The BB gun, officially the Raider BB rifle,[1] is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics[]
BB gun expanded
As a pneumatically-powered lever-action airgun, it is primarily used for small game hunting or recreational target practice utilizing BB pellets. With a base damage of only 4, it is the weakest of all ballistic weapons in the game even when boosted with the Cowboy perk, heavily reducing its usefulness against anything larger and stronger than a radroach or bloatfly. Due to the lack of gunpowder explosions or energy discharge, it is considered a silent weapon, but still falls behind even to the silenced .22 pistol in terms of damage-per-second (DPS).
Durability[]
The BB gun can fire a total of about 245 BBs, the equivalent of 2.5 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
Variant[]
- Abilene Kid LE BB gun, a unique variant found in Fields' shack north-northwest of North Vegas, sitting on one of the shelves on the left wall.
 | The following is based on the Wild Wasteland trait. |

- With the Wild Wasteland trait, the Abilene Kid LE will instead be located inside a well that appears in front of the shack. The well appears after talking to Rex and asking him if someone fell down a well. Doing this will cause the Courier to receive a map marker for Jimmy's well.
