Players in Fallout 4 can experiment and customize a variety of weaponry to suit their own needs. Players will encounter pistols more frequently than any other sort of weaponry while navigating the nuclear wasteland, along with rifles. They also originate from a variety of game sources, such as the Creation Club, the base game, and expansions that were published years after the initial release.

Pistols will be an early-game irritation for certain Fallout 4 players, although they can be fixed after other weapon types are discovered. For some, however, handguns will be an essential part of their loadout for the duration of the game. The likelihood of success in combat will increase significantly if players know which pistols to target, regardless of whether they fit into one of these categories or something else entirely.

Sixth position on our list is taken by Pipe Gun.

  • Fire Rate: 55
  • Magazine Size: 12
  • Damage: 13

Although it ranks last on this list, the Pipe Gun is first among related pistol types. The pipe gun's fast rate of fire and larger magazine capacity allow it to deliver more damage in shorter bursts than the pipe revolver or pipe bolt action. This will be especially helpful in the beginning because the opponents will be weaker and won't require very good aim to overcome. 

Although Arturo Rodriguez in Diamond City sells a quiet version, scavengers, settlers, and raiders can also readily locate this weapon in the wastelands. It is a good choice in the beginning, but as players advance, it must be phased out. Once used for scrap, it is best because of its low credit worth.

10mm Pistol occupies the fifth position on our list.

  • Magazine Size: 12 
  • Fire Rate: 46
  • Damage: 18

The 10mm pistol, which is the first weapon players will find in Vault 111 while trying to escape, was created before the apocalyptic nuclear war. It is the preferred handgun for early gameplay and provides respectable damage along with excellent accuracy and range, making it a suitable alternative to a rifle.

Given that there are two of these weapons in Vault 111's overseer's office, it is difficult to miss them. In the event that players failed to locate the weapon here, it is also present in the wild. Most notably, in Sanctuary Hills, the former house of the lone survivor. It's recommended to tweak this weapon sparingly, however adding a long barrel—as opposed to a short one—is a good idea.

Fourth position on our list is reserved by Kellogg's Pistol

  • Magazine Size: 6
  • Damage: 48
  • Fire Rate: 6

You can find this special weapon in Fallout 4. For those who are precise, it causes a lot of damage. It also has a very long range and great accuracy. It is a special weapon with additional legendary effects. With every critical hit, this weapon's Relentless effect replenishes action points. Players must finish the main mission, Reunions, in order to obtain this weapon, which can then be looted from a defeated foe at Fort Hagen.

Third position on our list is taken by Wastelander's Friend

  • Magazine Size: 24
  • Damage: 18
  • Fire Rate: 46

This pistol depends more on appropriate run-and-gun techniques than it does on accuracy and precision. It can deal a great deal of damage without the need for players to reload or be very accurate because it has the largest magazine size of any pistol and a good rate of fire. However, since this weapon has the legendary effect of Crippling, it is worth being precise. 

This effect increases damage dealt to limbs by 50%, making it possible to target specific body regions more effectively. Fallout 4 players can purchase this weapon from the Deb trader in Bunker Hill, where they should go to obtain it.

Second position on our list is well taken by Western Revolver

  • Magazine Size: 6
  • Damage: 60
  • Fire Rate: 6

The Nuka-World expansion pack for Fallout 4 included this weapon. No other handgun can match the kick that the Western Revolver delivers, despite being a common and unoriginal weapon. It deals 105 damage every shot when equipped with an upgraded receiver. This weapon is given to players as part of the High Noon at the Gulch side mission, or they can be found for free on Terry Tanaka's body in the Minecart Coaster at the Amusement Park. To begin, players can talk to the sheriff at Dry Rock Gulch.

Deliverer occupies the first position on our list

  • Magazine Size: 12
  • Damage: 25
  • Fire Rate: 66

The Deliverer, by far the greatest pipeline available in Fallout 4, lets players inflict a lot of damage quietly and without sacrificing any other gameplay elements. It has good damage and a very high fire rate. With a powerful receiver, this damage can be boosted by 12, with the only drawback being a larger weight. For many players, its integrated suppressor will be a big selling factor as well. 

In addition, the weapon has improved odds when utilizing V.A.T.S. and costs 25% less action points thanks to the V.A.T.S. Enhanced effect. Luckily, obtaining it is similarly simple. To obtain this as a reward, players only need to finish Tradecraft, the game's main mission.
