Dinner Bell

Dinner Bell is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It is a unique variant of the hunting shotgun.

Characteristics
Dinner Bell is a unique variant of the hunting shotgun. It differs in appearance to the standard shotgun with the metal of the barrel, receiver, and shell ejection port seem to appear to be more well-maintained, and that the stock and grip pump are synthetic with a camouflage pattern.

This weapon, like most unique weapons, cannot be modified, with either the longtube or the choke modifications, but the weapon already incorporates the choke and has a reduced spread when compared to the unmodified hunting shotgun. Dinner Bell still has the advantage of greater damage compared to a fully-modified hunting shotgun.

Durability
Dinner Bell can fire a total of about 745 standard shells, the equivalent of 149 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Hunting shotgun, the standard variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.

Location
Dinner Bell is given as a reward by Red Lucy in The Thorn, after completing the quest Bleed Me Dry.

Bugs

 * Switching to the ammunition types when there is less than a full reload of that ammunition type while moving will cause a looped reloading sequence.
 * It can be easily fixed by simply changing ammunition type once more, or switching weapons.
 * When reloading the gun in 3rd person the player does not pump the shotgun if they are moving, leaving the pump back and the chamber open. staying still while loading the last  round will avoid this. And firing will fix it.
 * Using this weapon in V.A.T.S. may cause the player's character to freeze and not fire at the intended target. The player will be stuck in the third person view for up to 15 seconds and be vulnerable to attack. This only happens while the bug above is in effect because the weapons pump/chamber will be open, making the weapon incapable of firing until the V.A.T.S. sequence is over, and the courier finishes the pump.
