H&K CAWS (Fallout 2)

The H&K CAWS (Close Assault Weapons System) is a small gun in Fallout 2.

Characteristics
This is the superior version of the combat shotgun, but also a fair bit more expensive. It has a longer range and more shells per burst but at the cost of smaller magazine capacity. It does more damage per shot than the FN FAL, but deals less damage per burst. Additionally, it is a very lightweight weapon.

Locations

 * There are many locations this weapon can be found, but the earliest opportunity where one can acquire it is during a random encounter with a slaver outside Vault City.
 * A raider in Vault 15 also has this weapon.
 * It is used by some of the attackers during the quest Complete brahmin drive.
 * Toad Morton carries one of these weapons.

Behind the scenes
