Has the Combat Shotgun been confirmed to return?

They said there will be 2x guns in NV than it was in FO3, so there is no reason and probability they will remove the old ones.

There is nothing wrong with polymer its durable, light weight, and in a lot cases very strong.

But in my humble opinion the guns made of wood have that rustic charm, along with a crafted look to them and are far more beautiful weapons to shoot and have as a means of protection in the Mojave Wasteland. :tops:

"Wood and metal" firearms are so sixy! I think the plastic all weapons are made out of nowadays isn't cool at all, just makes it harder to distinguish from a toy gun. :)


And I like the Combat Shotgun, even though it's a PPSh-41 turned into a semi-auto shotgun. I think the looks really fit a shotgun, and that it proves that in an alternative universe a sub-machine gun can be turned into a shotgun, though it shoulda been an automatic shotgun for perfection - A 12-gauge PPSh-41

Somehow, I question the lack of kickback on an automatic shotgun. :laugh:

Definitely agree that wood and metal guns have the rustic charm and look better / more appealing.

But for utility and function, the plastic semi-autos are just far superior. They don't degrade and loosen up the way wood/metal guns do, they're more durable, are Significantly lighter (which is a really big deal with handguns), and hold up better against water and deterioration. So there are many reasons why polymer guns are more popular now, and yes they do look almost exactly like Toy guns these days. Still for personal carry the plastic guns are king, but for looks and appeal, metal/wood any day.

I Loved the combat shotgun in Fo3, but felt that it was a little Too powerful. In my first play-throughs I ended-up falling back to the combat shotgun in most mutant or close-quarter situations because it was so powerful. I suspect we will def. see combat shotguns again, but hopefully they will do more realistic damage (based on ammo of course).

I think DT will significantly change the effectiveness of shotguns--they'll still be good against unarmoured ferals, but they will feel much weaker against anyone with any sort of armour. Of course, you can switch to slugs to get some good oomph that isn't split up into many pellets with a small amount of damage each.

The only combat shotgun that shall be in the game is the Winchester City-Killer from Fallout 1 & 2.

Deep inside me, I hope that the riot shotgun in new vegas is just a new name for it...

as long as theres at least one (shik-shik) pump shotgun :lol:

MP40 would be very, very awesome, Its still my favorite Sub-Machine Gun of WWII. :tops:

Meh if the actual PPSh made an appearance I'd be happier than an MP40. It's all opinion though.

I love em' all to be honest, The German & Russian Sub-Machine Gun designs during WWII really are my favorites. (It'd be awesome if we got PPSh-41 and a MP40) :tops:

That would be epic although I''ve always loved the STG more than the MP40 although it's more of an assault rifle still one bad-ass gun.

I'm glad that there'll be pump-actions. They actually look like shotguns.

Just wiki'd it. It looks sick.

Perhaps a Winchester Model 1887? Or does the lever-action shotgun look like that?

We should get the http://img.redwolfairsoft.com/upload/product/img/TNK-M1897-BAYONET.jpg now that would kick some serious ass. :tops:

EDIT: It can double as a melee weapon if you change modes or something.

In the original Fallout, this was a very powerful weapon, especially if obtained early on. Point blank, the burst mode tears most enemies to shreds. The combat shotgun is somewhat rare in Fallout, only able to be bought from two merchants, and found on one of the tough guards holding the Brotherhood initiate.

Dude, I'v seen this before. Thanks for bring it up. If ONLY their was an in-depth weapons modifier in fallout that allowed you to create that fine piece of machinery.

I liked the Jackhammer but I always preferred the City Killer, probably primarily because I used it and the Combat Armor all throughout Fallout...well all throughout it after I "acquired" it.

I spent alot of time decked out just like that. Cassidy with a scoped hunting rifle, and Sulik with a super sledge. Good times. :)
