.223 pistol (Fallout)

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

Characteristics
The .223 is one of the best of all the small guns pistols. It does more damage than any other non-energy pistol, and fires a .223 FMJ round, which has the best DR modifier and second-best AC modifier of any ammo. The only downside is the low ammo capacity, a paltry 5 rounds. Even the 14mm and .44 revolver hold more ammo. Still, with .223 a common caliber and the damage on the .223 pistol being astronomical, it's easily one of the best weapons in the game.

Fallout

 * A reward for helping Irwin in the Hub.

Fallout 2

 * Can be purchased from Buster in NCR.
 * Or from Eldridge in New Reno after becoming a Made Man.
 * Or even from Mai Da Chiang at Red 888 Guns in San Francisco.
 * You can get it from a "gang" random encounter. Each male in a leather jacket toting an SMG is really carrying a .223. The girls with leather jackets and mohawks have 14mm pistols instead.
 * 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 you fight him in unarmed combat for the Dragon. He cheats.

Behind the scenes

 * This pistol's appearance is modeled exactly after Deckard's handgun in Blade Runner, right down to its double triggers and red LEDs.
 * Both the .223 pistol and the Bozar were planned to be included in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky as Easter eggs.

Bugs

 * The .223 pistol, despite being labeled as a pistol, uses the sub-machine gun animation. This prevents certain models, like Cassidy's or Vic's, from using it, but lets others like Sulik and Katja wield it.
 * When they carried this weapon over from Fallout into Fallout 2, the developers neglected to change the description. While in Fallout this was indeed a one-of-a-kind weapon, you can find several of them throughout the game in Fallout 2, making the description a bit misleading.

Appearances
The .223 pistol appears in Fallout and Fallout 2. It also makes an appearance in Fallout: New Vegas, labeled as "That Gun".
