'''Fire ants''' are [[creatures]] living in the [[Capital Wasteland]] in [[Timeline#2277|2277]], and in the [[Mojave Wasteland]] in [[Timeline#2281|2281]]. They are a variation of [[giant ant]]s that have been genetically modified. Their name comes from their ability to breathe fire.

<section begin="Background" />
The [[10mm submachine gun (Fallout: New Vegas)|10mm SMG]] has a proud history in the wasteland, and this [[Gun Runners' Arsenal]] variant continues that tradition of excellence. Its integrated suppressor makes it accurate and deathly quiet. Other modifications boost damage and slightly raise the rate of fire, making this weapon a covert powerhouse. It has also been painted a sleek black color compared to its regular cousin.

The fire ants of the Capital Wasteland were created by a scientist named Doctor [[Weston Lesko|Lesko]]. The doctor was attempting to return giant ants to their normal size through genetic manipulation and accidentally created the fire ants. Dr. Lesko's ambition was to make the ants exponentially smaller through generations, meaning the offspring is born smaller than its parents for generations to come. But as he reasons, one small tweak of an error has left the ants with a completely different mutation. The fact that Lesko used [[Forced Evolutionary Virus|F.E.V.]] in his experiments in order to produce a quicker result may also help explain the "error." Lesko further explains in ''very'' technical terms that the ants breathe fire by expelling flammable venom from what was their venom sacks, then igniting it with a spark made by clicking their mandibles. He calls this process ''"pyrosis''."

It is not known how fire ants came to be in the Mojave Wasteland, but theories are that their ability to breathe fire has been developed in the same way as the similar ability of [[Gecko (Fallout: New Vegas)#Fire gecko|fire gecko]]s.<section end="Background" />
Sleepytyme is also considered an [[Holdout weapons#Improved Holdout Weapons|improved holdout weapon]], making it the only automatic holdout weapon.

Fire ants are creatures living in the Capital Wasteland in 2277, and in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. They are a variation of giant ants that have been genetically modified. Their name comes from their ability to breathe fire.

Background

The fire ants of the Capital Wasteland were created by a scientist named Doctor Lesko. The doctor was attempting to return giant ants to their normal size through genetic manipulation and accidentally created the fire ants. Dr. Lesko's ambition was to make the ants exponentially smaller through generations, meaning the offspring is born smaller than its parents for generations to come. But as he reasons, one small tweak of an error has left the ants with a completely different mutation. The fact that Lesko used F.E.V. in his experiments in order to produce a quicker result may also help explain the "error." Lesko further explains in very technical terms that the ants breathe fire by expelling flammable venom from what was their venom sacks, then igniting it with a spark made by clicking their mandibles. He calls this process "pyrosis."

It is not known how fire ants came to be in the Mojave Wasteland, but theories are that their ability to breathe fire has been developed in the same way as the similar ability of fire geckos.
