Lead Pipe (Fallout: New Vegas)

The lead pipe is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
One of the ends has tape wrapped around it to improve grip, while the other is heavily corroded and/or bloodstained, and topped with a pipe fitting. Though it has a short reach, it has decent damage and a fast swing, making it an especially good melee weapon for players who are just starting out.

It's special V.A.T.S. attack is "Lights Out", which does 125% damage at the cost of 30 action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

Durability
The lead pipe can successfully strike about 245 times from full condition before breaking.
