Combat Shotgun (Fallout 3)

The Drum-Magazine Combat Shotgun is a common Fallout 3 weapon.

Unique Versions

 * Charon's Shotgun is used by Charon and is only accessible to the PC through the console.

Trivia

 * Judging by its look, this shotgun's appearance was likely inspired by the Russian PPSh-41. The overall appearance, fire selector switch located inside the trigger guard, and the barrel's protruding muzzle-brake and the drum magazine are all similarities. The way the reloading procedure is operated also points to the real PPSh-41. The obvious difference (besides the location of the drum magazine, which is further down the barrel) is that the PPSh-41 was a submachine gun (loaded with 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridges and a 71-round magazine).


 * Functionally however the Combat Shotgun is is very similar to the USAS-12 Automatic Shotgun.
