Now things start to get interesting. In this category there are some very good weapons, even near the end of the game. You start out with the 10mm Pistol, and you have very quick access to a Hunting Rifle, Desert Eagle .44 and a 10mm SMG. These are all good weapons, but things really get interesting when you can get your hands on the .223 Pistol or a Combat Shotgun. A Combat Shotgun can stop a Super Mutant dead in it's track with 1 burst attack, and the .223 Pistol is quite good against robots, small animals and raiders you encounter all the time.
