The Packin’ Momma™ Pocket Derringer is a pre-war small arm produced in limited numbers by DeWitt Defence. The gun was primarily targeted towards female buyers and was most strongly advertised during the lead-up to Valentine’s Day. The most frequently used slogans for the gun’s marketing include “A pretty pistol for a pretty lady,” and “You’re packing but how’s the wife?”
==Background==
Produced by DeWitt Defence beginning in 2152, the Packin’ Momma™ Pocket Derringer was initially advertised alongside a parody of the song “Pistol Packin’ Momma.” However, DeWitt Defence did not receive permission from the Crosby Family before utilizing the song in their advertisement. This led to a series of legal battles, especially around the copyright DeWitt Defence had filed for the term “Packin’ Momma.” Eventually, the case was settled outside of court. However, this led to a period of three years where the pistol was not sold, harming both its sales and reputation.
In spite of this, the pistol would see yearly release each Valentines Season between 2056 and 2062. The pistol would be discontinued after 2062, citing poor sales. In total, roughly 720 pistols were produced and sold mostly throughout the Midwest.
==Characteristics==
The Packin’ Momma™ Pocket Derringer is a two-shot pistol which is effective at short and extremely short ranges. It is especially effective against unarmoured humanoid targets where its low damage and low fire rate do not prove an issue. The guns are also surprisingly resilient and may often be found in good condition, usually on the corpses of their former owners. Nevertheless, it is a poor choice for the average wastelander.
==Variants==
*Prototype No. 9 - A long-barrel, purple version of the pistol. It fires shotgun shells instead of 10mm rounds, making it even more lethal at close range. However, it is much harder to control.
*Cleo - A collector’s edition version of the pistol released to coincide with its launch. It comes with a matte black finish and a white handle cover. An image of a cowgirl holding the gun is painted onto the grip. Additionally, the pistol is unique in that a single trigger pull will fire both shots at once.
==Locations==
*DeWitt Factory - A unique version of the pistol, Prototype No. 9, can be found in a display case in the foreman’s office.
*Grant Clinic Apartments - A unique version of the pistol, Cleo, can be found locked in a safe in one of the apartments.
*Plankville - They can very rarely be bought from Verne Ray in Verne’s Choice Defence. Verne will also occasionally reward the pistol after shooting competitions.
**Verne will only reward this pistol once and has a higher likelihood of rewarding it to female characters.
**If a shooting competition is won with one of these pistols, Verne will act surprised and award an extra 50 caps.
