.45 Auto

.45 Auto is a type of ammunition in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.
==Characteristics==
 Among the Mormons of New Canaan, it was the ammunition of their signature weapon, the .45 Auto pistol. After the completion of Honest Hearts, the ammunition type will also begin appearing in the base game traders inventories (Gun Runners, Cliff Briscoe, Mick & Ralph's etc.).
===Production===
Standard, +P and super .45 Auto rounds can be crafted at a reloading bench. A single cartridge requires the following ingredients:
===Breakdown===
Breaking down a .45 Auto round yields:
==Weapons using this ammunition==
* .45 Auto pistol 
* A Light Shining in Darkness
* .45 Auto submachine gun
==Variants==
===.45 Auto, +P===
 However, +P cartridges degrade the firearm faster.
===.45 Auto, hollow point===
Federal Cartridge brand hollow point bullets feature a hollowed out shape at the bullet tip which causes it to mushroom and break up on impact, dealing massive trauma on fleshy, unarmored targets. However, this also means they break up when they hit targets like armor plates, drastically reducing the weapon's penetrating power.
===.45 super (hand load)===
 Like +P .45 Auto cartridges, .45 Super rounds will lower the condition of its chambered weapon at a faster rate.
===Comparison===
==Locations==
* The Great Khan armorer and Quartermaster Bardon will stock huge amounts of this ammunition and its casings after the completion of Honest Hearts. Bardon is especially reliable, as he will usually have over 1200 regular and over 200 +P.
* Sold by most suppliers who deal in weapons, such as the Gun Runners, Cliff Briscoe, Mick & Ralph's, etc.
==Notes==
* The .45 Auto round is the only type of ammunition to have different ammunition box models for the different ammunition variants.
* This type of ammo is limited to vendors outside of Zion.
* .45 Auto rounds are one of only two ammunition types that can be broken down into exactly the same number of materials needed for their construction, the other being rockets.
==Behind the scenes==
.45 Auto weapons were specifically created for Honest Hearts, and were not intended to be included in the base game.Fallout: New Vegas 10th Anniversary Charity Stream (reference starts at 3:50:42)Joshua Sawyer: "'Did I intend for .45 weapons to be in the vanilla game?' No, no. Those were added specifically for Honest Hearts. I mean, like, they're cool, but no, I never planned on them being in the base game."
