This model of [[combat shotgun]] was deployed as a close assault fire team's primary weapon (supplemented with explosives, an [[10mm pistol (Fallout 3)|N99 pistol]], and a [[Power fist (Fallout 3)|power fist]]) during the [[Battle of Anchorage|Anchorage Reclamation]], and many working units have been scavenged by [[Raider (Fallout 3)|raiders]], [[Slavery|slavers]], and [[Talon Company merc]]s in the [[Capital Wasteland]].

{{main|History of the Great Khans}}
  
−
{{quotation|Though they have had a rough history, the legendary Great Khans are one of the longest-lived gangs to come out of the southwest.|[[Loading screen]]}}
  
   
  +
==Characteristics==
−
The Great Khans are the only truly organized band of raiders in the Mojave and, as befits their warrior culture, men and women both can hold their own in a fight, whether in a brawl or a shootout. As a tribe however, the Great Khans are but a shadow of their former selves. Both their numbers and morale have been ravaged by a series of massacres and displacements. From their rocky stronghold at [[Red Rock Canyon]], they make a living by drug-trafficking and the occasional raid or salvage find.
 
  +
Vastly superior to the [[Sawed-off shotgun (Fallout 3)|sawed-off shotgun]], the combat shotgun combines a large drum magazine with mutilating close-range damage. The only drawback is the weapon's poor reliability, as the combat shotgun deteriorates quickly. However, considering it is commonly used by human opponents, and its use in traps, you can usually find enough to keep at least one in fully working order.
   
  +
Unlike the [[combat shotgun]]s in previous ''Fallout'' games, the combat shotgun in ''Fallout 3'' is not fully-automatic.
−
Since the [[Bitter Springs Massacre]], the tribe has aspired to little more than survival and isolation, with often petty acts of vengeance on the occasional [[New California Republic|NCR]] citizen or deserter. The arrival of a [[Caesar's Legion|Legion]] emissary, [[Karl (Fallout: New Vegas)|Karl]], has changed this. [[Papa Khan]], the tribe's leader, wants to believe Karl's assurances that the Great Khans will be absorbed intact by the Legion, assuming glory and an honored place as one of its elite forces. To lead the assaults on [[Hoover Dam]] and the [[New Vegas Strip|Vegas Strip]] would make for fine acts of vengeance. The rest of the Great Khans are not so entirely convinced.
  
   
  +
===Durability===
−
As much as they want to exact revenge on the NCR and [[Robert House|Mr. House]]'s [[Three Families]], as it was implied that the Great Khans had a war against the [[Omertas]], they know that they lack the strength to do so. Indeed, they believe it is only a matter of time before their enemies track them down and that the Great Khans would be unlikely to survive such a confrontation. The looming conflict between Caesar's Legion and the NCR, along with the message from Karl, offers the possibility of a new way forward. Karl betrays the Khans and never did mean to be on their side, as told in his [[Karl's journal|journal]], in reality the Great Khans will be enslaved by the Legion after the [[Second Battle of Hoover Dam]].
  
  +
The combat shotgun can fire a total of about 145 rounds, the equivalent of 13 reloads, from full [[Condition#Equipment condition in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas|condition]] before breaking.

* [[The Terrible Shotgun]] - Carried by the raider merchant [[Smiling Jack]], The Terrible Shotgun deals an obscene amount of damage to targets, in exchange for a much wider spread. It's also slightly heavier.

[[File:Fallout New Vegas Great Khan Red Rock Canyon (4).jpg|thumb|200px|Great Khan camp in Red Rock Canyon]]
  
−
The Great Khans reside in Mongolian-style tents called Gers within [[Red Rock Canyon]]. However, unlike the other settlers of the Mojave, these homes are used for little more than sleeping in as they usually only have room for a couple of beds and a central fire. A Great Khan often carries all of their possessions with them, if they should decide to have anything besides the bare essentials. Because of this, as well as their aggression, the other factions view them as savages. However, unlike the [[Jackals]], [[Fiends]], [[Scorpions (gang)|Scorpions]] and [[Vipers]] the Great Khans are not hostile towards new-comers. As a similarity, if the Great Khans begin to dislike someone they will often show great hostility towards them.
  
