You can get caps by selling junk from the waste lands to people in citys or if you find nuca cola machines all you need to do is take the cola and drink it

Don't worrie about buying guns s much
I have found all my guns by killing people and looting them for there guns
If you do this you will end up selling most of the guns you find and you will get caps that way and the side missions are great ways to get caps ....like there is a side mission in megaton for the guy that takes care of the water pipes if you help him fix the pipes he then offers to buy all the scrap metal you find for a nice amout of caps so get with it and do the missions
Good luck

It is easy to get caps with the lawbringer perk. You get a finger for each time you kill a raider and talon company merc. I got like 629 fingers and went the the regulator and the gave me 6290 caps for all the figers I turned in. Oh also with the lawbringer perk in the arlington house you will find junders plunker and you can get his finger and sell it for 1000 caps

I agree with RoyPhillips. There is another perk (an evil perk) like Lawbringer, called Contract Killer. For every good character you kill, you get an ear you can sell. However, the Lawbringer perk racks up more caps because there are far more evil characters to kill for fingers than there are good ones.

In the begining tag the skills: explosives, repair, and medicine. Upon leaving the Vault go to Megaton, and talk to Burke (spelling?) and try to get the 500 Cap bonus, if you should fail simply reload the auto-save from when you went into Moriarty's Saloon. That is 1,000 Caps for when you travel to Tenpenny Tower, more then what Simms would pay. . . Then talk to Moriarty, and ask about Dad. Say you don't have 100 Caps and he will send you to kill Silver, and Chem-dealer in Springvale. Go to her place, and ask her to give you all the Caps Moriarty gave her, it's a Speech Challenge so you may have to reload if she declines. After she gives you the 400 Caps, kill her. On her body will be 100 Caps meaning that she didn't give you all of it. Now go to the clinic in Megaton. Talk to Doc Church about people in town. Then either complete the speech challenge, or use your Medicine Skill to persuade him to tell you about Leo's addiction. Confront Leo, complete a speech challenge, and he will give you the key to his stash in the Water Treatment Plant. Grab it for the Caps, about 100, and the Chems for more Caps. While your there talk to Walter about helping out. He'll tell you about leaks in the pipes. Fix all 3 and he'll pay you 200 Caps. Now go to the Brass Lantern. Go left upon entering, and then right. A terminal is in this room. Hack it, very-easy hack, and unlock the floor safe. Inside is 300 Caps. Now you can go to Tenpenny Tower to blow up Megaton, and get your 1,000 Caps, as well as your new Suite. Now you can help out with the Ghoul problem, and earn another 750 Caps if you pass the speech challenge, as well as a Chinese Assault Rifle. You'll have accumulated a large sum of caps by this time.
Notes: Sorry if this is too late to help; and about the length of this answer
You should get the Strength Bobblehead in Lucas Simms house b4 blowing up Megaton.
You should probably help Moria Brown with at least Chapter 1 of the Wasteland Survival Guide, so that you can tell her that her idea isn't a good one, and earning the Dream Crusher Perk by completing the speech challenge.
And you should know that if you blow up Megaton, Moria Brown can be found outside Megaton, and is now a Ghoul. You can talk to her but you can only have her repair stuff, meaning that she can serve likef the average wasteland merchant.

The best way to get caps is to kill things, simply put. Early on, you've got to avoid bigger fights, and it's probably best to use melee weapons since your kill per bullet ratio is likely to be terribly low. Raiders especially should be your targets (there are tons of them north of Megaton on a bridge and in and around Super Duper Mart). Lure them around corners and go into VATS to avoid taking any damage. Combine a couple of suits of Raider armor and it should sell for 100+ caps per good conditioned suit. Of course, the guns and ammo they may have will help as well. Later in the game, Super Mutants around the Mall and Black Talons are all good prey. But especially when you start messing with a certain group.. Plasma Rifles will earn you 1000+ caps per for a good one. Of course, fixing pipes around Megaton is good too, as was mentioned above. You can also bring that guy any scrap metal you might find for some caps. Save up Nuka Cola Quantum, Pre-War Books, and Sugar Bombs as they are all involved in quests that net you caps and-more importantly-don't use up perks. It also helps if you pick up and sell everything that's not bolted down, if you're patient.
