H&K CAWS

H&K CAWS is a Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics small gun.

The CAWS, short for Close Assault Weapons System, shotgun is a useful tool for close-range combat. The bullpup layout gives the weapon a short, easily handleable length while still retaining enough barrel length for its high velocity shells.

Fallout 2
Superior version of the Combat shotgun, but also a fair bit more expensive. Longer range and more shells per burst, but smaller magazine capacity.
