Combat Shotgun (Fallout 3)

The Drum-Magazine Combat Shotgun is a common Fallout 3 weapon.

Characteristics
The weapon appears to be functionally identical to its predecessors while its design has changed significantly (see Trivia section). The unique form of this gun is The Terrible Shotgun.

Unique Versions

 * The Terrible Shotgun is found in the Evergreen Mills Bazaar and is owned by Smiling Jack.
 * Charon's Shotgun is used by Charon and is only accessible to the PC through the console.

Trivia

 * Judging by its look, this shotgun's appearance was likely inspired by the Russian PPSh-41. The overall appearance, fire selector switch located inside the trigger guard, and the barrel's protruding muzzle-brake and the drum magazine are all similarities. The way the reloading procedure is operated also points to the real PPSh-41. The obvious difference (besides the location of the drum magazine, which is further down the barrel) is that the PPSh-41 was a submachine gun (loaded with 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridges and a 71-round magazine).


 * Functionally however the Combat Shotgun is is very similar to the USAS-12 Automatic Shotgun.
