== Notes ==
* When starting a new game, if the pistol skill is initially downgraded from trained to untrained (so as to return 1575 skill points back to the initial skill points pool), the pistol skill will automatically be set to "trained" at the start of gameplay at the cost of no skill points.
* In order to start the pistol skill at untrained, it is necessary to use console commands.
