10mm Pistol (Fallout: New Vegas)

The 10mm pistol or N99 10mm pistol is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The 10mm pistol is similar to the Colt 6520, which is more common on the west coast of the Core Region. The pistol uses 10mm round ammunition, commonly found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.

Though it is easily obtained, the pistol is prone to breaking after a short period of use, so carefully-aimed shots are important. Its iron-sights are also slightly misaligned, with the front post being a bit to the left as opposed to being centered. However, it does benefit from being considered an improved holdout weapon, and can be concealed and taken into weapon-free locations so long as your sneak skill is 50 or greater.

A 10mm can fire a total of 395 standard rounds, or about 33 magazines, before breaking.

 * 10mm pistol laser sight - decreases spread, adds laser sight effect.
 * 10mm pistol silencer - silences weapon.

Variants

 * Weathered 10mm pistol, only available with the classic pack add-on or via console commands.
 * Veronica's 10mm pistol, a unique non-playable 10mm pistol used by Veronica. The only difference between it and the standard 10mm pistol is its usage of the companion ammunition.

Bugs

 * Sometimes when equiping a 10mm Pistol modded with extended mag, the mag may appear under the trigger. This bug can be fixed by re-equiping the weapon.
 * Sometimes when you equip the 10mm Pistol, the laser sight modification may not be activated. To fix this, simply un-equip the pistol and re-equip it.
 * The weapon may also turn invisible while aiming down the sight.
 * If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have the 10mm pistol equipped and drawn, the reload animation takes twice as long as normal. This can be solved by simply switching to another gun and then back again.
 * Sometimes when walking backwards with the pistol drawn in 1st person it will point inwards towards the players body, and strangely when you shoot it the impact from the shot will show up where the gun is supposed to be pointing. (This occured while using all three mods for the pistol.)
