“This squad-level support weapon has a bullpup design. The bullpup design makes it difficult to use while lying down. Because of this it was remanded to National Guard units. It, however, earned a reputation as a reliable weapon that packs a lot of punch for its size.”

The light support weapon is a big gun in Fallout 2.

Characteristics

This weapon is like the Bozar, but less powerful. It uses the same ammo, but does less damage and fires less ammo (10 vs the Bozar's 15) per burst. This can be good however, if you want to save ammo, or want to fire 3 times before reloading as opposed to the Bozar's 2. It works pretty much the same way as the Bozar otherwise. Use it to save ammo and/or to engage multiple, weaker targets (that the Bozar would be overkill on) more quickly.

Locations

Claim Jumpers and the people they fight on Redding caravans carry light support weapons sometimes. You can buy them from the San Francisco shop keeper sometimes, too. Buster in the NCR Bazaar also has some for sale every once in a while.

Behind the scenes

Though never named in game, the LSW is modelled after the L86A1 LMG, a variant of the SA80 family of small arms used by the British military.
