Riot Shotgun

The riot shotgun is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
This riot shotgun is a semi-automatic shotgun with a drum magazine. The Riot Shotgun has very high Damage Per Second and will destroy essentially anything at very close range, especially with the Shotgun Surgeon perk. Good for fighting multiple enemies. It also reloads much faster than any other shotgun and therefore can change ammo type very quickly. The riot shotgun is the New Vegas equivalent of the combat shotgun.
