I did get a crew of bounty hunters after me as I exited a metro station though. They were all like "waaah, you are evil and we won't stand for your kind in the wasteland"
and I was all like "Yeah?!? Well how do you like bounty hunting WITHOUT A FUCKING FACE MOTHERFUCKER!"

followed by a few well placed VATS headshots for him and his colleagues with the combat shottie. Man I love that thing.
I just recently discovered how awesome disarming opponents is. Those super mutants with the miniguns aren't so tough when they can't use their arms to hold their guns anymore.
That scoped .44 pistol is pretty fracking sweet too. I like it a lot though its a bitch to repair at vendors all the time.
Next stop: the national mall.
