Pipe revolver pistol is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Background[]

Like other pipe pistols, pipe revolvers are crude, makeshift weapons manufactured by resourceful smiths even before the Great War. Revolvers are known to have been crafted in gangland Detroit.[1]

Characteristics[]

A more powerful alternative to standard pipe pistols, the revolver is not semi-automatic, but packs a larger punch; of course there are plenty of mods available to further increase its versatility. It holds six rounds and being a revolver, it does not have magazine mods.

By default, the revolver fires .45 rounds, which are objectively more rare than the pipe pistol's default .38 round. Still, the revolver's receiver can be adapted to fire .38 or .308 ammunition, resulting in a .38 revolver or a .308 revolver. For pistol users, a .308 revolver is much more useful than the bolt-action pipe pistol, and does more damage per shot to boot.

Notes[]

  • It is impossible for this weapon to fire fast enough to make use of the finned barrel's zero spread increase per shot (a.k.a. "bloom"). After firing, the shot dispersion indicator fully returns to normal before the revolver can be readied for another shot.
