Sawed-Off Shotgun (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Sawed-off shotgun is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
It has almost the exact same characteristics of that of the Sawed-off shotgun of Fallout 3, except that this one can only be fired once before it has to be reloaded (using two shot shells at once when firing) and it has silver plating instead of black.

Each shot delivers 14 pellets (instead of the typical 7), and while its DPS is low, it inflicts good burst damage at close range, making for powerful sneak attacks.

Variants

 * Big Boomer

Locations

 * Sawed-off shotguns are carried by the bartenders at The Tops Casino in the restaurant and theater.
 * One can also be found at the end of the They Went That-a-Way quest. Jessup, the leader of the Great Khan group holding out in Boulder City, carries it.
 * In the Atomic Wrangler Casino, there is a gun case in the back room behind the bar. You can find two sawed-off shotguns, as well as some shells. Stealing these will only result in a minimal karma loss.
 * This weapon, like all other conventional firearms, can be purchased in perfect condition at Gun Runners.
 * You can receive one from Heck Gunderson during Beyond the Beef quest, right after contact with Chauncey (head back to Heck and tell him that his son kidnapped and holding in hotel).
 * Should you help Cachino kill Big Sal and Nero in How Little We Know, he'll hand you a sawed-off and 30 12 gauge magnum shells when you enter Nero's office.
