10mm Submachine Gun (Fallout 3)

The 10mm SMG is a small gun in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The 10mm SMG is most effective at close-range by unleashing a hail of bullets. However, the SMG is next to useless at longer ranges unless assisted by the perk Concentrated Fire. The SMG simply has too much spread to be of much use beyond close-range combat. Another downfall of the SMG is its ammunition consumption; if ammunition is not properly managed, the SMG can eat through 10mm rounds at alarming speeds. With full automatic fire and a 30-round magazine, the SMG is a decent emergency sidearm when enemies start to get too close.

The 10mm SMG can fire 1186 rounds, or about 40 magazines, before breaking.

Variants

 * Sydney's 10mm "Ultra" SMG - Relic hunter Sydney's weapon of choice, the Ultra SMG holds an astounding 50 10mm rounds in a single magazine, and uses them to hit much harder than the regular SMG.

Comparison
Operation: Anchorage includes a sim-only version of the weapon which differs only in health, with a whopping 999,250 hit points, essentially preventing the gun from ever degrading. The weapon is not accessible outside of the simulation without the use of the Gary 23 exploit or console commands.

Another version of the weapon was cut from the DLC. Called the 10mm Alloy Steel Submachinegun, it is otherwise identical to the standard 10mm SMG.
