Weapon characteristics

 * The Terrible Shotgun has a far larger spread than normal shotguns. Full damage is only done if all pellets hit, this is very hard to do as its accuracy is lower than the combat shotgun. This is where the Kneecapper can be all the difference in a straight up fight.


 * However, in point-blank encounters, 2-3 shots with this gun can kill a Yao Guai or a Deathclaw. One shot with this gun to the head can even take out an NPC wearing power armor.

Obtaining the gun from Smiling Jack
--NOTE: rather than being a glitch, this has to be with AI; it's not smart to keep a weapon you cant use equipped, so it's unequipped if there is no ammo. if there is another weapon in the inventory that DOES have ammo however, that weapon is equipped in the first weapons place(unless the character/weapon in question is subject to a bug). --NOTE: As of the new patch Smiling Jacks shotgun ammunition respawns when stolen even if you leave the bazaar, save, reload. This causes him to not place the Terrible Shotgun in his inventory. (Tested on 360)
 * You can kill him (no Karma effect) and get not only his gun but all his inventory, in which case you should sell him as much of your inventory first as he has caps, then you get back your stuff and still all the caps which he doesn't seem to have on him otherwise.
 * You can get him to repair some equipment, then kill him, the caps you gave him for the repair will be on him when you loot the body.
 * Also, when you loot the body, the caps you gave him when repairing or buying, will be in his locker right near him. Use his key he has on him to get it. For me, I recieved 2,239 of my caps back.
 * You can engage him in combat, the goal being not to kill him, and just shoot it out of his hand, and picking it up before he does. Leave the Bazaar and come back after a minimum of 72 hours. This is the time it takes for an NPC or group of them to "forget" about the trouble a player might have caused. Return, and you still have a valuable business partner.
 * Possibly the most effective and quickest way of obtaining the shotgun, pickpocket his shotgun ammunition, leave the Bazaar, save the game then reload and re-enter the Bazaar. The gun will then be an available item in his inventory and can now be pickpocketed.He has no use for it with no ammo? (possibly a glitch).
 * Its also possible to break the Terrible Shotgun with an aimed-shot, then put your weapon away to end the fight, at this point you've forced the gun into Jack's inventory. You can now pickpocket it with no effect on your trading relationship or karma.
