Sawed-Off Shotgun (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Sawed-off shotgun is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
It has almost the exact same characteristics of that of the Sawed-off shotgun of Fallout 3, except that this one can only be fired once before it has to be reloaded (using two shot shells at once when firing).

Each shot delivers 14 pellets (instead of the typical 7), and while its DPS is low -- it inflicts good burst damage at close range, making for powerful sneak attacks and it seems to be a much more expensive and rarer weapon than it is in fallout 3.

Variants

 * Big Boomer

Locations
The sawed-off shotgun is carried by the bartenders at the Tops Casino in the restaurant and theater (if there are any other bartenders in the casino). It can also be found at the end of the They Went That-a-Way quest. The leader of the Great Khan group holding out in boulder city carries it.

In the Atomic Wrangler, there is a gun case in the back room behind the bar. You can find two sawed-off shotguns, as well as some shotgun shells. Stealing these will only result in a minimal karma loss.

This weapon, like all other conventional firearms, can be purchased in perfect condition at Gun Runners.
