The single shotgun is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics[]
Along with the varmint rifle, 9mm pistol and laser pistol, the single shotgun is available to the player at the lowest levels of the game and has the highest single shot damage of the four. Though it only carries a single round of ammunition, it has a fast reload speed that allows multiple shots in a single V.A.T.S. round and is quite accurate for a shotgun, with the second lowest spread after Dinner Bell. However, it has a high AP cost of 45 AP per shot.
Durability[]
The single shotgun can fire a total of about 995 standard rounds from full condition before breaking.

---|---|---|
Shots | Reloads | |
Standard, 3/0 buck, slug & pulse slug | 995 | 995 |
Magnum & 3/0 buck Magnum | 865 | 865 |
