Reservist's Rifle

The Reservist's Rifle appears in Fallout 3 and is a unique version of the Sniper Rifle.

This variation of the sniper rifle is used by and drops from Drifter in Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel. It can also be occasionally found in the inventory of Arkansas in the Minefield.

It can be repaired with Sniper Rifles. The rifle seems to have a 60% critical hit chance (70% with Finesse perk), which is much higher than the standard Sniper Rifle or Victory Rifle. It costs 5 AP less to shoot in V.A.T.S. compared to other sniper rifles.

This rifle uses 3 rounds instead of 5 in each magazine.

Unmarked quest: High Plains Drifter
Drifter is on the top floor of Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel. As the planks he walks on cannot be reached normally you have to kill him in a way that makes his corpse (or parts of it) fall down to the floor. If it doesn't, then you can try shooting one specific part of the body to tear it off and make it fall to the ground, thus allowing you to search him.

Trivia

 * The "Reservist's" title might refer to the US Army Reserve, making a reference to some of Fallout 2's weaponry descriptions which give background information about weapons retired by the regular Army and then given to the National Guard or Reserves for their training and use.
