Riot Shotgun

The riot shotgun is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
This riot shotgun is a semi-automatic shotgun with a drum magazine. The Riot Shotgun has very high Damage Per Second and will destroy essentially anything at very close range, especially with the Shotgun Surgeon perk. Good for fighting multiple enemies. It also reloads much faster than any other shotgun and therefore can change ammo type very quickly.

Locations

 * One is located in the armory in Vault 34 (in very low condition).
 * It is also possible to find one during a quest for the Van Graffs, at the final confrontation between the Van Graffs and Caesar's Legion where three of the Legionnaires carry Riot Shotguns (if above level 14).
 * Sold by the Gun Runners at 100% condition, just around the corner from Freeside's East Gate (available at level 16).
 * Some NCR Veteran Rangers carry Riot Shotguns.
 * The Omerta Thug guarding the bank in the Gomorrah has one. This is generally the only way a low-level character can get one, as he always has one even at level 1.
 * The quartermaster at the Hidden Valley bunker sometimes sells them, in varying states of repair.
 * The Chairman guarding the bank in The Tops has one.
