Combat Shotgun (Fallout 3)

The Combat Shotgun is a common Fallout 3 weapon.

Characteristics
The weapon appears to be functionally identical to its predecessors while its design has changed significantly. The combat shotgun seems to have a design similair to a Striker Shotgun except the magazine is closer to the edge of the barrel.

Variants

 * The Terrible Shotgun - Carried by raider merchant Smiling Jack, The Terrible Shotgun deals an obscene amount of damage to targets, in exchange for a much wider spread.

Behind the scenes

 * Judging by its look, this shotgun's appearance was likely inspired by the Russian PPSh-41. The overall appearance, fire selector switch located inside the trigger guard, and the barrel's protruding muzzle-brake and the drum magazine are all similarities. The way the reloading procedure is operated also points to the real PPSh-41. The obvious difference (besides the location of the drum magazine, which is further down the barrel) is that the PPSh-41 was a submachine gun (loaded with 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridges and a 71-round magazine).
