The Kneecapper is a unique Sawed-Off Shotgun, featuring increased damage and tighter spread.

Location

 * It can be obtained from Ronald Laren from Girdershade.

Obtaining the gun from Ronald Laren

 * Attack him with a weak weapon (so that you don't kill him), then shoot the gun from his hands. Put the weapon away and he will stop attacking you, then simply take the gun. If he picks up the gun instead of stopping, keep shooting it out of his hands until it breaks. Take the gun, then leave and stay away for 3 days. He will be friendly again.
 * Using the Mister Sandman perk allows you to kill Ronald while he is sleeping and, Sierra Petrovita doesn't notice he's dead. This method does not affect karma.
 * Or, shoot the gun off his waist turns him hostile (break the gun grab it and leave). Note: Do not kill Ronald; if you leave the area he will become friendly again.
 * If you have the Black Widow perk, you can trick him into going to the Nuka-Cola Factory for you where he will die upon entry. Then, you can take it from his body.
 * Pickpocket the shotgun ammo from Ronald. Then, fast travel away and return to Girdershade. The Kneecapper will then be in his inventory.
 * And then you could, if you have a follower or two, slightly hurt him with a weak weapon so he will turn hostile, and then let your followers do the job. This won't earn you evil karma.
 * picked from pocket while he sleeping

Behind the scenes

 * The Kneecapper takes its name from the act of "Kneecapping" someone, which is shooting them in the kneecaps to cripple their legs.
