PPK12 Gauss pistol (Fallout 2)

The PPK12 Gauss pistol is a small gun in Fallout 2.

Characteristics
This is one of the most useful pistols in the game. The ammo is armor piercing and does high damage. It also costs 1 fewer AP to fire than many other weapons, which means six shots every round with Fast Shot, Bonus Rate of Fire, ten action points and 2 Action Boy ranks. It's actually better than most burst-fire weapons since it is accurate. Unfortunately, its ammo capacity is rather low, and 2mm EC is somewhat uncommon. Being able to fire 6 shots per round could possibly mean killing 6 enemies (even Enclave soldiers with advanced power armor) in one round by having the Better Criticals and Sniper perk added to 10 Luck.

Locations

 * Melchior on the fourth level of the Mariposa Military Base guards a locker containing this weapon.
