Cowboy Repeater

The cowboy repeater is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
It can fire large-caliber .357 magnum rounds, penetrating the damage threshold of lightly-armored enemies at great range. It's iron sights are in a circular shape. This rifle resembles a Winchester model repeater from the 1890's.

Locations
Legion soldiers, such as the ones seen at Camp Nelson, may be armed with the repeater. Two can be found in Primm in the sheriff's house; one right below the reloading bench and one under the bed. A repeater can also be found in the highway patrol station along with other loot on a dead prospectors body in the holding cell. A dead prospector has one in her possession in the Town Hall Assembly Floor in Nipton Hall. On the pedestrian bridge spanning the road between Novac and the REPCONN Test Site (what looks to have been the first checkpoint), one can be found leaning against the shelving (on the left when looking towards Novac). On random encounters, fiend may carry one, whose drop rate increases when the player reaches higher level.

Mods

Variants
The La Longue Carabine is a unique variant of the Cowboy repeater.

Bugs

 * When reloading in third person, just after you reload the last round, you don't cock the lever on the rifle. This is fixed by simply shooting off a round.
 * After reloading this is a short period where the player may not perform any actions
 * Sometimes your weapon will disappear until you move, where it will come down from the top of the screen.
 * An inventory bug has made repairing a modded Cowboy Repeater a real pain. (Please confirm that the following bug doesn't also occur with unmodded Cowboy Repeaters).  For about 240 caps I buy a Cowboy Repeater (condition about 50%) from a vendor, intending to use it to repair my modded CR.  If I attempt to buy this gun while carrying the modded CR in my inventory, the bought gun disappears completely, never making it into inventory.  SOLUTION: Before buying the new gun, drop the modded gun on the floor.  Buy the new gun, but notice that as it now lives in your inventory, it has (fortunately) become fully repaired!  Fire off a couple of rounds with it to drop its condition below 100%, then drop the gun on the floor.  Finally, pick up the modded CR, then pick up the bought one.  At long last, both will be visible in the inventory where you'll be able to repair the modded Cowboy Repeater!
