Railway rifle (Fallout 4)

The railway rifle is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
The railway rifle fires railway spikes as projectiles in the same manner as a crossbow or a flechette gun. These are rarely found as ammunition, but are cheap to buy and may be recovered from enemies slain using the weapon. In exchange, the railway rifle has become enormously more powerful from its last iteration while retaining its ability to do extreme damage to limbs--sometimes even pinning detached ones to walls.

The railway rifle is most effective in VATS at close to mid ranges, although its range is somewhat increased from its last incarnation and can be greatly increased with modification. The reason that the rifle is more effective in VATS is that the nails seems to have a slight traveltime which makes it harder to hit enemies further away. This travel time reduces the efficiency of the railway rifle as a sniper weapon. However, a scoped railway rifle can still be a devastating sniper weapon for use against unaware enemies because of its massive damage and the fact that it is almost completely silent. (-FO4Edit shows the weapon is listed as "Loud" and not "Silent")

In addition, a train whistle can be heard when reloading the weapon.
