The Jackhammer, despite its name, is an easy to control shotgun even when fired on full automatic. The popular bullpup design, which places the magazine behind the trigger, makes the weapon well balanced and easy to control. |

[edit] Locations
- Very rarely, it is possible to find these shotguns on the inner land, wielded by Enclave soldiers. It can also be found on several characters in NCR that can be killed for missions, making at least two easily attainable before level five.
In game, this is the most powerful shotgun, having greater range, damage and burst fire capabilities and is able with a good burst to shred against strong critters.
[edit] Behind the scenes
In real life, the Jackhammer was a prototype design that failed to reach full-fledged production due to its manufacturer's bankruptcy. The game stays true to the weapon's reputation of controllability, even with automatic fire.

In Fallout Tactics, a new type of Pancor Jackhammer appeared and it does more damage.
[edit] Locations
While the Jackhammer does more damage than the H&K CAWS and has both greater range and damage than the Neostead Combat SG, it lacks the ability to make targeted shots which both of those shotguns have. However, it does have a lower strength requirement, making it easier to wield without the use of drugs.
