Vance's 9mm Submachine Gun

Vance's 9mm submachine gun (SMG) is a weapon $$ It is the unique variant of the 9mm submachine gun and was once owned by Vance of the crime duo, Vikki and Vance.

Background
Vance and his wife Vikki were "master criminals" before the Great War. The player character can hear the story of Vikki and Vance by consulting Primm Slim in the Vikki and Vance Casino. Slim's account implies that Vikki and Vance were in fact small-time white-collar criminals. According to Slim, Vance had acquired this high-quality, mint-condition 9mm machinegun at some point, but never fired it. The weapon is missing from its display case in the Vikki and Vance Casino, having been stolen by Sammy and Pauline Wins.

The plaque next to the empty gun case reads:

Gameplay
Vance's 9mm submachine gun does more damage per shot, has a higher damage-per-second and has a higher capacity drum magazine than the standard variant.

Durability
Vance's 9mm submachine gun can fire a total of about 3745 standard rounds, the equivalent of 63 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variant

 * 9mm submachine gun - Standard variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.

Location
Despite the weapon being missing from its display case, Primm Slim does not notice. With a high enough Science skill (50), however, one will gain a dialogue option to reveal that the weapon was taken to Wins hideout, where it can be found inside the safe with a Very Hard lock. The lock can be picked or with a high enough Speech skill (55), one can convince the Wins to provide the combination.

Bugs
Sometimes the magazine may not be where it should; it will hover near the end of the gun.
 * Reloading the gun will fix this, as will drawing the gun out and then re-holstering. Switching weapons may also fix this bug with this weapon and others.
