Combat Shotgun (Fallout 3)

The combat shotgun is a small gun in Fallout 3.

Background
This model of combat shotgun was deployed as a close assault fire team's primary weapon (supplemented with explosives, an N99 pistol, and a power fist) during the Anchorage Reclamation, and many working units have been scavenged by raiders, slavers, and Talon Company mercs in the Capital Wasteland.

Characteristics
Vastly superior to the sawed-off shotgun, the combat shotgun combines a large magazine with mutilating close-range damage. The only drawback is the weapon's poor reliability, as the combat shotgun deteriorates quickly. However, considering it is commonly used by human opponents, and its use in traps, you can usually find enough to keep at least one in fully working order.

Unlike the combat shotguns in previous Fallout games, the combat shotgun in Fallout 3 is not fully-automatic.

Durability
The combat shotgun can fire a total of about 145 rounds, the equivalent of 13 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * The Terrible Shotgun - Carried by the raider merchant Smiling Jack, The Terrible Shotgun deals an obscene amount of damage to targets, in exchange for a much wider spread. It's also slightly heavier.
 * Sim version (Operation: Anchorage add-on) - A sim-only version of the weapon which differs in health, having such a high rating as to be essentially non-degrading. It also has a cleaner, less battered appearance than the standard Fallout 3 version.

Locations

 * Rivet City- One is on display at Flak 'N Shrapnel's and can be bought or stolen.
 * Fairfax Ruins- Some raiders will carry a combat shotgun.
 * Megaton- One can be found in the Megaton armory.
 * One can be found at the Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel.
 * All rigged shotgun traps when disarmed will give you a low-condition combat shotgun plus some ammo.
 * Carolina Red, Lana Danvers, Leroy Walker, Rocksalt, Ryan Brigg all carry the combat shotgun.
 * Simone Cameron will carry one at the Lincoln Memorial if you side with the slaves.
