A Sig-Sauer 14mm Auto Pistol. Large, singleshot handgun. Excellent craftsmanship.

The 14mm pistol is a small gun in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Background[]

A large framed semi-automatic pistol, the SIG-Sauer 14mm autopistol was imported alongside matching 14mm ammunition to the U.S. in limited quantities.[1][Non-game 1] This powerful weapon and its ammunition was relatively uncommon, and could be rechambered to accept other, more common high powered cartridges.[Non-game 2]

Characteristics[]

Fallout[]

In Fallout, the Sig-Sauer is a powerful, large-caliber handgun equaling the double-barreled shotgun in damage per shot, but with a significantly greater range, a +20% bonus to chance to hit, and larger magazine capacity.

Since ammunition multipliers are not applied due to a bug in the executable, it compares favorably to most other non-energy pistols in the game, second only to the unique .223 pistol. It uses the submachine gun sprite, which makes it usable by Ian and Katja.

Fallout 2[]

In Fallout 2, the 14mm pistol is crippled by the absence of hollow point ammunition, as the only round available for the weapon, the 14mm AP (along with most other AP ammunition) was given the unfavorable Damage Modifier of 1/2.

This halves the weapon's damage output before Damage Threshold is applied, making it ineffective against all but the weakest targets.

Notes[]

The 14mm pistol, despite being called a pistol, uses submachine gun animations. This prevents certain characters like John Cassidy or Vic from using it, but allows others such as Katja and Sulik to do so.
