Guns and Bullets

Guns and Bullets is a pre-war magazine that makes no apologies or excuses for what it really is. It presents itself as: "a magazine devoted to the practical use of firearms, and the occasional biased review."

Fallout, Fallout 2
Useful mostly for beginners in the wonderful world of small arms, Guns and Bullets improves the Small Guns skill level. However, reading alone will not make a marksman; the higher the reader's skill in Small Guns, the smaller the skill increase will be. At very high levels, the magazine will do nothing at all. Specifically, once the skill reaches 92%, the book will do nothing (this applies to all skill books in Fallout and Fallout 2). It is however possible to adjust this through the difficulty setting, or by temporarily lowering your SPECIAL attributes (and the corresponding skills) through drug use.

Guns and Bullets is rather prevalent in the wasteland, and many shops carry the magazine. Scroungers can also expect to find copies in some desks and bookcases. The average cost for a copy of Guns and Bullets to a buyer with an average Barter skill is approximately 425 caps.

The book always gives a flat +15% to the Small Guns skill, regardless of the user's current skill.

Warning
There has been some occurrences where a skill book(s) have 'Auto-Deleted' itself from the game and never to be seen Again. For example; You pick up Grognak the Barbarian from Jacobstown, and later on throughout game play, it disappears from your inventory. To minimise risk of this occurrence happening, learn the book immediately after you picked it up. (Be sure that you have got the Comprehension perk, if wanted, before so.) This however is a new bug discovered in the game on the Xbox 360. Needs verification for PC.
