Shrapnel runs the Flak 'N Shrapnel's weapons store in the Rivet City Market in Fallout 3.
Background[edit]

Publications[edit]
“Shrapnel, 50, is grizzled and rough around the edges, but he has long since left his Raider days behind. He spends his days in the store with Flak, selling merchandise. He gets along with Flak because they share a fascination with guns. However, he's usually rude and insulting to everyone else. At Flak's request, he tries hard to not be rude when he's behind the counter of the shop, but he's finding it difficult.”— Fallout 3 Official Game Guide/Wasteland Census

Quotes[edit]
- "Don't know you, don't care. Keep it short."

- "Said like a soon-to-be-dead Wastelander."
Appearances[edit]
Shrapnel appears in Fallout 3.
Bugs[edit]
After Flak is enslaved, Shrapnel will wander out of Rivet City and may be encountered in various locations. Shrapnel travels to Paradise Falls from Rivet City to the slave pens, and then back. If Flak is freed from the collar or killed, he will return to Rivet City. When found, he will speak as if he is still in Rivet City, and he will still sell items from his shop.- A message may appear that Shrapnel is unconscious, even when the player is not in Rivet City.
