Ol' Painless (Fallout 3)

Ol' Painless is a unique version of the .32 hunting rifle in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
Ol' Painless does more damage per shot, has a faster rate of fire and reloads faster than the regular hunting rifle, and also has a good durability and can be repaired with ordinary hunting rifles. Since it is repaired with hunting rifles, it is easy to maintain. Ol' Painless is one of the few weapons with 0 spread, meaning with a 100 Small Guns skill, non-V.A.T.S. shots go exactly where you aim them.

Thanks to its common ammo type, solid damage, and decent rate of fire, Ol' Painless is a very practical multi-purpose gun.

Ol' Painless can fire 555 shots, 111 magazines, before breaking. That's 111 shots less than the regular hunting rifle.

Variants

 * Hunting rifle
 * Lincoln's repeater - While strictly a lever-action rifle that uses .44 magnum rounds, Lincoln's repeater is only repairable with hunting rifles. It's very powerful and very accurate.

Location
Even though Dave]] claims he lost his hunting rifle stalking mirelurks, Ol' Painless is located right in his safe next to his chair. Dave's special key is required to open the safe. You can pickpocket Dave to find the key, you can complete the Election Day unmarked quest to get it, or you can get it through dialogue options and speech checks if you are on the quest You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head. Taking the rifle will cost you Karma in any event, and residents will see it as stealing even if they gave you the key.

Behind the scenes

 * In Old Yeller, Travis must do the merciful thing and shoot his now-rabid dog with a hunting rifle named "Ol' Painless."

Bugs

 * Even when given permission to raid Dave's Safe, it will still be marked "red" as private property. Therefore if you drop Ol' Painless and move the cross hair over it, the cross hair is red and "steal" is shown. NPCs will not turn hostile and you will not lose Karma when you pick it up.
 * Be careful storing this weapon because any unowned item may disappear from your storage.
 * If Pronto, Smiling Jack, Knick Knack, or Moira catch you pick pocketing them, they will take Ol' Painless like any stolen items, and will then have it for sale in their store. To avoid, just "fence" the item by selling it and then buying it back.
