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.

Background
The Zhu-Rong is a unique incendiary pistol created by L.O.B. Enterprises for the People's Republic of China. The v418 was the final version of the project and was slated for mass production. However, a federal investigation of the company led to the discovery of the company's involvement with the Chinese military. The company was then to be shut down, causing the gun to remain the only prototype in existence.

Characteristics
The Zhu-Rong pistol only does four points of damage with every shot, the same as the regular Chinese pistol. It does, however, have a slower rate of fire than its regular counterparts. Although its damage might not be quite on a par with other more powerful sidearms, the v418 has incendiary properties, as well as the longest range of all incendiary weapons, aside from the heavy incinerator. Oftentimes, enemies killed with this pistol will explode into dozens of flaming chunks.

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

Location
The Zhu-Rong pistol can only be found in L.O.B. Enterprises. It is found behind a Very Hard locked door (requires a Lockpick skill of 100) in the CEO's office in the case on his desk. The key for the case is inside his desk. It is also possible to reach the case by working your way around the edge of the destroyed top floor until you are on the other side of the locked door.

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

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.
