A combat shotgun is a weapon appearing in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and Fallout Shelter.

Background[]

A combat shotgun is a shotgun that is intended for use in an offensive role, typically by a military force. 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.[Non-game 1] Most combat shotguns are fully automatic and have a drum magazine, giving them a definite advantage over break-action double-barrel shotguns.

SPAS-12[]

SPAS-12 Combat Shotgun

The SPAS-12 was designed in the late 1970s by the Italian company Luigi Franchi Spa as a special purpose, military and police close combat weapon (SPAS originally stood for "Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun"; it was later renamed "Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun" in a failed bid to get import approval to the United States). This two-handed shotgun rapidly fires a thick, deadly blast of pellets.
