.223 pistol (Fallout 2)

The .223 pistol is a small gun in Fallout 2.

Characteristics
Excellent all-around weapon, perfect for all characters using the Small Guns skill. Particularly well suited for Sulik in the early stages, when the player doesn't have a steady supply of ammunition for high end submachine guns, which outclass the .223 round at point blank range every time.

Locations

 * Vendors
 * Shady Sands, Bazaar, Buster's Fine Emporium of Armament: Buster.
 * New Reno: Eldridge, New Reno Arms (Made Man stock).
 * San Francisco: Mai Da Chiang, Red 888 Guns.


 * Loot
 * Vault 15: In a locker on the second level, alongside a suit of combat armor.
 * Worldmap: Found in a "gang" random encounter. Males in leather jackets carry .223 pistols, whereas the girls with the green mohawk and black leather have 14mm pistols.

Behind the scenes

 * The pistol is modeled on Deckard's blaster from Blade Runner by Gary Platner.
 * A .223 pistol was intended to be available as an Easter egg weapon in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, alongside the Bozar, but it never made it out of development stages.

Bugs

 * The description of the pistol has not been updated to reflect its wider availability.
