Virgin Mary Pistol
Hallelujah! Praise the lawd!


 * It Has something to do with Fallout 3, it says on the picture; llout 3, it may be a modd for fallout 3.92.8.2.186 16:43, March 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Apparently not, this picture is from a article from a German gaming mag that was talking about New Vegas, I also dug around to see if there was a mod like it, but I found none. ViperXeon 22:16, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

 * I can already imagine yelling "THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!" while firing this at people. And yes, I was thinking of modifying unique weapons too. :/ Clean Up 01:39, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

whilst using this gun. Because of this gun, *musically* *And suddenly that name, will never be the same, to me* Not to mention it will look classy with a suit, it is just a great looking gun. I can't imagine the sheer amount of fun I'll have in New Vegas with all the new stuff. I wouldn't want to ruin the looks with a suppresor or scope, though I would want to modify the All-American. The regular 9mm pistol I would put a suppresor and hi-cap mag on, and a suppressor on the Marksman Carbine as well. I don't think those two can have suppressors, but I hope so.

mormons
Hey Nitty, I know mormons are 'in the general area', but the design is clearly Catholic. I mean, Mexico/ans is/are 'in the general area' too. When I think of mormons, I don't think of guns and engavings of saints. When I think of Mexicans, I certainly to think of saintly figures, because that is apart of thier culture. So, it would not be farfetched to think that some hombre would carve a figure on this pistola, Yeah? Big McLargeHuge 20:15, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Ivory
If the pistol has ivory on/in it, then it's either 200 years old or elephants are roaming around the California area. Nukey (talk) 14:30, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

I would imagine that most guns in the game are 200 years old, Nukey. Sure, the Gun Runners make their own guns out of pre war designs, but most weaponry is probably old.--71.234.106.119 05:21, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Or the Gun Runners made the frame and slide of the gun by themselves, and the ivory was salvaged from preserved Pre-War collector's guns. --84.249.199.61 20:16, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Unless its stated that it IS ivory it could be any number of things artificial or otherwise, might be carved bone, big/brahmin horn, IM not sure if there's anything in the world of fallout with teeth that big, but it wouldnt surprise me either way.--Zombarian 19:26, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Benny's Gun?
Is this Benny's weapon? Because in the pic it looks like a 9mm but it's white, so....... P.E.A.C.H 08:41, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

watching a hd verison of the intro further backs this upLK Tien 05:15, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

That would be awesome if it was. I will go after him right away if it means getting this pistol. All of the weapons in this game look to awesome.--HelpMeRhonda213 19:33, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Virgin Gun?
Lots of possibilities, but the one I hope for the most is that this gun is literally a virgin before you fire it; possibly given to you to kill someone very important?


 * If this is in fact Benny's gun, then it is most certainly not a virgin, unless those rounds he shot you with were an "immaculate conception".

--Resplendant Securitron 02:57, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

I think the gun would still be called a virgin, if a gun loses its virginity when it first kills someone.

The guns official name
The gun is called "Maria" in game, confirmed here --99.48.73.88 20:35, September 21, 2010 (UTC) Good enough for me. 20:40, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Cannot be modded with scope
It says it could be on the articlee, but I am on the mod screen and the scope doesnt show up.


 * I don't know why that bug is listed that the weapon can be modded. It cannot. Even if it could, there are no textures for the new look so the weapon would have a large diamond with an exclamation mark in the center, the default texture if something is missing. Want to see that? The weathered 10mm pistol can be modded and does just that! KaisarDragon 21:20, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I listed it as a bug, as it happened for me all the effing time. Why you removed it, do i not know, yet i could still modd it and it was a bug. But now you removed it. Why? Did the Date of verification go out? Alta1r 10:03, February 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * He took it off because unique weapons can't be modded, pure and simple. Kastera 01:19, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

Concealed Weapon
Maria is a concealable weapon and can be snuck into other casinos even when your other weapons are removed.

LIES. What's your sneak? Because I cant get her it in. 20:16, October 28, 2010 (UTC) My Sneak is 50, and still i can get her in. For me, its one of the easiest weapons to conceal. Alta1r 10:04, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

Bet
50,000 caps to whoever can takeout a deathclaw on hard mode with this

throw in a handjob and you got yourself a deal!69.224.113.78 10:15, October 30, 2010 (UTC)fu
 * You know that the OP could be a guy, right? You really want another man touching you down there? 04:38, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

actually would be pretty easy if you picked the proper location. like in the rock quarry you can jump up on the machines and the deathclaws simply cant reach to hit you. just sit there with a pile of bullets until one finally dies.

anyways this weapon really isnt very good, outside of aesthetic purposes, simply because unless you make a bee-line to new vegas from the start and just skip everything you are supposed to do on the way you will be decently leveled and have much better weapons, not to mention there are no superior hand-loader shells for a 9mm.

hell, just opening the locked safe in primm, your first stop after goodsprings, rewards you with Lucky, which is a better pistol than this.

Doesn't come with the extended mags
Article says Maria cannot be modded, but comes with extended mags. That's not true, it's capacity is only 13 while it would have 20 round magazines if it were already modded.

Yeah, whats the deal with that? I f***ing love this gun and I've never seen an upgraded mag for it. Someone elaborate. Random encounter? Percent chance to get one with it? Cause I know for sure that regular upgrade mags don't work on it.--Exeter17 04:36, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

I think they meant that Maria's standard magazine is larger than the regular mag for the standard 9mil. --84.249.199.61 20:14, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Which isnt true. 9mm pistols have a standard clip size of 13 round, the extended mags add 7 additional rounds leading up to 20 rounds per clip. Since Maria has the standard 13 rounds instead of 20, the mention of Maria already coming with extended mags should be removed. --Radnus 81.205.186.16 20:43, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

Engraving
I was blowing heads apart earlier today and I noticed something. There's some text engraved on the left side of Maria. I only saw it for a second, and I know if I paused it, it'd only get all kinds of blurry. Anyone got an idea of what it says? -Malus X 03:40, November 24, 2010 (UTC) Made by M&A Guns Manufacturers. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 15:36, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

Disappearing from inventory!?
If you are quick to pickpocket, I believe you can pickpocket Maria before going to the presidential suite with Benny. But at the time he has reached the door to the lift, it seems to have disappeared from his inventory!?

(Also, I don't know if I stole the ammo or the gun, but Benny ran for the pool cue when I attacked him.) --Suedez 21:11, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

Pickpocket the ammo on the casino floor, so he will put the gun into his inventory so that it can be pickpocketed after he goes into the suite.

Similar gun
If any of you have seen the 'modern-day' Romeo and Juliet staring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, you might remember seeing another 9mm pistol with Jesus' mother on the grip - http://skyview.vansd.org/bquestad/rjtybsgun.jpg -FinalWish 07:19, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

OMFG. I remember my english teacher made us watch that at the beginning of the school year. Worst thing I've ever seen, every guy in that movie looks like a campy portrayal of a homosexual. Seriously, I fucking hated it. BTW, West Side Story is a musical version of Romeo & Juliet, so check out my singing near the top, about how awesome I thought this gun would be. --TJbrena 16:43, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
