The pipe bolt-action is a weapon in Fallout 76.

Characteristics

The pipe bolt-action pistol is an improvised weapon consisting of a wooden body with scrap metal, springs, bolts and pipes machine up the working parts of the firearm and the grip. It fires .308 rounds, loaded into the left side of the gun, with an internal magazine. When modded with a stock, it will be a pipe bolt-action rifle. While the pipe bolt-action can be a useful weapon, its condition degrades quickly compared to machined guns. This quick deterioration is offset by investing in the Licensed Plumber perk.

Notes

Despite becoming a rifle when modded with a stock, it remains affected by pistol perks, from its pistol variant, while being additionally affected by rifle perks. It is unclear whether this is a bug or a feature.

• Initially craftable at a weapons workbench.
