Blackhawk is a unique scoped .44 Magnum in Fallout 3.
Background[]
The weapon previously belonged to Agatha's husband, who modified it and often practiced his shooting with it.[1] The modifications he made to it were exceptional, as the weapon is incredibly powerful and accurate at any range.[Non-game 1] After he passed away, he left the weapon to his wife. If the Lone Wanderer assists Agatha in recovering the Soil Stradivarius and also acquires a sheet music book for her, she passes the weapon on to them.[1][2]
Characteristics[]
Like the standard scoped .44 Magnum, Blackhawk is a powerful, accurate sidearm. It has no recoil when looking down the scope and firing.
Durability[]
Blackhawk can fire a total of about 218 rounds, the equivalent of 37 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
Variants[]
- Scoped .44 Magnum - The standard variant.
- Callahan's Magnum
- Named after famous gunfighter and security guard Harold Callahan, Callahan's Magnum is the more effective version of Blackhawk, dealing more damage with less wear and tear. - Paulson's revolver - Drawn by cowboy Paulson in the hostile confines of Mothership Zeta, it lacks the scope and fires a slew of pellets instead of a single bullet.
- Wernher's scoped .44 Magnum - An unobtainable version of the scoped .44 Magnum carried by Wernher. It has significantly higher item HP but is otherwise identical to the standard variant.

Agatha: "Well, like I told you before, I don't have wealth out here in the sticks, but I can certainly provide you something useful. My husband left me something else besides the radio setup. I think you'll find it useful. It's his old pistol. He tinkered with it some and used to practice with it all the time. Now I want you to have it."
The Lone Wanderer: "Thanks, Agatha. It's more than I expected."
Agatha: "You're welcome. Just keep it clean and repaired and it will never let you down. Now, scoot. I have to get cracking on this music notation."
(Agatha’s dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Guess what I have for you?"
Agatha: "My word! You actually found some REAL music paper? I didn't even think it possible. Yet here it is. You've really outdone yourself this time. I knew getting the Stradivarius was a challenge, but this is just incredible. This is all too much... you deserve more than just a pat on the back."
The Lone Wanderer: "It better be good. I busted my ass getting that paper."
Agatha: "Manners are not your strong suit, are they? Here, take this pistol. It's all I have left. Use it to protect yourself, or shoot yourself in the foot for all I care. Now if you don't mind, I need to get some things done. Goodbye."

Obtained after you locate some Sheet Music Paper for Agatha (Zone 5.06) after completing Miscellaneous Quest: Agatha's Song, this is a truly exceptional one handed weapon. It has devastating power and excellent accuracy at any range, and is scoped for sniping. Adventurers who like manual aim should seek out this unique weapon. The only shortfall is the relatively rare ammo."
