Shotgun (Fallout)

The Winchester Widowmaker, or simply the shotgun, is a small gun in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics
The Winchester Widowmaker shotgun is a double-barreled 12 gauge shotgun with a mahogany grip. It also has a sawed-off variant in Fallout 2. It is a common weapon used early in the game. Compared to the sawed-off version, this has a 2-point-lower max damage, and requires both hands, but has doubled range.

Behind the scenes
The shotgun's name, the Winchester Widowmaker, is a reference to the real life Winchester Model 1911 shotgun that was nicknamed "the Widowmaker" due to a safety issue. Unlike the real shotgun, however, the Widowmaker in the games is a double-barrel shotgun instead of a single-barreled semi-automatic.
