Colonel Autumn's 10mm Pistol

Colonel Autumn's 10mm Pistol is a 10mm Pistol used by Colonel Autumn in Fallout 3.

Characteristics

 * It does twice as much damage as the standard N99 10mm Pistol, and can be repaired using standard 10mm pistols. It can be obtained from Colonel Autumn's body at 100% condition.

Locations

 * This unique pistol can be found on Colonel Autumn's body after killing him in the Main Quest quest Take it Back! Unfortunately for the player however, the two doors composing the entrance and exit to the Rotunda are now permanently locked, sealing the player inside. A known and well-rehearsed glitch can be utilized to obtain this unique pistol without the above consequences from ever taking place.

Obtaining the Weapon
There are 2 ways to obtain this weapon:


 * During the Waters of Life quest after Colonel Autumn supposedly "dies", you can grab his belongings as long as he falls near the door. You must face directly towards the body with the cursor directly on the body in first person view. Once this is done, hold down the button that changes the perspective and you should be able to rotate the camera. Rotate the camera half-way and you should see a "Search Colonel Autumn" message. Voila! You can also search Dad and possibly everyone in the room if they fall close enough to the wall.
 * Colonel Autumn does not have his Laser Pistol during this part of the game.
 * If playing on the PC, one can use the console command "TCL" to move through the door and loot belongings of everyone in the room.


 * Before the last attack in the main quest (Take it Back!) and after the The Waters of Life quest, head to Jefferson Memorial by running from the bridge of Rivet city directly to the area. If you are directly facing the laser fence, walk left. After a few steps you can find a gap between the laser fence and steel scaffolding. The laser fence tower is blocking the way however, so jump up on the left side and from there jump right between the fence tower and the laser fence into the inner area (it´s surprisingly easy). Now move into Jefferson Memorial to Col. Autumn, kill him and take his equipment (his Laser pistol included), then YOU CAN leave the Memorial.


 * A much simpler way to obtain Colonel Autumn's 10mm Pistol is to simply kill him in the "normal" fashion, then to leave the memorial using the "coc megatoncommonhouse" command. Be aware that Lyons will chase you from the memorial in order to engage with dialogue. Simply give her your answer about the purifier and she will return to the memorial, awaiting your return.
