Hunting Shotgun

The  is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It has a unique variant, the Dinner Bell.

Characteristics

 * A very powerful weapon that holds 5 12ga shells.
 * With a modification this shotgun can hold 8 shells.
 * It has a good maximum range for a shotgun.
 * With several different types of ammunition for different ranges and power, this gun is very multi-purpose and can save space in your inventory.
 * With all mods attached it is a very useful weapon and should be the only shotgun you carry unless you often face multiple enemies, as the long reload limits it's use in sustained firefights. For more than 5-6 enemies use the Riot shotgun.
 * Excellent for hunting deathclaws. Use Bean Bag Shot to knock it out, then switch to slugs to finish it.
