Combat Shotgun (Fallout)

The Winchester City-Killer combat shotgun is a small gun in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Background
A Winchester City-Killer 12-gauge combat shotgun, bullpup variant. In excellent condition, it has the optional DesertWarfare environmental sealant modification for extra reliability. It was manufactured by Winchester, a pre-War arms company.

Characteristics
The Winchester City-Killer is a semi-powerful combat shotgun, that excels in close-range combat. In terms of damage-per-shot, its maximum base damage is matched or outclassed by the Sniper rifle, Red Ryder LE BB gun and .223 pistol in Fallout, as well as the Pancor Jackhammer, H&K CAWS, Gauss rifle, and Gauss pistol in Fallout 2. However, it is more ammo-conservative due to its use of 12 gauge shotgun shells, which is more common than many of the other ammo types of the weapons that outclass it.
