“A .223 rifle modified and cut down to a pistol. This is a one-of-a-kind firearm, obviously made with love and skill.”

The .223 pistol is a small gun in Fallout.

Background

This section is transcluded from .223 pistol. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

The first .223 pistol was modified from a full sized .223 revolving rifle, belonging to Irwin, a farmer outside of the Hub. He cut his rifle down to the size of a large pistol. This unique weapon offered firepower comparable to a hunting rifle in the compact package of a pistol. Five rounds of .223 ammunition were more than enough to deal with most dangers out in the wastes.

This iconic sidearm caught the eye of gunsmiths in the following years, and the pistol saw mass production but was modified to fully accommodate the more powerful 5.56mm. Vestigial elements, such as the double triggers, were shed to improve performance. The internal mechanisms are retained from the original .223 revolving rifle, modified as needed to create a powerful double-action revolver.

Characteristics

The .223 pistol is a unique weapon acquired by completing a specific quest. Its damage per shot, range, and armor penetration (courtesy of a special perk) is unmatched by any other non-energy handgun in the game. It has the lowest magazine capacity of any pistol, uses SMG animations, and can be used by the companions Katja and Ian.

Locations

• A reward for helping Irwin in the Hub.

Behind the scenes

Blade Runner gun

• This pistol's appearance is modeled 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.
• The gun was modeled by Gary Platner.
