.223 pistol (Fallout)

The .223 pistol is a small gun in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics
Arguably the best handgun in Fallout and second best in Fallout 2. Only the Gauss pistol beats it in damage per shot, and it fires .223 FMJ rounds, which have the best DR modifier and second-best AC modifier of any ammunition. In addition, it is one of the few ranged weapons with the Weapon Penetrate trait which further reduces DR of the target. The only downside is the low ammunition capacity, a paltry 5 rounds.

Fallout

 * A reward for helping Irwin in the Hub.

Fallout 2

 * Can be purchased from Buster in the NCR Bazaar
 * Can be bought from Eldridge in New Reno after becoming a Made Man.
 * Can be purchased from Mai Da Chiang at Red 888 Guns in San Francisco.
 * Some can be looted from a "gang" random encounter. Each male in a leather jacket toting an apparent SMG is really carrying a .223, while the females have 14mm pistols instead.
 * Random encounters with Morton brothers may also have one of such pistols.
 * There's one in a locker in Vault 15, with a suit of combat armor. They're on the second level.
 * Used by Lo Pan when challenged in unarmed combat for the Dragon. He cheats.

Appearances
The .223 pistol appears in Fallout and Fallout 2. It also makes an appearance in Fallout: New Vegas, labeled as "That Gun" and with the Gun Runners' Arsenal DLC as the 5.56mm pistol.

Behind the scenes

 * This pistol's appearance is modelled exactly after Deckard's handgun in Blade Runner, right down to its double triggers and red LEDs.
 * The .223 pistol was planned to be included in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky as an easter egg, along with the Bozar and generic .223 ammunition, but only remains partially implemented in the game's resources.
