Chinese Officer's Sword (Fallout 3)

The Chinese officer's sword is a melee weapon found in Fallout 3. These weapons, encountered in the Capital Wasteland are quite possibly a leftover from the United States' war with China, an event that triggered the Great War.

Strategy
With its high durability and fast attack speed, the Chinese officer's sword is an excellent weapon outside of V.A.T.S., whereas swings in V.A.T.S. use 28 AP.

Locations
Chinese officer's swords may be found in the following locations:
 * Megaton, in Jericho's house, stabbed into a teddy bear.
 * Republic of Dave, in the Museum of Dave.
 * On a Dead Chinese Commando, located at the origin point of the Chinese Radio Beacon, as a result of a random encounter.
 * The captain at Mama Dolce's is another holder of this sword.
 * Can be found on several insane inhabitants of Vault 106.
 * Random raiders all throughout the game may carry one, depending on the player's level, mostly low levels. One spot is near the Citadel, under a completed bridge.  Several raiders have a small camp here.
 * This weapon is also used in the Operation: Anchorage add-on by Crimson Dragoons. The simulator version deals 15 damage, 5 more than the standard version.
 * There's one in Abraham Washington's museum in Rivet City, behind a rubble pile near some lockers.

Variants

 * Jingwei's Shocksword (Operation: Anchorage add-on) - An electrified version of the Chinese officer's sword, the shock sword is much stronger and deals electrical damage over time.
 * Vampire's Edge - The weakest of the Chinese officer's sword variants, Vampire's Edge weighs only one pound, and is the only variant to use the regular sword's skin.
 * Samurai's Sword (Mothership Zeta add-on) - An ancient weapon from Japan that deals an extra helping of damage on critical hits, and is much more durable than the standard sword.


 * Clover's Cleaver - A Chinese officer's sword that was cut from the base game. It was intended to be used by Clover and was to be the Evil follower unique weapon, much like Fawkes' Super Sledge and Butch's Toothpick were for the other Karma levels.
 * Katana (Mothership Zeta add-on) - A variant of the Samurai's sword that deals much less critical damage, but knocks foes down with critical hits.
