Chinese pistol (Fallout 3)

The Chinese pistol is a weapon in Fallout 3.
==Background==
==Characteristics==
The Chinese pistol is an autoloading pistol that is fed by an internal magazine which is reloaded by 10-round stripper clips. It has one of the lowest damage ratings in the game, inferior even to the starting 10mm pistol.
It can spawn on raiders and slavers, and may be carried by Talon Company mercenaries as a backup weapon. Even Megaton settlers and Underworld residents may carry it as a sidearm, though the 10mm pistol is a lot more commonplace, reducing the Chinese pistol to a curiosity for selling off to vendors.
===Durability===
The Chinese pistol can fire a total of about 1250 rounds, the equivalent of 125 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese pistol - a unique variant of the Chinese pistol found in L.O.B. Enterprises. It has better critical chance and durability, and deals fire damage over time on hit.
* -
