X-7b "Boom Town" Target Zone

The X-7b "Boom Town" target zone is a location in the east of the Big MT near the X-8 research center.

Layout
Boom Town is a mock settlement set up for the express purpose of testing the performance of Saturnite artillery shells. It is paired with the X-7a "Left Field" artillery launch facility. The entire area is irradiated as a side effect of weapons testing, with craters full of green radioactive material.

Notable loot

 * Nuka-Cola Quartz and Nuka-Cola Victory - In the house to the northeast of the area.
 * Atomic-valence tri-radii-oscillator and the Guns skill book recipe - Can be found inside a footlocker in a crater north of the western-most house after firing the fixed gun located at the X-7a "Left Field" artillery launch.
 * A strange cask (wooden barrel) can be found on top of a hill (outside the fence) just northwest of the footlocker. Inside and on top of the cask are 4 bottles of Battle Brew.

Appearances
The X-7b "Boom Town" target zone appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Behind the scenes
The term "boom town" is military slang for artificial settlements they would build and fill with houses, cars, and mannequins to see how atomic bombs would affect them during nuclear testing in the 1950s and 60s.
