Combat Shotgun (Fallout 3)

The Drum-Magazine Combat Shotgun is a common Fallout 3 weapon.

Characteristics
The weapon appears to be functionally identical to its predecessors while its design has changed significantly (see Trivia section). The unique form of this gun is The Terrible Shotgun.

Companions
Charon wields a unique NPC-only shotgun that does not deteriorate, has infinite ammo, and very little spread. Because of its low spread, Charon is capable of "sniping" with the shotgun.

Trivia

 * Judging by its look, this shotgun's appearance was likely inspired by the Russian PPSh-41. The overall appearance, fire selector switch located inside the trigger guard, and the barrel's protruding muzzle-brake and the drum magazine are all similarities. The way the reloading procedure is operated also points to the real PPSh-41. The obvious difference is that the PPSh-41 was a submachine gun (loaded with 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridges and a 71-round magazine).


 * It could also be a reference to the Armsel Striker shotgun if you look here
