Ballistic Fist

The ballistic fist is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The ballistic fist is a gauntlet with a small, pressure plate-activated shotgun welded to it. It is similar to the punch gun found in Fallout Tactics, despite being a "gun" and firing shotgun shells, the punch gun is not a gun, it's an unarmed weapon and requires no ammo. The Heavy Handed trait greatly affects the ballistic fist because it does not rely on critical hits to deal damage. However a temporary critical hit chance of 53% is possible with the weapon.

Locations

 * The Praetorian guard, Caesar's personal bodyguards, hold them. They can be found in The Fort, inside Caesar's tent. Additionally, there are a few of them in Legate's Camp; however, you can only get to the location at the end of the game.
 * The Weather Station guards (1 unique Legion soldier, 2 Praetorian guards) also carry them. You should be able to kill them and take their equipment without alerting the rest of the camp.
 * Can be purchased from Torres in the Hidden Valley Bunker and from the quartermaster in the Hoover Dam offices after gaining access to their respective inventories.
 * Can be purchased from Blake of the Crimson Caravan at the Crimson Caravan camp.
