Maria (Fallout: New Vegas)

Maria is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas and the graphic novel All Roads.

Characteristics
Custom built by M&A Guns Manufacturers, the weapon has an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a well known Catholic figure and a representation of the biblical Woman of the Apocalypse, painted on the ivory grip of the firearm, with a polished nickel finish. The entire body of the pistol is engraved with ivy and floral details. It, along with Chance's knife, were responsible for a great amount of Fiend deaths in the pages of the graphic novel.

It is a unique variant of the 9mm pistol, and it is also the gun used by Benny to shoot the Courier in the game's introduction. As a unique weapon, it cannot be modded. It is also a concealable holdout weapon once you are past 50 Sneak.

Maria can fire 995 rounds, or about 76 and a half magazines, before breaking. That's 250 rounds more than the standard 9mm.

Variants

Locations
This gun is only held by Benny. To get this weapon you can kill him or pickpocket him.

It can be obtained if you opt to fight Benny in the arena and successfully kill him, oddly enough, he will only use the Machete throughout the fight despite having the handgun in his inventory.

It should be noted that the weapon can not be obtained if the player has Benny crucified, and its not able to be pick-pocketed if you confront Benny in the presidential suite at The Tops; only its ammo will be in his inventory.
