Red Ryder BB Gun (Fallout)

Red Ryder BB Gun is a Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3 and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel weapon.

Fallout and Fallout 2
''The Red Ryder BB gun has good magazine capacity, but it is almost useless in-game because of a very low damage potential. The LE variant performs much better.''

Fallout 3
In Fallout 3, you receive this on your 10th birthday. It is possible to grab the gun from your desk during your escape at age 19, but since it does even less damage than the handgun Amata just handed you and has a high AP cost, it is merely a sentimental object. However, if you do grab it, when Butch DeLoria asks you to help his mother, you can offer to give him the weapon to fight off the radroaches. He will give you his Tunnel Snake Outfit in return.

You can also buy this BB Gun later on in the game. It may serve a limited purpose at whittling down enemies as they close in the early game, making melee modestly easier.

It can also be used to shoot mines, albeit it takes a few shots to blow up one. A shot mine might flip, making it easier to disarm.
