Lead (Fallout: New Vegas)

Lead is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Lead is a component used to make all types of conventional ammunition except for 12 gauge coin shot, which requires Legion Denarius instead. Lead may be obtained by disassembling ammunition or converting scrap metal at a reloading bench, with different rounds yielding differing amounts of lead; one piece of scrap metal yields 200 lead.

Locations

 * Bought from merchants around the Mojave Wasteland.
 * Crafted from scrap metal.
 * Deconstructing any caliber of ammo will result in varying amounts of lead depending on the caliber deconstructed.
 * In Old World Blues, once Book Chute is upgraded to take pencils, he will make a very small amount of lead for the player.
