Pfeifer-Zeliska!
Anyone else think this looks like the elusive .600 nitro express magnum Pfeifer-Zeliska, with a gold-plated hammer?
 * Firstly, I thought that was a purely Photoshopped idea.
 * Second, it says 'rifle' rounds. So, this'll be like a .223 pistol. Nitty Tok. 20:48, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, .600 technically counts as a rifle-calibre round. Albeit a really big fucking round. And what do you mean by "photoshopped?" The Pfeifer-Zeliska or the Ranger Sequoia?
 * It's based on the BFR and fires .45-70 Govt, as confirmed by Sawyer on the forums.--Resplendant Securitron 23:14, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * One could say it's a Deagle Brand Revolver.
 * But it's not, it's confirmed as based on the BFR, as stated above. And sign your posts Pratstercs 21:54, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Someone left a message on my talk page...
An anonymous user said this: "Seriously? I write an entire page on a new weapon complete with people, which doesn't get posted for a while (maybe because I am a new account), then you come along an write a new description based on the stuff I wrote and it gets submitted with your name attached" referring to this weapon.

I'm not sure what you're seeing, but from where I see, the page was created by StackOfHay; the only thing I did was edit the Characteristics section. I'm certainly not taking credit for the article, but articles aren't owned by anyone. -- 16:04, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

So if this is a unique version of the hunting revolver, will there only be one? or will there just be a few carried by only rangers? 70.179.38.132 00:19, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to what keeps me up at night, 70.179.38.132.--Resplendant Securitron 01:09, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Unique typically means only one. But the implication is that there's more than one, and when it comes down to it, "unique" is just a character string in the Editor ID. There's unique versions of every Merc outfit in Fallout 3, but they're not truly unique in any real sense since they're everywhere, named the same as the normal version, and have the same appearance and stats. This wiki doesn't consider them unique because it's clear that they're not meant to be one-of-a-kind. Only time will tell how this gun turns out. -- 04:19, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

That's interesting. That explains why sometimes I found merc outfits that didn't show up in the build lists of the others, I'd assume? Anyway, it's possible that this could be only "unique" in the sense that there's a finite amount of them, that there only say, 5 of them carried by the most Elite Rangers, who themselves are named NPCs. Something like that would make sense.--Resplendant Securitron 03:02, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

I'd say it sounds similar to a Fallout 3 weapon, Stabhappy, which was considered a semi-unique combat knife that re-spawned on the same raider every three days. So the Ranger Sequoia maybe either a semi-unique or just a rare variant of the Hunting Revolver or it maybe something along the lines of the Stab Happy knife. Draco122 10:21, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

It's a bit premature to think it's similar to Stabhappy; as I recall, that weapon was on a unique raider that was incorrectly set to repsawn, thus making it unique except for a bug. -- 15:55, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Right, similar to the bug that caused a raider to respawn with a big guns skill book- I don't think that they intended to have infinite skill books any more than infinite stabhappies. The Sequoia might be a different story though. In a way I think it would be a shame if you could get infinite Ranger Sequoias, because it's a very distinctive looking weapon- finely crafted, and having a pile of them cheapens it a bit.--Resplendant Securitron 00:12, September 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Do we know if this is indeed unique, apart from the bug where Hanlon carries two (one stolen, one from Return to Sender)? Pratstercs 16:59, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

YES!!!

is its location confirmed?

Location
How does anyone know where the location is? Links to confirmation?

Does anyone think the methods of obtainment in the location section are a little unnecessary? If every method and reprecussion was included it would be really long, Seems like saying Chief Hanlon and Veteran rangers carry it is more than enough, if people wanted to know more they could use the link to either of them.--Zombarian 05:09, November 5, 2010 (UTC)
