Template documentation (for the template shown above, sometimes hidden or invisible)

Infobox template for weapons in games using the Gamebryo engine (Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas).

If you are creating an infobox for Fallout 4, it is highly recommended that you use Template:Infobox weapon creation instead!

Usage
