Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese Pistol

The Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese pistol is a small gun in Fallout 3. It is a unique incendiary version of the Chinese pistol.

Characteristics
The Zhu-Rong pistol fires slower than a regular Chinese pistol, and does the same four points of base damage per shot, but has an incendiary effect that adds to its exceptionally low damage over the course of 5 seconds. It has the second-longest range of all incendiary weapons, and enemies killed with this pistol will often explode into dozens of flaming chunks. Its damage-per-second is actually lower than a regular Chinese pistol (without considering reloading times).

Durability
The Zhu-Rong can fire a total of about 1667 rounds, the equivalent of 167 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Chinese pistol

Location
The Zhu-Rong pistol can be found in L.O.B. Enterprises, behind a Very Hard locked door (requires a Lockpick skill of 100), in the CEO's office in the secure-case on his desk in the east wing of the building. The key to the case is inside his desk. It is also possible to reach the case by moving along the edge of the destroyed top floor until reaching the other side of the locked door.

Behind the scenes
The name is a reference to the ancient Chinese god of fire, Zhu Rong (祝融).

Bugs

 * There is a bug where only the first shot from the pistol in V.A.T.S. does any damage. Once an enemy is on fire, additional hits from the Zhu-Rong seem to have no effect.
 * This weapon is unaffected by Pyromaniac, even though the Fallout 3 Official Game Guide says it is.
