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. Its iron sights are in a circular shape, called a peep sight.

The Cowboy perk is very useful when using the repeater as it increases the weapons damage by 25%, making the gun a very damaging long range weapon.

Locations

 * Sometimes a Jackal gang member may carry one.


 * 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, fiends may carry one, whose drop rate increases when the player reaches higher level.

Mods

 * Cby. Rep. Maple Stock (decreases weight from 5 to 3.5)
 * Cby. Rep. Long Tube (increases ammo clip size by 4 rounds, from 7 to 11)
 * Cby. Rep. Custom Action (increases rate of fire)

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 the rifle, there is a short period where the player becomes locked from firing, typically only for a period of 2-4 seconds. All other actions are still available. This only appears to happen during combat, not when roaming around. This can also happen if you enter VATS shortly after reloading, and results in your character standing immobile until their AP is depleted.
 * Sometimes your weapon will disappear until you move, where it will come down from the top of the screen.
