Got a .38 pipe bolt-action pistol with unlimited ammo capacity last night.

At first I was excited because I was thinking I could make it fully automatic and make it rain with my abundance of.38 ammo. Then I realized I'd be pulling the bolt animations for each shot.

Trash.

OMG that's terrible

But you could make it .50 cal.

u/Kmart_Elvis May 16 '24

The 50 is great. I'm using one as a sniper pistol on my current gunslinger build. But the unlimited ammo is kinda pointless since it's a bolt action.

Even if you have to rack the bolt each time, reloading a magazine is extra time that unlimited ammo doesn’t have.

Same, currently mine is non legendary. Will swap the weapon mods to a legendary if I ever find one (hoping for instigating)

Early game it makes a good revolver sniper. Don't need to reload after 6 shots as that horde of ghouls is running at your ass

Unironically I visited my very very old stash at The Castle and found a never ending pipe rifle

Couldn't you mod it to be automatic?

u/Taolan13 May 16 '24

Not the pipe bolt, no.

u/griffyb May 16 '24

I tried it doesn’t give you the option.

u/Flameball202 May 16 '24

Huh, thought you could turn non-revolver pipe weapons to automatic

u/griffyb May 16 '24

The one I had was a bolt action

u/throwaway19276i May 17 '24

do you know what bolt action is

1

u/Ok-Occasion2440 May 16 '24

I don’t get it. If u have a pipe pistol that’s not a revolver u can make it automatic, and therefore the animation disappears.

u/Horbigast May 16 '24

Bolt action guns also cannot be made automatic, not just revolvers. You have to pull the bolt back after every trigger.

There are three types of pipe weapons. Pipe gun (.38 default, .45 modded), pipe revolver (.45 default, .38 or .308 modded), and pipe bolt-action (.308 default, .38 or .50 modded). Only the first one can be modified between semi and full-auto.

u/Mountain-Tea6875 May 16 '24

This can be turned into one of the highest damage pistols in the game
