Ballistic Fist

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

Characteristics
The ballistic fist is a powerful Unarmed weapon. It consists of a wrist-mounted shotgun with a pressure plate trigger worn over the knuckles, which fires when a punch connects with the target.

Special Attacks
This weapon can utilize up to three special attacks in V.A.T.S., each at the cost of 20 action points, depending on the character's Unarmed skill. Stomp, an attack dealing double damage where the target receives a swift downward kick that can only be used on enemies after they have been knocked down, is available without any skill point requirement. At an unarmed skill of at least 50, Uppercut is an upward punch that deals an additional 15% damage. At an unarmed skill of at least 75, Cross is a punch thrown across the body that deals 10% greater damage, with an additional 250% damage to limbs. Note that in Fallout: New Vegas unarmed damage is double normal weapon damage when used in V.A.T.S.

Unlike Ranger Takedown, Legion Assault, Scribe Counter and Khan Trick, other special unarmed moves that must be learned before use, these special attacks require only an investment in skill points to unlock.

Durability
The ballistic fist can successfully strike about 395 times from full condition before breaking.
