10mm pistol (Fallout 3)

The N99 10mm pistol is a weapon found in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
A very good starting weapon, offering excellent performance against early and mid-game enemies. It uses the very common 10mm ammunition and can be easily repaired, as it's used far and wide. It is generally a better choice than the Chinese pistol, with greater firepower, fire rate, and accuracy. It is, however, less reliable as it can fire 552 rounds, translating to exactly 46 magazines, before breaking while the Chinese pistol is twice as durable.

Variants

 * Colonel Autumn's 10mm pistol: Unique personal sidearm of Colonel Augustus Autumn, with twice the firepower.
 * Silenced 10mm pistol: Fitted with a permanent silencer, it offers slightly worse ballistics, but counts as a silent weapon.
 * Sonora Cruz' 10mm pistol: Unique pistol used by Sonora Cruz (ID: 0006f210). Set to deal 100 damage per shot, but Sonora Cruz is scripted to always flee, so she never uses it in combat.
 * The simulated pre-War pistol from Operation: Anchorage offers the same performance, but is essentially indestructible, with a total of 999,150 hit points, and uses a different texture. There is also a silenced version used by the player when they first start the simulation. A separate item with the same appearance, but normal condition exists under the name 10mm alloy steel pistol, likely intended to be available to the player for use in normal gameplay outside the simulation. However, it was never placed anywhere in the addon.
