Is this a bug or is it luck?
I sent out a lvl 7 dweller to explore the wasteland. I just picked up some resources and when I just started looking how it is actually going (~5 minutes later) it read something about "let's check the metal chest" and then I found a destabilizer. After a bit research I figured out that this pistol is one of the best weapons.
One point that made me a bit mistrustful is the point of the log when it happened. It says 00:-05.
So is it just a kind of glitch/bug I encountered or am I just a lucky guy that found while exploring the wastelands for 5 minutes the strongest non heavy weapon with a guy that just has a luck stat of 1?
Or the third option: Is getting legendary loot after a few minutes isn't that rare as I expected it?

Well there doesn't seem to be anyone reporting this bug, I looked on their entire support forum and then searched on their entire forum (Fallout Shelter) and no posts available: http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?app=core&module=search§ion=search&do=search&fromsearch=1
This can mean 2 things:
- The bug exists but no one reported it because they're enjoying too much the situation :)
- The bug doesn't exist and you were among that 0.000000001 chance of dropping a legendary item in the first 5 minutes. Almost like winning at the lottery without actually having the money :D
Kudos to you!

Answer 2
If it is a bug, the same thing more or less happened to me. I sent out 4 level 1 dwellers without any supplies since I didn't have any at the beginning of the game, forgot about it, opened up a day later to find them unsurprisingly all dead. 2 had died after ~70 minutes. The other 2 lasted 12 hours and had picked up a Fat Man and Focused Gatling Laser.
Since the other two dwellers died so early, I can only assume that the 2 lucky dwellers picked up the items early and the high level of the items allowed them to walk an additional 11 hours. I thought something was up to but there has been nothing out of the ordinary so far.
