My cowboy obviously took too much radscorpion venom to the brain.

So, like many of you, I started up a six gun and mustachio VATS cowboy build, big iron on the hip, all that song and dance. I got a .357 revolver and eventually got Lucky once I hit Primm. Things were going smoothly enough until I got jumped by a band of legion assassins on the Nipton back road. I pulled out the old barker and aimed at the dog hat of the lead guy, fired five shots, all of them sailed about four feet over his head, with the camera even giving me the kill-cam in time to watch my bullet seriously menace a cloud texture.

In shock, I ducked behind a rock, checked all my stats and reloaded. Attempting a manual aim, the gun fired, kicked AND THEN the bullet came spouting out of the end. They closed the distance and nipple crippled me to death. The same thing kept happening until I switched to That Gun in Novac.

Things went smoothly until I got a 44 Magnum. I approached a deathclaw on the Vault 19 road. With my trusty handcannon, I took aim at the 12 foot tall mutant and all three rounds somehow sailed way over the beasts head. The monster was so close that the third round basically went straight up, like I was starting a foot race.

This seems to happen with all 357 and 44 revolvers, albeit irregularly- anyone else noticed this?
