The Abilene Kid LE BB Gun is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics
The Abilene Kid LE BB Gun is a variant of the standard BB gun, on both sides of the weapon's stock is the inscription "Abilene Kid ~Limited Edition~ 1 of 200.". Although it shows no obvious significant differences to the standard version when examined in the player's Pip-Boy, it has a slightly higher critical chance and a dramatically higher critical damage bonus, boasting an astounding 70 points of added damage for a critical hit. With the Better Criticals perk a critical hit from the Abilene Kid LE BB gun is on par with one from a hunting rifle, doing 109 damage total compared to the hunting rifle's 113.
Due to its relatively low critical chance multiplier the Abilene Kid LE BB gun cannot be relied upon to be effective in normal combat without additional critical chance modifiers, such as the Finesse perk or True Police Stories skill magazine. It can be considered more useful for stealth-based players who can rely on achieving sneak attack criticals regularly, further enhanced by the fact that the weapon is classified as silent.
Like the standard BB gun, the Abilene Kid LE BB gun has a comparatively (to other rifle weapons) high spread, which makes the weapon somewhat impractical to use for anything beyond mid-range attacks.
The Ablilene LE BB Gun can be repaired by the regular BB gun or any bolt/lever action weapon with the Jury Rigging perk.
Variant
- BB gun, a standard version found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
Locations
- It can be found in Fields' Shack, south-west of Nellis Air Force Base. The shack is right next to the main road leading in to the base. The gun is sitting on one of the shelves on the left wall.
 | The following is based on the Wild Wasteland trait. |

- If you have the Wild Wasteland trait, the gun will instead be located inside a well that appears in front of the shack. The well appears after talking to Rex upon him saying "aroo" and asking him if someone fell down a well. Doing this will cause you to receive a map marker denoting the location of Jimmy's Well.

Notes
There is a unique BB gun in Fallout and Fallout 2 called the Red Ryder LE BB gun. This may be in reference to that weapon.
Bugs
Sometimes the gun will drop through the floor of the shack, or just simply isn't there, rendering it unobtainable in some cases.- It is possible that when you pick up the gun it will not appear on your menu. You can sell it, but you cannot use it in combat. To fix this (if you obtained it from Jimmy's Well) is to enter the well again. The gun will reappear in your inventory. Simply drop it and pick it up again, and it should appear in your inventory when you leave the well.
- Player character's finger blocks the iron sights if player character is male, but not if player is female.
- Sneak attacks with the Abilene Kid LE BB Gun will not inflict critical damage unless that attack is a head shot this tends to happen more often if the target has more DT than the weapons base damage.
