Fallout 4 is a post-apocalyptic role-playing game set in an alternate future with a campy, tongue in cheek retro style. In anticipation of Fallout 76, we’ve been comparing the guns featured in Fallout 4 to real world guns but today, we aren’t going to look at just one gun. Rather, we’re going to talk about the most common class of gun in the game: the pipe gun.

In Fallout 4, various pipe guns are found scattered around the wasteland. It makes sense that the descendants of the survivors of a nuclear holocaust would have a lot of old, broken guns that have been refurbished and guns made entirely from scrounged parts. The pipe guns fit with the dingy, deteriorated, and discarded feel of the Fallout universe. If you’re not familiar with the game series, just picture Mad Max with a 50’s kind of Tomorrowland vibe and you’ll be pretty close. In that setting, the pipe guns feel right at home.
They are available in several calibers and, like other guns in the game, can be extensively modified, perhaps to an even greater extent than the other guns, given that they can be made into a pistol or rifle version and can also be converted to other calibers. There are automatic pistols, revolvers, sub machine guns, and even sniper rifles.
They look rough, and they are extremely common. Yet somehow, they remain relevant throughout most of the game because, as you unlock new perks, the customizations those perks allow make these pipe guns even more effective. Plus, they represent a good way to use up the ubiquitous .38 ammo found everywhere in the game. Although you might tend to use more powerful guns for the leveled-up humans, super mutants, robots, and other enemies, a lot of players like to keep something handy to dispatch the numerous rad roaches and mirelurk spawn without wasting better ammo.
It makes sense that a homemade pipe gun would be chambered in the low pressure and relatively common .45 Auto and .38 Special cartridges. But it is odd that the pipe revolver is chambered for the rimless .45 Auto by default and the automatic and semi auto pipe guns are chambered in .38 by default. .45 Auto is a rimless cartridge, which means the brass at the very base of the cartridge case does not extend past the wall of the case. The rim of a .38 Special would make feeding a challenging problem for self-loading guns. And revolvers are normally chambered for rimmed cartridges to make extraction easier.
