Pancor Jackhammer (Fallout 2)

The Pancor Jackhammer is a small gun in Fallout 2.

Characteristics
In game, this is the most powerful shotgun, having greater range, damage and burst fire capabilities and is able with a good burst to shred against strong critters.

Locations

 * The two Enclave soldiers in the Salvatore-Enclave transaction are armed with them.
 * It can also be found on several characters in NCR, like Roger Westin, that can be killed for missions, making at least two easily attainable before level five.
 * Male Hubologist guards in San Francisco are armed with Jackhammers, while females have FN FAL rifles.

Behind the scenes
In real life, the Jackhammer was a prototype design that failed to reach full-fledged production due to its manufacturer's bankruptcy. Very few functional prototypes (according to some reports, as few as two) were ever made. The game stays true to the weapon's reputation of controllability, even with automatic fire.

Apperances
The Pancor Jackhammer first appears in Fallout 2, but also appears in Fallout Tactics.
