The .32 pistol, formally called the Smith & Wesson .32 pistol,[1] is a weapon in Fallout 3.
Characteristics[]
.32 pistol expanded
A low-caliber handgun produced by the pre-War Smith & Wesson and chambered for .32 caliber rounds, the weapon is commonly used by raiders and wastelanders alike in the Capital Wasteland. However, it comparatively deals very little damage per shot next to other weapons.
Durability[]
The .32 pistol can fire a total of about 556 standard rounds, the equivalent of 112 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
Variants[]
Wild Bill's Sidearm - a unique variant that is more powerful and durable.- Concealed .32 pistol - a variant classified as a miscellaneous item that can be optionally given by Wernher during Into The Pitt if one decides to try sneaking a weapon past the raiders and asks for a gun. It is replaced by a normal .32 pistol after completing the quest.
- Law Dog - a unique variant that was cut from the base game.
