Improved focus and better sighted accuracy. Better critical shot damage and accuracy.Įxceptional damage. Improved rate of fire and armor penetration. The combat shotgun and combat rifle share nearly identical models, with only a few differences. This is similar to the effect of finned barrels on pipe guns. On the plus side, when hip firing outside of V.A.T.S., unlike other weapons, shotguns suffer no penalty to the aiming reticle size when moving the weapon laterally. The weapon features a rather heavy recoil even when fully optimized with modifications for recoil control it still remains considerable, which can limit the weapon's ability to accurately make rapid follow up shots anywhere outside of point-blank range. This is in addition to the consequences of pellet spread at range, which will cause more pellets to miss as the range increases. The range-based damage penalties are five times greater than for other types of weapons. Like double-barreled shotguns, combat shotguns suffer very severe damage penalties when fired outside of the listed range. In fact, the hair trigger and advanced semi-auto receivers fire faster than the various automatic receivers, apart from the rapid automatic receiver. But the automatic receiver fires barely faster than (manually) rapid-firing the semi-automatic version. The combat shotgun can, however, be upgraded to be a fully automatic weapon at the expense of reduced range (in contrast to other weapons where fully automatic modification mainly reduces damage per shot and only has a small effect on the range). Each shell holds 7 (shot) pellets by default. As indicated by the metal stamping on the weapon's bolt, the combat shotgun is chambered for 12 gauge shotgun shells. The weapon is semi-automatic, and being magazine fed it does well in clearing out rooms and ripping apart enemies at close range.
The default combat shotgun utilizes an 8 round box magazine but can be upgraded with a 12 round extended magazine or a 32 round drum magazine. Most combat shotguns are fully automatic and have a drum magazine, giving them a definite advantage over break-action double-barrel shotguns. While limited in range, the multiple projectiles typically used in a shotgun shell provide increased hit probability unmatched by other small arms, usually utilized in close-range combat.
