Hunting Shotgun

The  is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It has a unique variant, the Dinner Bell.

Characteristics

 * A very powerful weapon that holds 5 12ga shells.
 * With a modification this shotgun can hold 8 shells.
 * It has a good maximum range for a shotgun.
 * With several different types of ammunition for different ranges and power, this gun is very multi-purpose and can save space in your inventory.
 * With all mods attached it is a very useful weapon and should be the only shotgun you carry unless you often face multiple enemies, as the long reload limits it's use in sustained firefights. For more than 5-6 enemies use the Riot shotgun.
 * Excellent for hunting deathclaws. Use Bean Bag Shot to knock it out, then switch to slugs to finish it. (Not recommanded, use riot shotgun for this tactics as the ammo switch takes forever)
