The Lever-Action Shotgun is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Gameplay
This shotgun has a lever-action (similar to the Cowboy Repeater) and fires 20 Gauge Rounds. It has the highest damage-per-second of all 20-gauge shotguns. The only real disadvantages to the lever-action are the ammunition capacity and the fact that it must be single-loaded instead of feeding from a detachable magazine.
The gun can be interrupted mid-way through reloading and fired immediately if needed. It can cause the knockback effect. The Lever-Action Shotgun has the distinction of being the only weapon boosted by both the Cowboy and Shotgun Surgeon perks.
Durability
The Lever-Action Shotgun can fire a total of about 495 standard shells, the equivalent of 99 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
Ammunition Type | Durability | |
---|---|---|
Shots | Reloads | |
Standard, 3/0 buck, slug & pulse slug | 495 | 99 |
Magnum & 3/0 buck Magnum | 430 | 86 |

The weapon is based on a modified Winchester 1887.[Dev 1]
Bugs
Jam animations were unused in weapons with looping reloads like the Lever-Action Shotgun due to bugs, and as a result, they will never jam, even at near-breaking condition.
