Vance's 9mm Submachine Gun

Vance's 9mm submachine gun (SMG) is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It is the unique variant of the 9mm SMG and was once owned by Vance of the crime duo, Vikki and Vance.

Background
Vance and his wife Vikki were "master criminals" before the Great War. The player can hear the story of Vikki and Vance by consulting Primm Slim in the Vikki and Vance Casino. Slim's account implies that Vikki and Vance were in fact small-time white collar criminals. According to Slim, Vance purchased a high-quality mint condition 9mm machine gun immediately prior to his death but never fired it.

Characteristics
Vance's 9mm SMG has several differences from the standard 9mm SMG. First and foremost, it does more damage, the damage-per-second is higher, and it has a drum magazine with a greater capacity. Aesthetically, it is in pristine condition with wood or Bakelite grip panels, lacks a stock, and has a different Express-type iron sight.

Its high rate of fire, common ammunition and high dps make it a valuable weapon to a character skilled in Guns.

Durability
Vance's 9mm submachine gun can fire a total of about 3745 standard rounds, the equivalent of 63 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variant

 * 9mm SMG, standard variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland

Location

 * The weapon is missing from its display case in the Vikki and Vance Casino, but Primm Slim does not notice this fact. With high enough science skill (50), however, you will gain a dialog option to reveal that the weapon was taken to Wins Hideout, where it can be found inside the safe with a very hard lock. The lock can be picked, or with a high enough speech skill (55) you can convince the Wins to give you the combination, or if you don't have enough speech for the speech check talk to Sammy again and another dialog option will appear.

Behind the scenes
The combination of the safe is 05-23-34, a reference to the date when Bonnie and Clyde were killed.
