Useful mostly for beginners in the wonderful world of small arms, ''Guns and Bullets'' improves the [[Small Guns]] skill level. However, reading alone will not make a marksman; the higher the reader's skill in Small Guns, the smaller the skill increase will be. At very high levels, the magazine will do nothing at all. Specifically, once the skill reaches 92%, the book will do nothing (this applies to all skill books in Fallout and Fallout 2). It is however possible to adjust this through the difficulty setting, or by temporarily lowering your SPECIAL attributes (and the corresponding skills) through drug use.

==Variants==
''Guns and Bullets'' is rather prevalent in the wasteland, and many shops carry the magazine. Scroungers can also expect to find copies in some desks and bookcases. The average cost for a copy of ''Guns and Bullets'' to a buyer with an average [[Barter]] skill is approximately 425 caps.
