Weapon Skin

Appearances

 * The .32 Hunting Rifle appears only in Fallout 3, replacing the Colt Rangemaster Hunting Rifle from previous games.

Locations

 * Sheriff Lucas Simms' House has a damaged rifle sitting on a shelf in a room upstairs. The door requires 50 lockpick, you can pickpocket the house key from Lucas Simms, or you can use an empty, upturned metal barrel (carried to and placed near the Water Processing Plant railing) to jump onto Lucas Simms' roof and enter his house via the roof hatch (which is never locked) to his lookout point, or you can just enter the house during the day if you saved Megaton.
 * Just west of Vault 101 is an old barn with vicious dogs inside(note, random event locations, you may get a deathclaw, the alien blaster, or anything else up in that barn) Going up the stairs in the barn will reveal a hunting rifle and .32 ammo next to a skeleton and a Ham Radio.
 * There is a damaged rifle behind Springvale School among a pile of nuclear waste barrels (in a fenced-in area with a locked gate).
 * The vast majority of regular super mutants use this weapon exclusively.
 * The hunting rifle can also be found on low level raiders.
 * Most (if not all) random encounter Hunters carry this weapon.
 * This weapon can also be found frequently in downtown Washington, DC.

NPC's with this weapon

 * Pinkerton in Rivet City's Broken Bow.
 * Low level Raiders.
 * Common Super Mutants carry this weapon exclusively.
 * Dusty in Big Town has one.
 * Grandma Sparkle at Wilhelm's Wharf
 * Stockholm has one, and its very hard to get.

Trivia

 * It is interesting to note that while this is a very accurate weapon, the in-game weapon model does not have rear or front sights, nor does it have a scope. In reality, this would make the weapon extremely difficult to aim at longer ranges and would render it almost totally worthless beyond close-range encounters, even to a skilled marksman.


 * It is possibly the most ramshackle weapon in the game, appearing to be coming apart and held together with duct tape and wire. Other weapons in the game are either rusted or scratched. It is possible that some people, such as certain brotherhood members, are actually capable of constructing this weapon given its over all simplicity in build.


 * Very similar looking to the rifles the main characters use in the earlier part of Dawn Of The Dead (1979).
