The pipe pistol is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Background

A crude, makeshift weapon manufactured by less than talented smiths after the Great War. They were first developed in the ganglands of Detroit, Michigan.

Characteristics

The pipe pistol is a very flexible weapon, despite its crude appearance. These makeshift semi-automatic pistols have a plethora of modifications available and can be extensively customized to suit any individual. They are also commonly found in modified versions in the wasteland, allowing for quickly creating a good weapon – a game breaker even – in early game.

The .38 receiver can be adapted to fire .45 ammunition, providing a .45 semi-auto. This may be advantageous in comparison with the .45 pipe revolver. This modification is unfortunately because it is in place of other receiver modifications, rather than in addition to. Thus, it doesn't allow for a .45 auto, and unlike the revolver, the damage per shot cannot be improved.

Crafting

With the Contraptions Workshop add-on, "pipe guns" can be manufactured using a weapon forge.
