.357 Magnum Round

.357 magnum round is a type of ammunition in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A .357 caliber bullet, with a significant powder charge. Very powerful for a pistol round. Each ammo comes in one of three variants: hollow point, armor penetrating or high velocity - which can be bought or crafted.

Used in

 * Cowboy repeater
 * .357 magnum revolver
 * La Longue Carabine
 * Lucky

Variants
.357 Hollow Point -- Hollowpoint bullets break up on impact, tearing through fabric, flesh and organs with ease. However, hollowpoints lack the penetrating power to punch through denser materials, like leather and metal. Best used against lightly-armored or unarmored foes.
 * Gun Damage -- x1.75
 * Target DT -- x3.00

.357 JFP (Hand Load) -- JFPs (Jacketed Flat-points) are blunt, copper-wrapped bullets designed to flatten on impact like a hollowpoint, but retain the penetrating power of a copper-jacket slug. As such, they inflict greater damage, penetrate enemy armor better, and even fly straighter than normal .357 rounds.
 * Gun Damage - x1.25
 * Target DT - -3.00
 * Weapon Spread - x0.80

.38 Special -- .38 Specials are a slightly smaller class of bullet in comparison to .357 magnums. Though the reduction in powder means less damage inflicted on your targets, it also means less wear and tear on the gun that fired it.
 * Gun Damage - x0.75
 * Weapon Condition - x0.75
