Blackhawk

This is a special scoped .44 Magnum. Blackhawk is received from Agatha in the "Agatha's Song" quest in return for the Sheet Music book. You must ask for a reward. There is a higher chance of the weapon being in good condition if you speak politely to Agatha throughout the quest. It can be repaired with regular scoped .44 Magnums. It has a very high accuracy, with only 0.3 spread. Because it is scoped, you can use it outside V.A.T.S. for sniping. It has a base damage of 55 and a 45 point critical bonus and can decapitate many enemies with a headshot.

Colonel Autumn's 10mm Pistol

This is a unique pistol that does twice as much damage as the standard variety. It can be repaired using standard 10mm pistols. It is obtained from Colonel Autumn's body at 100% condition the Jefferson Memorial rotunda during the "Waters Of Life" quest.

Dart Gun

Created by WesCollieyote.

The first part of the schematic for the Dart Gun are found at the MDPL-05 Power Station on the northwest tip of the Capital Wasteland. Another part is obtained from Hannibal Hamlin after completing the Lincoln Memorial quest for the slaves. The last schematic is found in a locked chest at the Boutique Le Chic in Tenpenny Tower. Parts required are a toy car, surgical tubing, paint gun, and Radscorpion poison gland. The Dart Gun cripples your target's legs. It is very useful when used on fast melee opponents such as Deathclaws. It also poisons your target for eight seconds.

The Kneecapper

This is a unique shotgun. Kill Ronald in Girdershade to obtain it.

Lincoln's Repeater

This is a special hunting rifle. It is located, in perfect condition, inside of a display case in the top floor of the Museum of American History offices. It can be repaired using regular Hunting Rifles, but uses .44 Magnum ammo instead of the regular .32. It is also very accurate, with a 0.00 spread. Its damage is 50.

Ol' Painless

When you first arrive at the front gate, there will be a child that will take you to Dave. After you finish talking to Dave, kill him. Take his key and use it to open the safe that is next to him. In the safe will be a hunting rifle named Ol' Painless. It does 21 damage, but is better than the sniper rifle. It is a lot easier to repair and find ammo for.

Reservist's Rifle

This weapon can be found in an abandoned church during the "Drifter" quest.

Sydney's 10mm "Ultra" SMG

• After starting the "Stealing Independence" quest, go to the National Archives. Sydney will be close to the entrance with the gun. Kill her to obtain it.
  

• You can also get Sydney's 10mm Ultra SMG without killing her. While doing the "Reilly's Rangers" mission, you must go to the Statesman Hotel to link up with the Rangers. In one of the floors near the top before getting to the Restaurant part of the Hotel, you will find several hotel rooms. In one of the rooms, you will randomly find a note on a bed about Little Moonbeam. If you listen to it, it will be of a man's recording asking his daughter's forgiveness for abandoning her. This is Sydney's dad. After you complete the "Stealing Independence" quest and collect your reward, talk to her afterward and ask about her dad. She will tell you that he left her when she was young. You will then have the option of telling her about the note you recovered. She will listen to it and will give you her gun as thanks. She will then be in Underworld at the Cafe selling ammunition after that.
  

Terrible Shotgun

This is a special combat shotgun. It is in the possession of Smiling Jack at the Evergreen Mills Bazaar. To obtain it you must kill him, shoot it out of his grip and pick it up before he does, or break it in V.A.T.S. so that he puts it into his inventory. If you use the third method, put your weapon away immediately or Jack will attack you. It is important to note that the Terrible Shotgun has much more spread than any other shotgun. It is to be used as a close-combat weapon only because it is wildly inaccurate. It can be repaired with regular combat shotguns, but degrades very quickly. Its damage is 80.

Xuanlong Assault Rifle

Created by ablestmage.

• This is a special Chinese assault rifle. It is found on on Prime's body in the diner near the Jury Street Metro Station. However, for Prime's body to be present you must complete the computer puzzle in the Museum of Technology. This is an unmarked quest, also known as Jiggs' Loot. It can be repaired with regular Chinese assault rifles. Its damage is 64.
  
• To get the Chinese assault rifle very easily, go to Megaton immediately after leaving the Vault. When you first arrive you will meet the sheriff. Talk to him about the bomb and tell him that you want to disarm it. He will agree and you can go off to the saloon. Find Mr. Burke. He will ask you to rig the bomb to explode. Tell him "No", then tell the sheriff about Burke. Say that he might get someone else to rig the bomb, so the sheriff will go after him. Follow him and when you get to Burke he will shoot the sheriff with a silenced 10mm pistol. You can then let Burke leave or you can kill him with no penalties. You can even talk to him and still blow up the bomb. You can now search the sheriff legally and take his rifle, duster and hat, as well as a key to the armory (but watch out for the robot guarding it inside).
  

Zhu-Rong v418

The Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese Pistol is a unique experimental weapon found in the L.O.B. enterprises building in Falls Church East in the D.C. ruins, on the west side of the Potomac. Fight your way through all of the bots in the building on your way to the uppermost level. Enter the CEO's office on that level. It is the one with the very hard lock door on it, and a second door that is unlocked on the side. Search the CEO's desk for the key to the locked suitcase that is upon that desk. Inside is the prototype of the weapon. A humorous account of the weapon's problems through the research and development of the gun can be found in a document across the hall in a computer that requires you to have 100 Science skill to hack. The design flaw shows up in the fact that the weapon has increased damage over other Chinese pistols, but causes the user damage identical to using a Flamer or Shishkebab.
