The Pipe Rifle is a low-level Small Arm, strangely, it is harder to obtain than the 10mm Pistol.

Uses

The Pipe Rifle is useful for low-level snipers, who have the trait Finesse, and can't afford Hunting Rifles, Sniper Rifles and .223 FMJ. Pipe RIfles have medium range (20 hex range.). It uses [[10mm JHP] and 10mm AP, and each maganzine has only holds 1 bullet, therefore, you will have to reload every time it is shot. It is not a smart idea to bring it in a PvP battle, it won't pierce your opponent's armor. It is very great agianst low-level NPCs such as:

• Radscorpions.
• Brahmins.
• Rats.
• Little Geckos.
• Maybe some low level Raiders (Near NCR).
• Mantis in small numbers.
• Pigrats.
• Dogs.

Obtaining

• Purchase one off a Merchant.
• Completing the Give some beers to Aldo quest.
• Kill off players or NPCs.

The following NPCs use Pipe Rifles:

• Vault 15 Squatters
• Powder Gangs
• Claim Jumper
