Big Boomer

The  is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It is a unique variant of the sawed-off shotgun.

Characteristics
Similar to the Double-barrelled shotgun from Point Lookout, It fires two shells with one pull of the trigger, consuming ammo twice as fast, but dealing significantly better damage in the process.The gun has its name written on the side of it.

Locations
The Big Boomer is carried by Old Lady Gibson, who resides in the Gibson Scrapyard. This gun can be found by killing Old Lady Gibson and looting it from her body.

Punch her to make her hostile and when she pulls the gun out, take out a fairly strong gun and shoot on her right arm, the gun should drop and if you holster your weapon she should go back to being friendly. Be careful not to kill any dogs or you will have to kill Old Lady Gibson.

Another way to get this weapon is to use the "Mike Tyson method". Get yourself some boxing gloves, or better yet the "Golden Gloves" and wait for her to go inside to sleep. The reason for this is because in the house you only have to worry about her one dog. Make sure that if you have companions you tell them to wait outside. While she is snoozing wake her up with a fist to the head (NO SNEAK ATTACK) and keep hitting her until she is "KO'd". By now her dog is popped a "!" on it's head and is rushing in to attack you. Knock the pooch out too, as by now Old Lady Gibson is probably getting up by now. This leaves a few seconds to use a Stealth boy to drop you status symbol down to hidden, and you can snag her "Big boomer" as her perception is no doubt messed up from the concussion you no doubt gave her. You only lose the karma from theft (minor) as opposed to killing her and her dogs (more than minor). Enjoy!
