H&K CAWS

H&K CAWS is a Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics weapon.

The CAWS, short for Close Assault Weapons System, shotgun is a useful tool for close-range combat. The bullpup layout gives the weapon a short, easily handleable, length while still retaining enough barrel length for its high velocity shells.

Fallout 2

 * Locations: There are many locations you can find this weapon, but the earliest time you can find this weapon is during a slaver Random encounter outside of Vault City. A raider in Vault 15 also holds this weapon.

Superior version of the Combat shotgun, but also a fair bit more expensive. Longer range and more bullets per burst, but less shell capacity.

In real life, the H&K CAWS was a prototype shotgun designed to fire high-impulse tungsten buckshot or flechettes that never reached production due to the cancellation of the CAWS project by the US.

Fallout Tactics

 * Locations: Mardin
