Anti-Aircraft Gun

The howitzer is a world object in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Boomers acquired several of these guns from Area 2. They are used to protect Nellis Air Force Base from strangers near and far, as well as preventing anyone from effectively spying on the base. Caesar mentions that some of his scouts were shelled at extreme distances. Dale Barton salvaged a howitzer from a military base in Yuma, Arizona, and then sold it to Caesar's Legion. The Legion hopes to use it during the Second Battle of Hoover Dam for suppressing 1st Recon and NCR Veteran Ranger snipers, but need to replace the firing mechanism.

There is another howitzer in the wreckage of Hopeville Missile Base West, found near the marked men camp. The howitzer is part of the debris that makes up the barricade next to the mountain wall.

An anti-aircraft gun is positioned at the top of Hoover Dam. The gun can be rigged to explode or reprogrammed during the Caesar's Legion quest Arizona Killer to assassinate the NCR president, Aaron Kimball. At Big MT, fixed examples sit above on the X-7a "Left Field" artillery launch.
