The railway rifle is a weapon in Fallout 76.

Characteristics

The railway rifle is a unique weapon in that it fires railway spikes (once used to secure rails to the wooden ties to make tracks) at enemies with high damage from each shot. When reloaded, the spikes are loaded through a slot in the top, and the weapon makes a sound like a train whistle when it is ready to fire again once reloaded. Utility Protectrons found in Site Alpha, Site Bravo, and Site Charlie are armed with nailguns that work similar to the railway rifle when fired from their hands.
