Dinner Bell

Dinner Bell is a unique weapon .
==Background==
==Characteristics==
Compared to the standard hunting shotgun, Dinner Bell comes with the choke modification pre-installed. It does greater damage per shot and has the same rate of fire, thus a higher damage-per-second (DPS) value. It also deals slightly higher critical hit damage, has less spread than the standard but more than the modified, has less durability than both standard and modified, and has a caps higher than the standard, but lower than the modified. 
It differs in appearance to the standard shotgun with the metal of the barrel, receiver, and shell ejection port seem to appear to be more well-maintained, and that the stock and pump are synthetic with a camouflage pattern. Like most other unique weapons, non-installed weapon modifications cannot be used on Dinner Bell.
===Durability===
Dinner Bell can fire a total of about 745 standard shells, the equivalent of 149 reloads, from full condition before breaking. 
==Variants==
* Hunting shotgun - the standard variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
===Comparison===
==Location==
Dinner Bell is given as a reward by Red Lucy in the Thorn after completing all hunting requests during Bleed Me Dry.
==Notes==
The collector's edition of the Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide from Prima Games lists the weapon location as being obtainable in the nuclear test shack in addition to completing Bleed Me Dry, which is incorrect.
==Bugs==
* Switching to the ammunition types when there is less than a full reload of that ammunition type while moving will cause a looped reloading sequence. 
** It can be easily fixed by simply changing ammunition type once more, or switching weapons.
* Using this weapon in V.A.T.S. may cause the player's character to freeze and not fire at the intended target. The player character will be stuck in the third person view for up to 15 seconds and be vulnerable to attack. This only happens while the bug above is in effect because the weapons pump/chamber will be open, making the weapon incapable of firing until the V.A.T.S. sequence is over, and the courier finishes the pump. 
* The Dinner Bell shows a normal 12 gauge (red) plastic shell when in 1st person but still loads an incorrect 20 gauge (yellow) shotgun shell in 3rd person.
