The full make and model of the 10mm pistols in Fallout and Fallout 2 is "Colt 6520 10mm pistol".
Starting with Fallout 3 and moving forward into New Vegas, the 10mm pistol is referred to as the "N99 10mm pistol".

They both fulfill the role of being a relatively common pistol for the wasteland, with a simple, easy to produce and replicate design. This is however, effectively a retcon to prevent legal issues with Colt.

Attachment While Dogoo are an obvious reference to Slimes from Dragon Quest and the Giant Dogoo are an obvious reference to King Slimes, Red Dogoo have a slightly more interesting possible inspiration.

The Red Slimes, as they were known in Dragon Quest when the series was still being localized as Dragon Warrior, were made orange in Dragon Warrior VI, then renamed She-Slimes in Dragon Quest VIII alongside the franchise's localized name being changed.

This is most likely why Red Dogoo are pink and drop Orange Dogoo Jelly.

In the Artorias of the Abyss DLC, there is an NPC named "Marvelous Chester" in The Royal Woods. Like the chosen undead, Chester was pulled from his time period by Manus. Chester vaguely describes his era as Gothic/Victorian, his clothing also appears to be attire from the 19th century.

The character may have been included as a small hint as to what was coming up in Bloodborne.

In the credits, each of the game's voice actors have the surname "Jelinek". This is the reason why the game is notoriously known for its bad voice acting.
