Caravan Shotgun

The caravan shotgun is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The caravan shotgun is a short shotgun in which one barrel is mounted on top of the other. The iron sight is a screw which holds the action release lever to the receiver. It seems to be based on the real world Olympia shotgun. This weapon has a strength requirement of 3.

It can be a bit confusing when trying to aim with the iron sights, you have to put your target behind the screw that is somewhat blocking the players view, a little above the middle of the screw. There is four horizontal marks on the screw, you want to put your target behind the second mark from the top.

Because of that, and a large spread, it makes it very difficult to shoot slugs at a distance, better to only use buckshot for this gun.
