The pipe gun is a weapon in Fallout 76.

Characteristics

The pipe pistol is a makeshift firearm constructed using wood scraps, metal pipes, screws, springs and metal bands. It fires .38 rounds from a magazine loaded into the left side of the gun. When modded with a stock, it will be a pipe rifle and will be affected by rifle perks instead of pistol perks. While the pipe gun 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.
