FoTV Fo1 10mm pistol The Radio — Thaddeus points his pistol at the snake oil salesman

The Colt 6520 10mm autoloading pistol is a highly durable and efficient weapon developed by Colt Firearms prior to the Great War.^[3] It proved to be resistant to the extreme conditions of the wasteland and is a fine example of workmanship and quality construction. Its simple design allows it to be easily manufactured with relatively basic equipment, making reproduction possible in workshops across the post-nuclear world. The Colt 6520's reliability and accessibility makes it very popular among wasteland denizens, for who sophisticated, high-maintenance weapons would be a liability to survival.^[4]

It appears to be a standard handgun of the non-power armored soldiers of the Brotherhood of Steel chapter operating from a pre-War Air Force base, with armored knights using a T60 pistol instead.

In the TV series[]

The Target[]

This pistol is the sidearm used by Maximus and other Brotherhood of Steel squires. Maximus uses it to kill a yao guai attacking Titus in the Wilds.

The Head[]

Thaddeus also carries one gun when he arrives at Filly.

The Radio[]

Another Colt 6520 pistol is carried by Thaddeus. He points it at the snake oil salesman while the latter peruses his collection of drugs. Later, when Maximus and Lucy MacLean encounter Thaddeus at the KPSS radio station, Thaddeus empties the gun in their direction, but misses every shot.

The Beginning[]

Multiple Brotherhood soldiers are seen carrying this gun during the Battle of Griffith Observatory.

During the episode's climax, Maximus uses his sidearm to shoot the lock off the birdcage in which Hank is being held prisoner. After Hank knocks Maximus out, Lucy grabs Maximus' gun and holds her father at gunpoint. Before she can shoot him, The Ghoul shoots Hank in the side of the face. Before Lucy leaves with the Ghoul, she uses Maximus' gun to shoot her mother dead, ending her existence as a feral ghoul.

Behind the scenes[]

This pistol is based closely on the version originally appearing in Fallout and Fallout 2 video games, in turn, based on a gun seen in the comic book Hard Boiled with art by Geofrey Darrow.
