Guns in San Francisco.
 * Some can be looted from a "gang" random encounter. Each male in a leather jacket toting an apparent SMG is really carrying a .223. The girls with leather jackets and mohawks have 14mm pistols instead.
 * There's one in a locker in Vault 15, with a suit of combat armor. They're on the second level.
 * Used by Lo Pan when challenged in unarmed combat for the Dragon. He cheats.

Appearances
The .223 pistol appears in Fallout and Fallout 2. It also makes an appearance in Fallout: New Vegas, labeled as "That Gun" and with the Gun Runners' Arsenal DLC as the 5.56mm pistol.

Behind the scenes

 * This pistol's appearance is modelled exactly after Deckard's handgun in Blade Runner, right down to its double triggers and red LEDs.
 * The .223 pistol was planned to be included in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky as an easter egg, along with the Bozar and generic .223 ammunition, but only remains partially implemented in the game's resources.
