Lead (Fallout: New Vegas)

Lead is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.
==Characteristics==
Lead is a component used to make all types of conventional ammunition except for 12 gauge coin shot, which requires Legion Denarius instead.
===Production===
==Locations==
* Lead may be obtained by disassembling ammunition or converting scrap metal at a reloading bench, with different rounds yielding differing amounts of lead. One piece of scrap metal yields 200 lead.
* In the Sink, once Muggy has been activated, he can break down ceramic dinner plates and white plates into batches of 20 lead each.
==Notes==
* Both the image and the in-game model used for lead look exactly like the ones used for scrap metal.
* Even though lead has its weight stat showing "0.00," it is simply a weight that falls in the thousandths (items that are actually weightless have a weight display of "--"). Each piece of lead has a weight of about 0.0013999904 pounds. To put it in perspective, every 714.5 units of lead is equal to a full pound of encumbrance. It's trivial to obtain tens of thousands of units, making the total weight non-trivial, and have no idea of the source of that portion of the player character's encumbrance unless aware of this "hidden" weight. A later update changed the weight value to display the aggregate total, not the individual amount, making it much easier to see the total weight of the lead.
