The Kneecapper

The Kneecapper is a unique sawed-off shotgun in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The Kneecapper deals much more damage and is significantly more accurate than the regular sawed-off. It is not as accurate as the combat shotgun, but deals more damage per shot, though it must be reloaded six times as often because it only holds 2 shells. The Kneecapper deals damage through raw power alone, since it does not deal any critical hit damage.

Durability
The Kneecapper can fire a total of about 111 shots, the equivalent of 56 reloads, from full condition before breaking. This is 56 fewer shots than the common sawed off shotgun.

Variants

 * Sawed-off shotgun

Location

 * It can be obtained from Ronald Laren who lives in Girdershade.

Behind the scenes

 * The Kneecapper takes its name from the act of "kneecapping" someone, which is shooting them in the kneecaps to cripple their legs.
 * The Kneecapper could be a reference to the movie Once upon a time in Mexico, where Antonio Banderas character cripples the main antagonist with two kneeshots by a sawn-off shotgun in the films climax.
