Caravan Shotgun

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

Characteristics
The caravan shotgun is a short shotgun in which one barrel is mounted on top of the other. The iron sight is a screw which holds the action release lever to the receiver. This weapon has a strength requirement of 3.

It can be a bit confusing when trying to aim with the iron sights, you have to put your target behind the screw that is somewhat blocking the players view, a little above the middle of the screw. There are four horizontal marks on the screw; you want to put your target behind the second mark from the top.

Because of that, and a large spread, it makes it very difficult to shoot slugs at a distance, better to only use buckshot for this gun.
