Shoulder Mounted Machine Gun

The shoulder mounted machine gun is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Characteristics
Essentially, the shoulder mounted machine gun (SMMG) is a 10mm minigun (except with a slower rate of fire) fired while the bulk of the weapon rests on the user's shoulder. Due to its high damage per shot and good rate of fire, it is easily the most effective 10mm weapon in the game. However, it can be difficult to maintain--as the only shoulder-mounted Guns weapon in the game, no other weapon can be used to maintain it even with Jury Rigging, and it is extremely expensive to repair unless you have a ready supply of weapon repair kits.
