The 10mm pistol, officially the N99 10mm pistol, is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Contents
Background
The large-framed N99 was selected as the standard issue conventional sidearm of the United States military, following the phaseout of the N80 in 2051.[1] The long-barreled pistol remained in service for 26 years, until the Great War destroyed the United States. The pistol is designed to withstand the most extreme conditions, which was one of the requirements for a new service sidearm. It can also be repaired easily by anyone with even the most basic technical knowledge. This includes both clearing misfeeds[2] and restoring a unit to working condition after long exposure to elements without maintenance.[1]
These features also make it popular with wastelanders, who appreciate the ease of maintenance.[citation needed] It remains a common weapon, as even though many civilian units were ruined, they can easily be restored by anyone with some repair knowledge.[citation needed] Even damaged units can be used reliably, though they will offer subpar performance and jam frequently. The number of manufactured pistols means that parts are easy to come by, however.[1] The N99 10mm pistol may be equipped with a suppressor for more covert applications.
Characteristics
10mm pistol expanded
Though it is easily obtained, the pistol is prone to breaking after a short period of use, so carefully-aimed shots are important. Its iron-sights are also slightly misaligned, with the front post being aligned slightly to the left of the center. However, it does benefit from being considered an improved holdout weapon, and can be concealed and taken into weapon-free locations with a Sneak skill of 50 or greater.
Durability
The 10mm pistol can fire a total of about 395 standard rounds, the equivalent of 33 magazines, or 25 reloads when modded with extended magazines, from full condition before breaking.

Behind the scenes
Joshua Sawyer: Yes. 10mm weapons seemed more "vaulty"/futuristic in my mind.”— Joshua Sawyer
Bugs
- Sometimes when equipping a 10mm pistol modded with an extended mag, the mag may appear under the trigger. This bug can be fixed by re-equipping the weapon. [verified]
- Sometimes when you equip the 10mm pistol, the laser sight modification may not be activated. To fix this, simply un-equip the pistol and re-equip it. [verified]
- The weapon may also turn invisible while aiming down the sight. [verified]
- If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have the 10mm pistol equipped and drawn, the reload animation takes twice as long as normal. This can be solved by simply switching to another gun and then back again. [verified]

Pek: "Sure, I guess. Can you fix it?"
