12.7mm pistol

The SIG-Sauer 12.7mm pistol is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A Tier 4 pistol with extreme firepower, the 12.7mm pistol is the deadliest sidearm available in the game, with the best base damage in Fallout: New Vegas. With Honest Hearts, it takes second place, right after A Light Shining in Darkness.

To balance its firepower, it requires Guns 75 and Strength 7 in order to properly operate. Furthermore, it has poor weapon spread: The highest of all pistols in the game.
