.45 Auto Submachine Gun

The .45 Auto submachine gun is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.

Characteristics
The .45 Auto submachine gun (SMG) is an old two-handed automatic weapon that was stored in US Army and National Guard armories at the time of the war. A large number of them have surfaced after these armories were breached by looters after the war, most notably the White Legs, for whom the .45 SMG became a signature weapon.

Like most automatic weapons, the high spread of this weapon requires the player character to be at close range for all of the rounds fired to impact on the target, though this can be negated somewhat by the recoil compensator. Additionally, the gun consumes ammunition quickly, and can eat through .45 Auto rounds at alarming speeds.

With both mods added to the gun, it takes 2,496 shots (about 85 normal Magazines, or about 50 modded ones) from full condition to break it.

Modifications

 * .45 Auto SMG drums - increases ammunition capacity from 30 to 50.
 * .45 Auto SMG comp. - reduces weapons spread.

Locations

 * White Legs storm-drummers will occasionally carry them.
 * Daniel carries one.
 * They can also be purchased from Joshua Graham.
 * After returning to the Mojave Wasteland, it can be purchased from the Vendortron at the Gun Runners, as well as Michelle from the 188 Trading Post.

Behind the scenes

 * Although based on the M1 Thompson submachine gun, the .45 Auto SMG is not an exact reproduction, as the M1 and M1A1 models would not accept the drum magazine nor the compensator.
