Binoculars (Fallout: New Vegas)

Binoculars are classified as a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Binoculars are equipped and holstered like a weapon, but cannot be used offensively. When drawn, using the same zoom function found on scoped weapons will allow the player to look through them.

Binoculars have a magnification of x2.43, equivalent to the Bozar or hunting revolver.

Bugs

 * Looking through binoculars sometimes results in a black screen with a hack computer screen but can be fixed by restarting the game.
 * When you equip it, it shows an ammunition count.
 * When taking one from a companion's inventory, and having another in your inventory already, it will act just as 1 set, with no (2) next to it. Giving a set to the companion results in having one set each again.
 * Equipping binoculars may cause the player to disappear in thrid person view, this can be fixed by going back into first person and unequipping the binocular and equipping any other weapon, but not to your fists.
