The sturdy caravan shotgun is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background
A shotgun, also called a "scattergun," is a firearm designed to shoot a multitude of lead or steel balls of varying sizes, greatly increasing the weapon's hit potential. This makes it very effective at hunting game.[Non-game 1] However, the accuracy and power found at close range starts to diminish as the target gets farther away. Shotguns designed for the military's use are often called "combat shotguns."
Characteristics
This weapon is an "over-and-under" shotgun with a pattern/logo cut into the stock and engraving on the frame. Despite its rough appearance this caravan shotgun is extremely durable, with more than twice the item health of a normal caravan shotgun, hence the name.
Variants
- Caravan shotgun, a common variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.

Notes
The caravan shotgun uses a screw as an iron sight. The raised off-center piece is the release allowing the gun to break and be reloaded.
- This gun does not count towards the Ne Ne Ne Ne... challenge.
- This gun is significantly more durable than a standard caravan shotgun, but somewhat less accurate. If your repair skill is high enough to make the added durability unnecessary, it may be worth going with the standard version instead.
Locations
Originally, the only way to acquire this weapon was by redeeming the code that came with the pre-order exclusive Caravan Pack. It can now also be acquired by purchasing the add-on Courier's Stash.
