Reservist's Rifle

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

Location

 * This variation of the sniper rifle is used by and drops from the Drifter in Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel.

Tips

 * The Reservist's Rifle is an ideal choice for a follower, as the small magazine capacity and consequent need to reload the rifle every three shots reduces the number of rounds wasted after an enemy is killed.
 * The Reservist's Rifle could also be an ideal weapon for stealth-oriented sniper (pardon the pun) characters, due to the aforementioned potential 100% critical rate.

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. Also, it may be called the Reservist's Rifle because of its smaller magazine capacity, allowing the player to "save up" their .308 ammunition.

Bugs

 * The Drifter may be on ground level when approaching Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel.
 * If you zoom in with it, then press the sheath and/or arm button, and then arm it again the rifle will be invisible.This also works with other scoped weapons. (Confirmed for xbox 360, but unconfirmed for PS3. disproved for PC)
