K9000 Cyberdog Gun

The K9000 Cyberdog Gun is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Characteristics
This weapon is actually a peculiar form of cyber dog, except instead of a robotic body in the image of a canine companion, a living dog's brain has been provided with a machine gun frame utilizing the .357 magnum ammunition. Its "canine" features include two metallic "ears" mounted on top of the weapon that move like a real dog's and a sniffer mounted on the jar, allowing the gun to sense its surroundings. The metal ears also seem to move up and down faster if your pointing in the direction of an enemy

It will growl when the player has it equipped and comes into contact with enemies, whine (mournfully) when they un-equip it and will bark when equipped. It also has, atypically for a machine gun, a telescopic sight which allows an accurate aiming point and excellent precision in firing. When fired, the barrels move forward and back, rather than the spinning like that of the Minigun.

It causes certain distress in Doctor Klein, as he is afraid that the Cyber dog gun may attempt to hump his chassis.
