Can I get Maria if I crucify Benny?

No, you cannot get the unique pistol Maria if you choose to have Benny crucified in Fallout: New Vegas; the gun becomes unobtainable because you must kill Benny (or pickpocket it from him) during the "Ring-a-Ding-Ding!" or "Render Unto Caesar" missions to get it, and crucifying him locks you out of looting him for it. You can, however, get Maria by disarming and looting Benny at the Tops or by getting it from his body at the Fort before the Legion crucifies him, or by pickpocketing it from him at the Tops and then getting another via looting.
