Didn't notice that anyone answered this question, so I'll hop in.
Every weapon in Fallout has a minimum strength requirement (MSR later on) which you have to be aware of if you want to be efficient in combat. You CAN wield a weapon which MSR is larger than your current ST, but your combat efficiency will not be very good and it will get worse as the difference between your ST and the weapon's MSR increases. There are ways to increase your strength, though. This can be achieved in several ways. First, there's the Power Armor which boosts your ST by 3, then there's the operation which can raise your ST by 1, and, AFAIK, some drugs (like Buffout) can temporarily increase your ST.
So, to make things short (
), yes, you should be able to wield most small guns (and small energy weapons) effectively.
BTW, the MSR got totally screwed in Fallout Tactics because if your ST is lower than the weapon's MSR, you won't be able to wield that weapon at all.
