Wild Wasteland?
Is this a wild wasteland weapon or a real game weapon (--24.19.155.150 01:12, October 19, 2010 (UTC))

It's a real game weapon as I just acquired it and I do not have the perk--96.248.39.87 23:16, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

Repair
Is there really no way to repair this other than NPCs?


 * There are generic weapon repair kits and if you have the jury rigging perk you can repair That Gun with any one handed gun.

Aww man
As cool as this gun is, I though it was double special because it costed me 1337 caps.

lol...i stole it from the room next to the guy, if you sneak behind the counter your hidden and you can view/unlock the door, for future reference its on a shelf to the right as you enter the storage section. ithinkimaddicted 19:29, October 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Vendor will also sell you his key during the "Come Fly With Me" quest, and with Barter skill you can talk him down to ten caps. Just trade him some junk and the cost is covered. --http://brianranzoni.com 18:05, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oye, the visual appearance of this gun is a direct reference to the weapon used by Harrison ford in Blade Runner. Should that not get a shout out in appearances? I thought it was an interesting enough tidbit to be worth mentioning, but someone who disagrees without checking keeps removing the edit.

its already mentioned...Toolazytomakeaaccount 02:51, October 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Dude, it's called "That Gun" because of the fact that players when testing referred to it as "That Gun from Fallout and Fallout 2." Kastera1000 02:34, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Cowboy Perk?
Seeing as this is a revolver, does this gun work with the Cowboy perk? 71.105.140.83 23:09, October 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * No it does not. Aside from saying so in the wiki, I got the perk and my Autoloader wasn't boosted.--http://brianranzoni.com 18:03, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is the only article which said it didnt get boosted. Mictlantecuhtli 19:55, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't say it in this article, and the cowboy perk page includes it as one of the weapons, somebody should change this. 71.105.140.83 00:39, October 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't say it now, because I edited out the contradictory statement. All other references to the gun list it as being influenced by the perk. The gun is a revolver, all revolvers are boosted by the perk. Mictlantecuhtli 02:40, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I see, thank you for clearing that up my good man. 71.105.140.83 03:59, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

Revolver or not, Cowboy DOES NOT provide any bonus to That Gun, because WeapNVThatGun is not included in the PerkCowboyWeapons form list (easily checked with the GECK.) Vel8 15:21, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

I got this by a bug
I was leaving one of the casinos in New Vegas and this weapon appeared in my inventory randomly. PC version.


 * Are u really sure? Like, weren't you drunk or something? LOL --Marcelolzao97 00:18, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * You sure you didn't pick it up and give it to a companion? -- 00:49, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

lazy developers
"that gun" "this machine" pretty lazy sometimes when naming weapons eh?

yes I know that that gun gets its name from the term "that gun from fallout and fallout 2" I was just cracking wise


 * Then...why say anything at all? All you've established now is that you can't make a decent joke to save your life.--Char-Nobyl 11:10, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Differential damage?
Unconfirmed (PC); this gun seems to be highly effective against ghouls, over and above the fact it has high critical chances. Perhaps developers making a nod to Deckard's gun in Bladerunner being used for hunting Replicants? I am not tech savvy enough to work out how you might find that out, but even against the tougher Glowing Ones just a few shots does it, compared to other weapons like the Laser Rifle and Plasma Rifle. --Desktopcarl 11:28, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe I am just imagining it? :o)
 * If I had known you didn't want to sign your post I would've moved the comments here for you. I've never found the gun to be overly effective, I used it only briefly though and then started using Lucky. Mictlantecuhtli 11:25, November 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * I hadn't realised I hadn't signed it, I am so rubbish at this! :o) I have to say I am not thrilled with it against anything other than Ghouls, which is why its effect seemed to stand out. --Desktopcarl 11:28, November 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * I find that if you use armor piercing rounds it destroys members of the legion. I feel thats its biggest advantage, since it uses 5.56mm you find alot more of varying types of ammo imo. Reaver10 04:59, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

-_-
Bethesda, Obsidian, if you want to make NAMED weapons ... at least, try to NAME em properly ... "that gun", srsly ... maybe im missing a réference, but ... damn!! Dunno, call it "cal. 223 xs" "cal.223 modified", blade runner, wootgun XT 42, i mean ... something cool, something sexy, something funny ... not "that gun" ... if only this was the only one, but they all sounds gay and shitty, is it done willingly ??? Do you really think that we would still hear about Excalibur if its name was "this sword" ??? PLEASE !--WikiSidd 05:41, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Technically, its name is "2019 Detective Special". :/
 * A guy called sean10mm made a great little plug-in called A Better "That Gun", if you're interested. Nitty Tok. 05:48, December 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * this mod fix just about everything i dislike about "that gun". I wasn't aware of the name "2019 detective special", i always called it cal.223 since fallout 2. Unfortunately, i have a weak PC, so i'm playing FNV on 360.--WikiSidd 18:09, December 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Don't feel bad, if my PC had the strength to run this kind of game, I would still have it for 360, but you can bet you bottom dollar (and the one above it, and the one above that one too) that I would get this game for PC in a heartbeat using my own money (and your bottom dollar, and the one above it, and the one above that one too). --TJbrena 16:44, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

New image to add?
Is this a good image of That Gun in Blade Runners? --Blahmarrow 01:59, February 12, 2011 (UTC)



Bad bug
Qstar 11:33, February 20, 2011 (UTC)I just chekced my inventory after activating helios one (should've toasted those jerks) And that gun is gone! I checked my safe every merchant and a nightkin but it's just gone! Someone help Qstar 11:33, February 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * What do you expect us to do about it? If you lost your gun, then you lost your gun. There's not much you can do bring it back. If you're playing on PC, then you could \use some console commands, but otherwise it gone. Sorry for loss. Kastera1000 17:20, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

Dang! I was afraid of that when i didn't see it on that nightkin, thanks anyway Qstar 15:45, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

"That nightkin"? What nightkin? This gun is not acquired from a nightkin. Besides, you didn't really lose much; it's an okay gun really early on if you have a high luck stat and maybe AP rounds, but that's about it.

Don't you think i know that? I can read the article too and the last thing I killed with it was a nightkin so i checked there too. It was indeed early in the game and i was a luck person Qstar 17:20, February 23, 2011 (UTC)
