Combat shotgun (Fallout 4)

The combat shotgun is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
The combat shotgun by default utilizes an eight-round box magazine, but can be upgraded with a 12 round extended magazine or even a 32 round drum magazine. The weapon is semi-automatic, and being magazine fed it does well in clearing out rooms and ripping apart enemies at close range. Each shot fires 7 projectiles by default.

The combat shotgun can also be upgraded to be a fully automatic weapon, at the expense of reduced damage output on a shot per shot basis.

However, the weapon features rather heavy recoil, even when fully optimized with modifications for recoil control it still remains considerable, which can limit the weapon's ability to accurately make rapid follow up shots anywhere outside of point blank range. A legendary variant with the violent prefix takes the recoil to new extremes and even builds that maximize recoil control suffer from massive recoil but gain a hefty 25% boost both to overall damage and limb damage.

The combat shotgun and combat rifle share nearly identical models, with a few differences. This may make it confusing when clearing out a room of raiders or gunners with combat rifles and shotguns.

As indicated by the metal stamping on the weapons' bolt; the combat shotgun is chambered for 12 gauge shotgun shells.

Bugs

 * The damage of the explosive legendary variant of the combat shotgun is labeled wrong, while V.A.T.S. adds 15 damage to the total damage, the added damage is actually increased per pellet. (7 pellets*15=105 Base, 120 W/ Advanced Receiver. Leveling up the Demolition Expert perk increases the explosive damage independently from direct hit damage.)
 * As with other high volume-of-fire weapons, the weapon becomes ludicrously dangerous when paired with the "explosive" legendary effect. common enemies can't withstand this amount of firepower even at ranges where other shotguns would be useless, but users can inflict serious damage upon themselves by firing at point-blank targets.
