Chinese Pistol (Fallout 3)

The Shansei C96 Chinese Pistols are quite possibly a leftover from the United States' war with China, an event that triggered the Great War. Some of them can still be found in the Capital Wasteland. The gun is the Shansei C96, or Type 17, in our timeline a higher-caliber variant of the original German Mauser C96 once manufactured in the Shansi province of China. Most likely a reference to Mausers produced in our time cheaply by such manufacturers as Norinco. It is the weakest pistol, and nearly useless.

An experimental incendiary version of this weapon exists, called the Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese Pistol.

Locations
Can be found all over the wasteland, most often as random loot in containers and on enemies.
