The 10mm pistol is a small gun in Fallout 3.
Characteristics

10mm pistol expanded
The pistol uses 10mm ammunition, commonly found in Washington, D.C. and the surrounding Capital Wasteland. This weapon can be used to repair the silenced 10mm pistol and Colonel Autumn's 10mm pistol.
Durability
The 10mm pistol can fire a total of about 556 rounds, the equivalent of 47 reloads, from full condition before breaking, an amount roughly half of what the Chinese pistol can fire.
Variants
- Silenced 10mm pistol - A suppressed version of this weapon. Although weaker, it does not give away its user's position when fired while sneaking.
- Colonel Autumn's 10mm pistol - Carried by Enclave Colonel Augustus Autumn, the colonel's 10mm pistol is nearly twice as powerful as the regular version.
- Butch's 10mm pistol - A unique pistol used by Butch DeLoria when acting as a companion.
- Sonora Cruz's 10mm pistol - A unique pistol found on Sonora Cruz. It deals 100 damage, but Sonora always flees from enemies and never uses her pistol.
- 10mm pistol - A sim-only version of the weapon which has been re-skinned to appear newer and less worn. It also differs in health, with a whopping 999,150 hit points, essentially preventing the gun from ever degrading. This weapon is not normally accessible outside of the simulation.
- 10mm steel alloy pistol - Another version of the weapon that was cut from the Operation Anchorage add-on, it differs from the standard 10mm pistol in appearance only, using the same new skin as the sim only version.
