Lincoln's repeater (Fallout 3)

Lincoln's repeater, or Lincoln's rifle,The Lone Wanderer: "Would you like to make an offer on Lincoln's Rifle?"Hannibal Hamlin: "His actual rifle? Such a priceless artifact! You must let me have it. I'll give you 150 caps for it."(Hannibal Hamlin's dialogue) is a unique lever-action rifle .
==Background==
This rifle belonged to Abraham Lincoln, a president of the United States of America. It has since been preserved in the Museum of History.
==Characteristics==
Lincoln's repeater is a very high-powered lever-action rifle. It uses .44 Magnum rounds, making it the only rifle using that round in the game. It is also the strongest single-shot, precision rifle in the game, although it only has a x2 critical multiplier and a very slow rate of fire. It lacks a scope, but it also has 0 spread (perfect accuracy), meaning accuracy at long range can be maintained by ignoring the bugged scope auto-aim. It also has a magazine capacity of 15 rounds and is very effective at long range in V.A.T.S.
===Durability===
Lincoln's repeater can fire a total of about 400 rounds, the equivalent of 33 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* Hunting rifle - The standard variant.
* Ol' Painless - More powerful variant of the hunting rifle that has a higher fire rate, and deals more damage, but is less durable.
* Lever-action rifle - A non-unique counterpart, which looks physically identical to Lincoln's repeater, save for the textures.
* Backwater rifle - Unique variant of the lever-action rifle.

==Location==
Lincoln's repeater is located in the Museum of History. To find it, enter the Museum of History, go through the lobby and enter the room with the statue of a wooly mammoth, left of the skull hanging over the entrance to Underworld. Inside this room, next to the statue of the wooly mammoth, are some doors that lead to the Museum of History lower halls. Go through these doors. Next, go to the top of the stairs into a room with several broken display cases, and in the back left corner of the room will be a door that leads to the Museum of History offices.
After entering the Museum of History offices, go to the top of the stairs. Take a left and then a right. Go to the end of the hall, through the prison door (Very Easy lock) and into a big room with a turret and a staircase. Go up these stairs. At the top of the staircase, there is a large hole in the wall. Go through the hole, and in the back left corner of the room are the body of a dead raider on the ground, a Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual and a display case with Lincoln's repeater inside.

==Behind the scenes==
* Lincoln's repeater is based on a real customized Henry rifle gifted to President Abraham Lincoln by the New Haven Arms Company in 1862, in hopes that it would influence him to adopt the model for use by the U.S. Army in the Civil War. The real rifle is currently displayed in the Smithsonian Institute. The in-game model differs slightly from the real version, being fitted with a wooden handguard (however, some HUD icons omit thisTwo HUD/Pip-Boy icons show the repeater looking more like its real life inspiration.) and uses modern .44 Magnum ammunition for gameplay purposes.
* Lincoln's repeater was originally intended to use the .44 caliber center fire ammunition before it was cut from the game.
