Bozar (Fallout 2)

The  is a big gun in Fallout 2.

Characteristics
The Bozar and the Light support weapon are the only two big guns in the game to use .223 FMJ ammunition, which is a great advantage since this type of ammunition is very common. In addition to using the same ammunition they also fill the same burst-fire-only role, so one would be used instead of the other. The difference between the two is that the Bozar is more powerful but, as a drawback, uses more ammunition per burst. So the Bozar is more effective for larger, more armored opponents, while the light support weapon would lack the overkill the Bozar would provide on weaker enemies in order to save ammunition.

It is one of the more powerful weapons in the game because it does not seem to be affected by damage resistance that much - it is useful even against highly armored opponents such as Enclave soldiers. It can be acquired very early; simply travel to NCR as soon as you can after starting the game, and pickpocket one off one of the guards next to Buster's tent. An alternative method is to go into the New Reno Arms basement, and take the Electronic lock pick from a well hidden fridge against the wall on the top left side of the basement map, and opening the entrance to the armory in the Toxic Caves near Klamath.

This way, you can avoid the initial phase of using small guns, and not waste any skill points on them.

Locations

 * The Bozar can be found in the Toxic Caves, north of Klamath.
 * Guards standing outside Buster's shop also have the Bozar in their inventory which can be pick-pocketed.
 * Eldridge in Reno will also occasionally stock it, for Made Men only. Neither Red 888 Guns, nor Flying Dragon 8 will stock the Bozar, oddly.

Behind the scenes

 * The Bozar may have been re-purposed during the game's development: it behaves like a minigun, but is modeled after the Barret M82 .50 caliber anti-materiel rifle. In fact, the in-game description even implies that the weapon is supposed to be a sniper rifle rather than an automatic (and inaccurate) heavy support weapon.
 * Both the .223 pistol and the Bozar were planned to be included in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky as easter eggs, and both weapons remain partially implemented in the game's resources.
