Silenced 10mm Pistol

The Silenced 10mm Pistol is a Fallout 3 weapon. It is a 10mm Pistol equipped with a suppressor. The benefit of the suppressor is that when you fire on an enemy and kill them in the first salvo (say, using VATS while hidden), no nearby enemies will be alerted. But the down side is the slightly less damage it does. If you do not kill your target in the first salvo, they will likely alert nearby enemies. It is a great weapon for assassin-type characters, a good sneak and small guns skill will give you an advantage when sneaking while using this weapon.

Regular 10mm Pistols can be used to repair the Silenced 10mm Pistol.

Caution! Be careful to not repair a regular 10mm Pistol with the Silenced 10mm, as they may be hard to find. (I have never seen a common enemy other than ghouls in the underworld using this weapon!)

It is wielded by Mr. Burke in Megaton or in Tenpenny Tower. It can also be found in the Railways during the quest to eliminate Fire Ants from the subway system, along with a Scoped .44 Magnum. Another silenced 10mm pistol can be found in the caves underneath Oasis, along with a stash of resources. Merchants occasionally carry this pistol as well. It can also be found in the first house in Springvale, in a safe with an easy lock. Also, some Ghoul residents in the Underwold carries it inside the "Bar" there.

This weapon can also be purchased occasionally in the Rivet City Market at Flak and Shrapnels, after saying all their weapons are in bad condition and he shows you the items in the locker.

The only other ranged silent weapon is the Dart Gun, which is a custom weapon.
