Bozar (Fallout 2)

The  is a big gun in Fallout 2.

Characteristics
The Bozar and the Light support weapon are the only two big guns in the game to use .223 FMJ ammunition. In addition to using the same ammunition they also fill the same burst-fire-only role, so one would be used instead of the other. The difference between the two is that the Bozar is more powerful but, as a drawback, uses more ammunition per burst. So the Bozar is more effective for larger, more armored opponents, while the light support weapon would lack the overkill the Bozar would provide on weaker enemies in order to save ammunition.

Locations

 * The Bozar can be found in the Toxic Caves, north of Klamath.
 * Guards standing outside Buster's shop also have the Bozar in their inventory which can be pick-pocketed.
 * Eldridge in Reno will also occasionally stock it, for Made Men only. Neither Red 888 Guns, nor Flying Dragon 8 will stock the Bozar, oddly.

Bugs

 * The Bozar uses the "rotating barrels" firing noise, normally used by the minigun. Because the Bozar's model and picture have one barrel, this is inaccurate.

Behind the scenes

 * The Bozar may have been repurposed during the game's development: it behaves like a minigun, but is modelled after the Barret M82 .50 caliber anti-equipment rifle. In fact, the in-game description even implies that the weapon is supposed to be a sniper rifle rather than an automatic (and inaccurate) heavy support weapon.
 * Both the .223 pistol and the Bozar were planned to be included in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky as easter eggs, and both weapons remain partially implemented in the game's resources.
