“The use, care and general knowledge of small firearms - pistols, SMGs and rifles.”— In-game description
Small Guns is a Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3 and Fallout Tactics skill.
In Fallout: New Vegas, it was merged into a more general Guns skill with Big Guns, similar to the canceled Van Buren, which would have merged the skills into the Firearms skill.
Fallout
- .
Example: A starting Agility of 5.
Small Guns are the staple weapons of choice for the post apocalyptic nuclear war survivor. Although small guns lack the wide devastation possible with Big Guns and Energy Weapons, they are more than capable of holding their own in a fight. Small Guns, unlike Big Guns or Energy Weapons, can be quickly trained with books and is naturally high to begin with. Ammunition is also plentiful and can usually be bought or looted from containers and bodies.
The small guns character can easily exploit these advantages by building a gunfighter or sniper character. There are several perks available that directly increase this skill, the most powerful being "Sniper".
Also, some of the most unique and powerful weapons (read: Red Ryder LE BB gun) are available for those who specialize in small guns.
Affected weapons
Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics
Example: A starting Agility of 5.
As with Fallout, Small Guns operates in much the same way in Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics.
Affected weapons
- Fallout 2
- Fallout Tactics
Fallout 3
"Because it's easier to have courage from a safe distance away."
Example: A starting Agility of 5 and Luck of 5.
In general, the Small Guns skill raises the players accuracy and/or damage with any weapon that is affected by the skill. The higher the Small Guns skill, the lower the projectile spread, and the more stable scoped weapons such as the sniper rifle or the scoped .44 magnum will be when aiming through the scope. At 100 points, scoped-weapons have no sway at all; however, having either arm crippled will still result in a severe sway while using the scope.
On average, increasing Small Guns by 5 points will increase Small Gun weapon damage by ~3.5%. There is also a diminishing margin of return. In general, increasing Small Guns from 5 to 10 will increase weapon damage more than increasing it from 95 to 100.

Notes
- Common raider and super mutant small guns such as the hunting rifle, assault rifle and Chinese assault rifle are also efficient weapons that you can reliably keep in good condition for the entire game. Small Guns could be considered the best and most useful gun class in the game as they are very diverse, common and powerful.
- The higher the small guns skill, the lower the projectile spread of small guns, and the more stable scoped weapons such as the sniper rifle or the scoped .44 magnum will be when aiming through the scope. At 100 points in Small Guns, scoped-weapons have no sway at all; however, having either arm crippled will still result in severe sway while using the scope.
- Unlike the Gauss rifle from previous Fallout games, the Gauss rifle found in the Operation : Acnchorage DLC is affected by the energy weapons skill instead of the small guns skill.
- In Fallout: New Vegas, it was merged into a more general Guns skill with Big Guns, similar to the canceled Van Buren, which would have merged the skills into the Firearms skill.
