Combat Shotgun (Fallout 3)

The Fallout 3 Combat Shotgun appears to be functionally identical to its predecessors while its design has changed significantly. It now resembles a Soviet PPSh-41 submachine gun with a wooden stock and an Armsel Striker-style drum magazine mounted very close to the muzzle of the gun as opposed to being made entirely out of metal with a bullpup configuration. The unique form of this gun is The Terrible Shotgun.

Strategy
The Combat Shotgun is especially useful against Mirelurks and other melee fighters that prefer to charge you.

If you want to see the Combat Shotgun at its best, wait for a dog/molerat to leap up at you, quickly enter V.A.T.S. and aim for the head. The result will be a bloody explosion and the animals head shall be no more! (its pretty cool if you haven't gathered that already).

Companions
Charon wields an apparently unique shotgun that does not deteriorate, has infinite ammo, and has a unique firing spread. It will fire almost perfectly straight with a very tight spread that hardly gets wider. It cannot be interacted with.
