Pipe pistol

The pipe pistol is a weapon that is featured in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
A crude homemade pistol built from rusty metal pipes, springs, duct tape, wood and scrap metal, the pipe gun is the standby gun of the Commonwealth. Many of these can be found throughout the game, especially early on. While weak compared to purpose-built weapons, it benefits from enormous customization potential--every aspect of the pipe pistol up to and including its caliber can be modified and improved, allowing for enormous numbers of variants to exist. This lets it remain viable far longer than its ramshackle appearance would suggest, especially considering its proliferation and the huge amount of .38 ammo across the Commonwealth. Eventually, however, it will fall behind.
