The Kneecapper

The Kneecapper is a unique Sawed-Off Shotgun, featuring increased damage and tighter spread.

Location

 * It can be obtained from Ronald Laren from Girdershade.

Obtaining the gun from Ronald Laren

 * Pickpocket his shotgun ammo, shoot him once, holster your weapon and pickpocket The Kneecapper once he turns friendly again. Or leave the area and come back later, once he has unequipped it.
 * You can also simply pickpocket The Kneecapper while Ronald is sleeping, it will appear in his inventory as normal.
 * When talking Ronald into venturing for Quantums on his own (Black Widow Perk required) he usually dies on the way and his corpse can be looted near or in the Nuka-Cola Plant.
 * Attack him with a weak weapon (so that you don't kill him), then shoot the gun from his hands. Put the weapon away and he will stop attacking you, then simply take the gun.
 * Using the Mr. Sandman perk allows you to kill Ronald while he is sleeping and, as well as gaining good xp, Sierra Petrovita doesn't notice he's dead. This method does not induce a karma loss as the mister sandman perk does not affect karma
 * Cause a follower or creature to kill him.

Trivia
The Kneecapper may take its name as a reference to Once Upon A Time In Mexico, where the hero, El Mariachi, blows off the knees of his enemy with a single sawed-off shotgun blast. Also in the film Terminator 2 John Connor forbids the T-800 from killing anyone. He shoots the security guard at the entrance in the knee caps. No one else. This weapon might also be a reference to Mad Max, in which the protagonist was shot through the kneecap.
