Your favorite (obscure) weapon from Fallout?

I love That Gun for the Blade Runner reference. Also, it's a pretty powerful pistol early on in New Vegas.
What's your favorite weapon from the Fallout series?
The Fallout 1 Red Ryder LE BB gun can be devastating with the right character build. Super low action points to use, and the ammo weighs almost nothing. With a high luck sniper build character, it can fire up to 3 times per turn, inflicting multiple critical hits.
It’s only available by getting a particular special encounter, which makes it feel pretty special.
I proudly killed the Master with it.
The New Vegas ‘That Gun’ isn’t even the first Blade Runner gun in Fallout. The first two games had the .223 pistol, which was pretty good for the midgame. The ‘That Gun’ is a double reference both to Blade Runner and the old games.

Never knew, makes total sense. TIL!
I actually forgot until I just looked it up that the Fallout 1 handgun is actually unique in the game. There’s only one available, gotten by way of a specific side quest. Which is neat.
It shares ammunition with the early game hunting rifle, but offers almost double the damage, making a good way to put early game ammo to use.
Only in America!
