Lever-Action Shotgun

The lever-action shotgun is a weapon

Characteristics
Adding to the variety of shotguns found in Fallout: New Vegas, this shotgun has a lever-action (similar to the cowboy repeater) and fires a 20 gauge shotgun shell. It has the highest damage-per-second of all 20-gauge shotguns. The only real disadvantages to the lever-action are the ammunition capacity and the fact that it must be single-loaded instead of feeding from a detachable magazine.

The gun can be interrupted mid-way through reloading and fired immediately if needed. It can cause the knockback effect.The lever-action shotgun has the distinction of being the only weapon boosted by both the Cowboy and Shotgun Surgeon perks.

Durability
The lever-action shotgun can fire a total of about 495 standard shells, the equivalent of 99 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Bugs
The reload animation of lever action weapons doesn't have a corresponding jam animation, so the weapon will not jam, even at near-breaking conditions.
