Eugene (weapon)

Eugene is a minigun which can be obtained from completing the Reilly's Rangers quest.

Quest Notes
This upgraded minigun has 50% greater durability than standard miniguns, much greater firepower, and starts off in very good condition. It can also be repaired with other miniguns. Eugene, fully repaired, does more damage than a fully repaired Gatling Laser, so it often the better choice, though the Vengeance does more damage than this.
 * If Brick dies during the retreat from the hotel, you can loot it together with her ranger armor from her corpse.
 * You can also kill Brick, however this will make the rest of the Rangers hostile to you for the rest of the game.
 * You can provoke Brick, causing her to take out her weapon. You can then cripple one of her arms, forcing her to drop it.
 * It is very difficult to pickpocket.
 * At Ranger compound, you can pickpocket Brick while she´s asleep without getting detected.
 * It is possible to receive two by killing Brick during the escape and then asking for it as a reward.

Appearances
appears only in Fallout 3 and is the unique version of the Minigun.

Trivia

 * This weapon's name may be a reference to Eugene Stoner, famous 20th Century military firearms designer.
 * It may also be a reference to Eugene Tackleberry from the Police Academy series of movies, who was a prolific gun freak.

Bugs

 * If you equip a follower with Eugene and a good ammount of 5mm ammunition and head for the Deathclaw Santuary, a glitch may occur. Sometimes if your follower is mowing down DeathClaws with Eugene, there sometimes will be a bug where his 5mm ammunition will be replaced by a perfect condition Eugene.  It will say that both Eugenes are equipped to your follower and he will have unlimited ammunition. (Only happened once to me while killing deathclaws with Jericho).
