Ol' Painless (Fallout 3)

Ol' Painless is a unique and more powerful .32 Hunting Rifle.

Characteristics
Ol' Painless does more damage per shot, has a faster rate of fire and reloads faster than the regular hunting rifle, and also has a good durability and can be repaired with ordinary hunting rifles. Ol' Painless is one of the few weapons with 0 spread, meaning at 100 small guns skill non-VATS shots go exactly where you aim them.

Thanks to its common ammo type, solid damage, and decent rate of fire, Ol' Painless is a very practical multi-purpose gun, and is one of the best rifles in the game.

Ol' Painless can fire 555 shots, 111 magazines, before breaking. That's 111 shots less than the regular hunting rifle.

Location
In an unpickable safe in The Republic of Dave Capitol Building. Dave's Special Key required to open the safe. You can pickpocket Dave to find the key, or you can complete the Election Day unmarked quest to get it. Taking the rifle will cost you Karma in any event, and residents will see it as stealing even if they gave you the key.

Behind the scenes

 * In the movie Old Yeller, Travis must do the merciful thing and shoot his now-rabid dog with a hunting rifle named "Ol' Painless."

Bugs

 * Even when given permission to raid Dave's Safe, it will still be marked "red" as private property. Therefore if you drop Ol' Painless and move the cross hair over it, the cross hair is red and "steal" is shown.
 * Be careful storing this weapon because any unowned item may disappear from your storage.
 * If Pronto, Smiling Jack, Knick Knack, or Moira catch you pick pocketing them, they will take Ol' Painless saying you stole it, then they will have it for sale in their store. To avoid, just "fence" the item by selling it and then buying it back.