   
  +
===Comparison===
−
The Great Khans subsist on hunting and farming, as well as producing chemicals and drugs in the [[Red Rock Drug Lab]]. The Canyon is a harsh environment for plants, leading the Great Khans to depend on drugs as a substitute for crops, which they can create quite easily and can sell to a multitude of factions. Coincidentally, one of their most frequent consumers is also their largest enemy: the New California Republic. The NCR officially has a ban on illegal drugs, however the [[Crimson Caravan]] and wealthy merchants that make up the NCR frequently turn a blind eye in order to make a profit. While these merchants make up a large portion of their custom, their biggest consumer is, by far, the [[Fiends]] - violent raiders constantly searching for new and exciting drugs. Though the drug trade is not the Great Khans' only form of self-sufficiency. They constantly hunt geckos and [[bighorner]]s for their meat and pelts, which are tanned into the leather outfits they are often seen wearing. The Great Khans also wear crude armor plating on their legs.

==Locations==
−
The Great Khans' preferred form of warfare is through war parties, where multiple central figures lead their own individual units into individual battles and adapt on the fly, rather than being ordered by a main unit.
  
  +
* [[Rivet City]] - One is on display at [[Flak 'N Shrapnel's]] and can be bought or stolen.
−  
  +
* [[Megaton]] - One can be found in the [[Megaton armory]].
−
==Relations with the outside==
  
  +
* One can be found at the [[Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel]].
−
The Great Khans usually keep to themselves, rarely traveling too far from Red Rock Canyon, besides the odd raiding party or trek to [[Fiends|Fiend]] territory for fear of being attacked by NCR troops. They frequently visit the fiends and other tribes or organizations dependent on their drugs, despite the fact that they are quite isolated and hostile to many factions. They remain suspicious of many strangers, because of what happened to them at Bitter Springs, although they are always ready to accept a newcomer and perform their brutal initiation rituals on them. They are often unpredictable and brash so relations are treated with caution, as the wrong word will often set off a fuse in them. They are hostile against anyone wearing NCR apparel, including the Courier.
  
  +
* All rigged shotgun traps, when disarmed, will give you a low-condition combat shotgun plus 4 shells.
−  
  +
* [[Bethesda Offices West]] - Three are rigged to a [[pressure plate]] in the only room on the 3rd floor.
−
The Followers of the Apocalypse visited them upon the arrival of Red Rock Canyon and helped them with books, medicine and technology. When the Khans instead chose to use that knowledge to become drug dealers, they withdrew their support in disgust.

* [[Simone Cameron]] will carry one at the [[Lincoln Memorial]] if you side with the slaves.

  +
* Sometimes [[Raider (Fallout 3)|raider]]s will use these.
−
The Great Khans use a very random assortment of weapons, while most Great Khans boast of their great strength very few use melee weapons as their primary weapon, even though a large arena resides in the canyon where multiple Khans hone their melee fighting abilities. Many Great Khans use [[10mm submachine gun (Fallout: New Vegas)|10mm submachine gun]]s, [[Sawed-off shotgun (Fallout: New Vegas)|sawed-off shotguns]], and [[9mm submachine gun (Fallout: New Vegas)|9mm submachine gun]]s. Others around Red Rock Canyon may be found carrying [[hunting revolver]]s, [[hunting shotgun]]s, [[trail carbine]]s and [[12.7mm pistol]]s as well as the random weapons in between.
 
  +
* [[Talon Company merc]]s will sometimes carry them.

−
They have picked up methods of how to make chems by abusing the trust of the [[Followers of the Apocalypse]] (However if you convince them to leave the Mojave, they will eventually heal their relations with the Followers). They are known to grow a small amount of crops in Red Rock Canyon. Unlike most other inhabitants of the Mojave, the Great Khans are a tribal / raider group that live in tents.

The combat shotgun is a small gun in Fallout 3.

Background

This section is transcluded from shotgun. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

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."

This model of combat shotgun was deployed as a close assault fire team's primary weapon (supplemented with explosives, an N99 pistol, and a power fist) during the Anchorage Reclamation, and many working units have been scavenged by raiders, slavers, and Talon Company mercs in the Capital Wasteland.

Characteristics

Vastly superior to the sawed-off shotgun, the combat shotgun combines a large drum magazine with mutilating close-range damage. The only drawback is the weapon's poor reliability, as the combat shotgun deteriorates quickly. However, considering it is commonly used by human opponents, and its use in traps, you can usually find enough to keep at least one in fully working order.

Unlike the combat shotguns in previous Fallout games, the combat shotgun in Fallout 3 is not fully-automatic.

Durability

The combat shotgun can fire a total of about 145 rounds, the equivalent of 13 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

  • The Terrible Shotgun - Carried by the raider merchant Smiling Jack, The Terrible Shotgun deals an obscene amount of damage to targets, in exchange for a much wider spread. It's also slightly heavier.
  • Sim version Operation: Anchorage (add-on) - A sim-only version of the weapon which differs in health, having such a high rating as to be essentially non-degrading. It also has a cleaner, less battered appearance than the standard Fallout 3 version.
